Looking beyond the symptom.
You may come to acupuncture with one particular concern, but the consultation considers more than the symptom in isolation. My approach draws on integrated Chinese medicine, incorporating both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element acupuncture.
Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at patterns across different aspects of health. Depending on what brings you in, this may include sleep, digestion, energy, temperature, menstrual and reproductive health, pain, headaches, stress and emotional wellbeing, alongside your medical history.
Tongue and pulse diagnosis also form part of the assessment. This information is considered through the diagnostic frameworks of Chinese medicine. TCM pattern differentiation helps identify patterns within your presentation, while Five Element diagnosis provides an additional perspective on your constitution and individual presentation. Together, these findings help me formulate an individual treatment strategy.
Several seemingly unrelated symptoms can form part of the same clinical picture. Treatment is therefore based on your individual presentation rather than a standard protocol for a diagnosis.
What can I help with?
You don’t need to know which treatment you need before you come.
People seek acupuncture for many different reasons, and sometimes for several concerns at the same time. Explore some of the areas I commonly work with.
✧ Hormonal & menstrual health
Irregular or painful periods, PMS, changes to the menstrual cycle, PCOS, endometriosis, perimenopause and other concerns relating to menstrual and hormonal health.
✧ Fertility & reproductive health
Support while trying to conceive naturally or alongside assisted reproductive treatment, including IVF, as well as preparation for conception and reproductive health concerns.
✧ Stress, sleep & emotional wellbeing
Stress, difficulty switching off, disrupted sleep, fatigue, headaches and symptoms that appear or become more pronounced during periods of emotional or physical strain.
✧ Skin & facial health
Facial and skin concerns including changes in texture, fine lines and the appearance of certain types of scarring, with Facial Enhancement Acupuncture and Microneedling offered as distinct treatment approaches.
✧ Pain, headaches & muscular tension
Musculoskeletal pain and tension, headaches and migraines, neck and shoulder tension, back pain and other persistent or recurring areas of discomfort.

A different kind of care
Good treatment starts with having enough time to understand what is actually going on.
Your first acupuncture appointment allows 90 minutes for a detailed consultation and treatment. We’ll discuss the reason you’ve come, but also the health history and other symptoms that may be relevant to understanding your presentation.
I’ll explain the Chinese medicine findings that are informing your treatment and, where appropriate, how different symptoms may relate to the pattern I’m seeing. You won’t be expected to understand Chinese medicine terminology or work out which treatment you need before you arrive.
Treatment is reviewed rather than simply repeated.
At follow-up appointments, we’ll look at what has changed since your previous treatment, what hasn’t, and anything new that may be relevant. Your treatment can then be adjusted according to your response and current presentation.
My practice is rooted in integrated Chinese medicine, incorporating both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element acupuncture, while remaining informed by contemporary healthcare and the wider evidence base.
