Acupuncture for stress and anxiety

Hi, I’m Becky and I’m passionate about helping people to live life to the full, whatever hand they’ve been dealt. I truly believe that we’re here to seize opportunities, to follow our dreams, to keep developing at all ages, and to contribute to something bigger than ourselves.

I understand that the biggest obstacle to this can be poor health, stress or anxiety, or a mind and body that isn’t doing what you wish it would. Life can easily start to feel small, stuck and so, so tough.

And so, through years of experience and education, I’ve crafted a portfolio of treatments that help and heal, and I’m so proud of my clinical achievements and the lives they’ve transformed.

I’m a no-nonsense life sorter - realistic, approachable and practical. But I believe in the “magic” too - the wonder of energy and the power of our subconscious. And I combine these to give you the very best of both worlds.

I’m here to help make things possible...

I’ll be your practitioner, your mentor, your advocate, your support.

I’ll help you navigate the overwhelm and confusion, share tools and tips to get you back in charge, and create the safe space you need to offload and just be.

Working with Me

When you work with me, you’ll get:

Bespoke plan

A bespoke treatment plan, just for you

There’s no one-size-fits-all here. I’ll create a bespoke treatment plan just for you, tailored perfectly for your needs, not just your symptoms or diagnosis.

Everything you need

Everything you need

I’m skilled in both TCM and Five Element acupuncture, clinical hypnotherapy, relaxation and breathing techniques, Tui Na and bodywork, targetted nutrition, supplement and lifestyle advice as well as other holistic health protocols. It’s everything you could need.

Excellence

Expertise, experience, excellence

I’ve been doing this since 2008 and, if I say so myself, I’m great at what I do. I pride myself on my standards and the knowledge I have to help you navigate these complex conditions. And I’m passionate about always honing my skills, regularly training with the UK’s leading tutors.

Guide & Mentor

Your guide and mentor

I love to share knowledge and help people to help themselves. I’ll guide you through practical tools and tips so you feel back in charge - and wow that’s so empowering after struggling with a body and mind that hasn’t been doing what you want it to.

Achievable

Achievable action without the overwhelm

But I understand that you’re probably feeling confused and overwhelmed right now. So I’ll meet you where you are and we’ll work in a methodical, achievable way, building your capacity as we go.

Santuary

A sanctuary

Fertility issues, stress & anxiety, health conditions - they are all relentless and draining. Not everyone gets that, but I do. I’m here to give you the support and understanding you need, a safe space to offload and switch off. Our time together will be a sanctuary, where you can regroup and recharge.

My Approach

I am a TCM and Five Element acupuncturist, using TCM’s strengths to optimise physical and mental health, whilst tapping into the gifts for the Five Elements to bring people back to themselves and flourish on an emotional level.  I’ve honed these skills with advanced training in fertility, gynaecology and obstetrics acupuncture - complex areas that need this deep understanding and enhanced skillset to deliver results.

And I’m an experienced clinical hypnotherapist, helping people to shift the stuff that’s holding them back and release the fears, phobias and behaviours that don’t serve them anymore.

Everything I do is supported by holistic health protocols, targeted nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle advice as well as tools such as relaxation and breathing techniques and tui na and bodywork.

I’m the practitioner for you if you’re...

  • Eager to work with a natural health expert to help you conceive - whether you’ve been trying for ages, you’re just starting out, or if IVF’s in the diary (oh and ideally, if there’s a male partner, that they’re willing to come for treatment too)
  • Fed up of your body working against you, with hormone and gynae conditions like Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), previously known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, period problems, as well as perimenopause and menopause
  • Fed up of feeling sick and tired, held back by limiting symptoms and a body that’s not doing quite what it should
  • Determined to get back to being you - free from stress, anxiety, fears or phobias
  • Open to advice and guidance and willing to put the effort in. This is a partnership where we’ll both work hard to get you to where you long to be
  • Looking for someone to lead you out of the overwhelm and confusion, with practical, achievable steps (and where you’re not just a number, or a diagnosis)

I’m not the practitioner for you if you’re...

  • Expecting me to do all the work! I’ll be leading the way of course, but I’ll also be asking you to do your bit too
  • Not committed to the process. This isn't about quick fixes and for many complex cases, we’ll need to work together regularly, over time
  • Looking for guaranteed results or timescales. My work is bespoke to you as an individual and I can’t predict the outcome. What I can say is that you’ll feel positive change and you’ll know we’re heading in the right direction.

How I got here...

Many years ago, I was STRESSED! I had a busy PA job which I wasn’t enjoying and constantly felt like there was too much to do, in too little time. I started to develop a few health issues and I knew my stress levels were the root cause. And so I decided to try some acupuncture. Within a few sessions I was transformed - I was much calmer and resilient, able to take things in my stride.

I felt immediately drawn to acupuncture as a career option - it felt so aligned with the real me and I loved the idea of helping people to improve their health and wellbeing in such a holistic, meaningful way. And so I signed up for a degree in acupuncture at CICM, and I was on my way.

But then came the next stumbling block. I’d always had a fear of exams, and as my acupuncture exams got nearer, this worsened. Even if I make it into the exam room, I knew I wouldn’t be able to perform at my best. Someone suggested hypnotherapy to me and I decided to give it a go - what did I have to lose?

Wow, again the results were amazing - I couldn’t wait to get into the exam room to share my knowledge! I graduated with flying colours in acupuncture in 2008 and completed my hypnotherapy training in 2011.

Hypnotherapy for fertility

I work with both acupuncture and hypnotherapy because I passionately believe in their transformative powers and know the gifts they can bring. I’ve experienced it myself - and I see it every day in my clinic.
