A Note From Dr Aleks
During my clinical training, I saw just how significantly hay fever and chronic allergies could impact someone's quality of life — physically, emotionally and socially. Many patients described feeling perpetually unwell, with their symptoms affecting everything from their sleep quality to their ability to enjoy outdoor activities.
Allergy care requires more than symptom relief. It calls for a deeper look at your immune system, your environment, your habits and the specific patterns behind your flare-ups. We aim to control your symptoms now and give you tools to stay ahead of your triggers in the future. With the right care, many people can manage these conditions, even during peak allergy seasons.

Understanding Hay Fever and Allergies
Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is an immune response to environmental allergens. When your body mistakes harmless particles like pollen or dust for threats, it triggers an inflammatory cascade designed to flush them out. This immune overreaction causes the classic symptoms, such as sneezing, nasal swelling and congestion.
There are two main types of allergic rhinitis:
- Seasonal, which flares during specific times of the year when certain pollens are in the air
- Perennial, which can persist year-round due to constant exposure to indoor allergens
Allergic symptoms are not limited to the nose. They can affect your eyes, skin, respiratory system and even your energy levels. Many people don’t realise how closely allergies are connected to other conditions, including asthma, eczema, chronic sinusitis and sleep disturbances.
