FAQs
Most people feel very little, often just a light tap or a warm, tingling sensation. Many patients feel deeply relaxed, even sleepy. The needles I use are extremely fine and gently placed to support your nervous system, not overstimulate it.
Does acupuncture hurt?
What conditions can acupuncture help with?
I specialise in stress-related symptoms including anxiety, overwhelm, overthinking, sleep issues, tension, low mood, hormonal imbalances, and digestive problems. Five Element acupuncture also supports emotional wellbeing and overall balance.
What if I don’t like needles or feel nervous?
Totally normal! I work slowly, explain everything, and check in with you throughout. You are always in control — if something doesn’t feel right, we adjust. Many needle-nervous patients end up loving the sessions because they feel so relaxed.
Do you combine coaching with acupuncture?
Yes. Alongside the treatment, we explore your emotional patterns, triggers, beliefs, and Five Element tendencies. This gives you a deeper understanding of yourself and helps you create calm in everyday life. Many patients say the coaching is what finally makes things “click.”
What should I wear?
Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal. Don’t worry about if you’ve shaved your legs.
What will I feel after acupuncture?
Most people feel calmer, clearer, and lighter in their body. Some feel energised; others feel ready to rest. If your body is releasing tension, you may feel emotional for a short time, this is normal and part of the healing process.
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes. Acupuncture is a regulated, safe, and natural therapy when performed by a trained practitioner. I follow strict hygiene protocols, use single-use sterile needles, and tailor every treatment to your individual needs.
I am registered with the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA), which means I meet nationally recognised standards of safety, training, and professionalism.
How do I know if this programme is right for me?
If you’ve tried to manage your anxiety or stress on your own and still feel stuck… if you want to understand yourself on a deeper level… and if you’re ready for consistent support instead of quick fixes — this is made for you.
How long is the programme?
The programme runs over 12 weeks, giving your body and mind enough time to make meaningful, lasting changes.
You’ll have weekly sessions, personalised acupuncture, coaching, and ongoing support throughout, so you’re never navigating the process alone.
Is there parking available?
Yes — there is free parking available right outside the clinic. There is also free on street parking, making your visit easy and stress free.
