Your Story

When you come to see me, we start with your story — not just a list of symptoms.

Many people I work with have been unwell for a long time, have seen multiple clinicians, or have been told that tests are “normal” despite ongoing problems. Others have a clear diagnosis, but still feel they are not functioning as they should.

This appointment is a chance to step back, look at the whole picture, and work out what is most likely driving what you’re experiencing.

In your consultation we’ll explore what’s been happening in your health, what has changed over time, and what seems to trigger or worsen symptoms. We’ll look at your medical history, medications and supplements, and the areas that often shape recovery — including sleep, energy, digestion, stress load, nutrition, hormones, and immune resilience.

We’ll also go through what you’ve already tried. That matters, because it often shows what your system responds to, what hasn’t helped, and what may need a different approach.

My aim is that you leave with clarity. You’ll have a structured understanding of what I think is going on, what to prioritise first, and a plan that is realistic and manageable. Where appropriate, I may suggest targeted tests or referrals, but the focus is always on practical next steps and steady progress.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you book. We start where you are, and we build from there.

  • We start with your story — your symptoms, your health timeline, what you’ve tried already, and what matters most to you. We then agree priorities and practical next steps, including lifestyle and nutrition foundations and any targeted recommendations.

    The initial consultation is 90 minutes. This allows time to take a full history, understand patterns over time, and agree a clear plan.

  • In most cases, yes. My service is best suited to people who have already been through initial medical assessment and have either a diagnosis, or a clear set of investigations already completed with their GP or specialist.

    If you are experiencing new, severe, or rapidly worsening symptoms, you should seek assessment through your GP, NHS 111, or urgent care. If you’re unsure whether you’re suitable to book, please contact me before arranging an appointment.

  • No — I do not prescribe medication as part of this service.

  • Sometimes. If testing would genuinely help clarify what’s going on or guide a plan, I can recommend appropriate private testing options. Testing is never mandatory, and we can still make meaningful progress without it.

  • Fees vary depending on the type and length of appointment needed. Please contact me for current fees, and I’ll confirm costs in advance before you book. If you’re unsure whether this service is the right fit, you’re welcome to arrange a free 15-minute call first.

    Your first appointment is a 90-minute consultation. This allows time to take a detailed history, understand the full picture, and agree clear priorities and next steps. This includes time ahead of our meeting reviewing your paperwork.

    Follow-up appointments are 30-60 minutes and are arranged as needed, depending on your situation and goals.

    Testing (optional, additional cost)

    If I recommend additional testing after your consultation (for example stool or urine testing), this would be at an additional cost. Testing is not mandatory, and I will guide you through the most appropriate options.

    Self-pay

    This is a self-pay private service and I do not accept insurance.

  • Parent of teen

    "We have had a great experience with Dr Liz. The thorough questionnaires, her deep interest for her patient, her considerate and gentle manners, the comfortable and well located practice all contributed to give us a very good impression. Now in the process of gathering the data (through blood tests and other exams) that she asked for in order to have a more precise idea of the best possible treatment plan. We really appreciate the holistic and data-based approach which considers all the dimensions of the person’s health, very much needed for long term conditions. I would definitely recommend her services. ”

  • Patient's family member

    "It felt like a lot was riding on our first appointment. Dr Liz did such a sterling job of listening, clarifying, reassuring and moving us forward with suggestions and a plan - which is now unfolding, with a helpful level of guidance and motivation. Dr Liz brings that often-mentioned yet rarely-found ideal blend of friendly and professional!"

  • Parent

    "After a long time using the NHS route to get to the bottom of my son’s reflux and anxiety issues without any success and a life time of medication and antibiotics, we have started working with Dr Corcoran. Within weeks of her intervention we are seeing fantastic improvements with my son’s presentation. He is happier, calmer and we are following a process that feels like his well-being is at the center and his gut health is being really investigated. We are very happy with the prompt service and wealth of knowledge that Dr Corcoran is providing. She has taken time to really explain the holistic approach to his health to us in a way that my son can process."

  • Parent

    "Dr Liz is a fabulous practitioner who really understands a complex medical picture and is capable of breaking treatment pathways down into achievable parts, especially in cases like ours which could often feel overwhelming. She is a great listener and has a capable and professional manner but manages to balance that with an approachable kindness which is usually hard to come by."

  • Parent

    "I highly recommend Dr Liz. She gave us such thorough and professional care and was able to help both my sons . She related to them both brilliantly and they both enjoyed their sessions with her and felt really listened to. As did I. We previously had no idea about Functional Medicine but now realise that it can have a transformative effect on physical health, gut issues, mood and behaviour. We are so grateful for her involvement which has transformed our families health."

  • Parent

  • Patient

    “Dr. Liz has been essential to my journey of figuring out exactly what is going on with my health! She’s patiently helped me try to untangle the myriad of related symptoms and encouraged me to rest as much as I can. When I’ve been overwhelmed with the need to overhaul my diet, she’s gently reminded me that some change is better than no change, and I don’t have to do everything overnight. When I’ve had trouble understanding the science of what’s going on in my body. Dr. Liz has explained clearly and simply – often with diagrams, which I find extremely helpful! – how different systems interact with one another. She’s full of interesting information about new studies, the effects of vitamins and supplements, and how lifestyle choices affect overall health. I’ve learned so much working with her and am grateful for her time, patience, expertise, and encouragement.”
