Dr Brian Kaplan - Medical Doctor and Homeopath
Dr. Brian Kaplan is a qualified medical doctor specialising in Whole Person Medicine, Homeopathy, Autogenic Training (a powerful relaxation technique) and Provocative Therapy, the use of warmhearted humour and reverse psychology in psychotherapy.
Whole Person Medicine includes the best of conventional medicine as well as holistic and naturopathic approaches which aim to encourage the body to heal itself. Learning to reduce stress dramatically with the powerful method of Autogenic Training is an important part of his vision of Whole Person Medicine.
In addressing the needs of the whole person, psychological issues are very important to Dr Kaplan. To help people improve their relationships, create new relationships and get more out of their work, he uses Provocative Therapy. This ultra-brief form of therapy or coaching provokes patients to come up with their own solutions to their issues - and enact them. Improved relationships may also contribute to improved physical health.
Brian became a doctor because he wanted to work with people and make them feel better – physically and psychologically. A six-year programme at medical school taught him a lot about medical science but working with people has been a life-time journey for him. He has studied Classical Homeopathy and written a book on the subject, The Homeopathic Conversation, (Natural Medicine Press 2001I)
Since qualifying as a doctor in 1980, Brian has continued to be passionate about learning about medical tools that empower people to get better and feel better about themselves.

I have been consulting Dr Brian Kaplan for about 6 months now as i seek to learn the relaxation technique called Autogenic Training. I learnt it about 20 years ago over a weekend and last year i was working through it again. The initial training was over a weekend and was useful but i felt I needed a one-to-one approach spaced out over several months. This would allow me to gradual build up my skill and knowledge in AT. I chose Dr Kaplan as he is a doctor and also an AT practitioner. I don't live in London but as Dr Kaplan was very experienced - he has been practicing AT for over 40 years, I felt he was the ideal person to guide me. I needed to meet in person and it worked out so well for me! I found Dr Kaplan to be the ideal person to guide me. He is very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic. It was obvious he was the right person as I could learn so much from him. I found the AT tuition a revelation and AT allowed be to work on becoming deeply relaxed. Dr Kaplan guided me through each phase and it was very pleasant and enjoyable - I have never felt so relaxed. I was excited to practice the new aspects of AT before the next visit. I thoroughly enjoyed the visits and the opportunity to draw upon the huge experience of Dr Kaplan. I still practice AT twice a day and feel the benefits of it. In summary I have found working with Dr Kaplan to be a very positive experience and I would recommend both he and also Autogenic Training to everyone. AT needs greater public awareness as it could benefit so many people!
It was very enjoyable as we discussed other things apart from any symptoms and I think it enables Dr Kaplan to understand what is actually troubling me.
Dr Kaplan’s knowledge and expertise is in my opinion superior to any GP or holistic professional I have spoken to. Highly recommended.
Dr Kaplan is a most attentive, kind and gentle homeopath with a delightful sense of humour. He makes one feel better as soon you spend time in his presence. I feel truly fortunate to be one of his patients.
Dr Kaplan is a caring physician who is attentive and listens deeply. He brings positive uplifting energy underpinned with his knowledge base about medicine.
Outstanding practitioner. I saw Dr Kaplan for a homeopathic consultation - I value his experience as a medical doctor who is able to draw on his medical experience as well as his homeopathic experience to treat me
I find Dr Kaplan to be a thoroughly professional and pragmatic practitioner. Consultations are thoughtful and his recommendations clear. I consider Dr Kaplan as my “go to” doctor and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to others.
I first met Dr. Brian Kaplan in 1996. Over the years he has been an amazing family doctor and homeopath to myself and my husband and my children. His medical knowledge, kind manner and brilliant counselling and advice has been a great support over the years. His use of provocative therapy is so interesting too. I could not recommend him more.
An exemplary practitioner, who looks at the whole person and not just the symptoms
I have been seeing Dr Kaplan for nearly 40 years. I have always found him deeply compassionate. He is also very humorous! My last visit in July 2024 was transformational. I have recommended him to many people over the years and will continue to do so.
