Services
Acupuncture
Traditional acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific points to balance energy flow. This ancient practice addresses chronic pain, migraines, and emotional conditions through natural stimulation of the body's healing processes. Patients report significant improvements in stress levels and physical discomfort.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations complement acupuncture treatments using time-tested Chinese medicinal ingredients. These natural remedies address digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, and immune system support through tailored granule prescriptions that enhance treatment effectiveness and accelerate recovery.
Fertility Support
Specialised acupuncture protocols improve reproductive health for both men and women. This targeted approach reduces stress hormones affecting fertility while enhancing blood flow to reproductive organs. Patients benefit from evidence-based techniques that complement modern fertility treatments and natural conception efforts.
IVF Support
Integrated acupuncture programmes optimise IVF success rates through stress reduction and hormonal balance. Regular sessions improve uterine lining quality and sperm parameters while providing emotional support throughout the assisted reproduction journey. This complementary approach follows evidence-based protocols.
Stress Management
Acupuncture treatments specifically target stress-related conditions by regulating the nervous system. This holistic approach addresses anxiety, insomnia, and tension headaches through natural endorphin release and improved sleep quality. Patients develop better coping mechanisms for daily stressors.

Questions
What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture effectively addresses chronic pain, stress, fertility issues, digestive disorders, and sleep problems. The World Health Organisation recognises its benefits for over 100 conditions including migraines, arthritis, and anxiety.
What happens during the first acupuncture session?
Initial consultations last 75 minutes, including detailed health assessment, pulse and tongue diagnosis, followed by treatment. Patients should bring medication lists and wear comfortable clothing for easy access to acupuncture points.
Do I need to take herbal medicine?
Herbal prescriptions are optional but often recommended to enhance treatment effectiveness. All herbal granules are professionally formulated and dispensed according to individual needs during regular acupuncture sessions.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary by condition. Most patients notice improvements within 2-3 sessions. Chronic conditions typically require 6-12 weekly treatments, while fertility support often continues throughout pre-conception and pregnancy stages.
Is acupuncture covered by insurance?
Private health insurance may cover treatments - check with your provider. The NHS does not currently fund acupuncture except for specific pain management programmes in some regions.
How does acupuncture support fertility?
Fertility acupuncture improves reproductive health by reducing stress hormones, enhancing blood flow to reproductive organs, and balancing hormonal systems. Regular sessions optimise natural conception chances and improve IVF success rates.

Report
I was recommended to have treatment from Paul by the IVF clinic I had received treatment from. He is frankly the best at what he does, a true fertility expert and is very good at putting you at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture for any medical ailment.

Report
Paul was professional and thorough with his approach. He was reasonable cost wise and made sure we did not book unnecessary and excessive appointments. A year after going to see Paul with the aim of having a child, our baby was born two days ago. The results speak for themselves. Those doubting acupuncture working as a treatment I urge you to give it a chance as we truly felt it helped us.

Paul has been a huge help in practically curing/massively relieving my peroneal tendonitis - within just a few sessions as well as massively relieving a badly bruised coccyx. A true professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I can't stress just how much I absolutely recommend Paul. Treatments are ongoing and will update further!

An excellent professional who has been the only one who has been able to solve a very bad skin problem and RSI in my arm. After just a few months the results are amazing. I would recommend to anyone.

I'd highly recommend Paul. Professional, supportive and I absolutely credit him with our pregnancy success after a couple of miscarriages and an irregular period cycle. Two sessions with Paul and I had my first ever 28 day cycle.
