Acupuncture has been practised for over 2,000 years, rooted in the belief that the body, mind and spirit are inseparable, and that lasting health comes from treating the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
Five Element Acupuncture is rooted in ancient wisdom and supported by growing modern evidence. It works with the body's natural pathways, gently encouraging circulation, removing blockages in the natural healing response, and supporting the body's own capacity to nurture and repair itself.
I look for the deeper patterns behind how you're feeling, the emotional, physical and energetic imbalances that, when left unaddressed, show up as pain, fatigue, anxiety, hormonal disruption, poor sleep, or a general sense of being out of sorts.
If something doesn't feel quite right and you're not sure where to turn, this might be a good place to start.

I am a fully licensed Five Element acupuncturist, committed to a compassionate, holistic approach. I focus on treating the person as a whole rather than specialising in specific conditions which allows me to listen carefully and respond to the individual in front of me.
My journey into Five Element acupuncture began through my own experience of its supportive and transformative effects. Drawn to complementary therapies for many years, I retrained as an acupuncturist to share this work with others.
I completed a three year professional licentiate at The Acupuncture Academy (TAA), training in Chinese medicine and Five Element theory. My clinical year was spent under the supervision of a highly accredited practitioner in London, deepening both my practical skills and my understanding of the philosophy behind this work.
Since starting my practice, I have been continually inspired by the impact acupuncture can have particularly in helping people navigate stress, change, or emotional overwhelm. I am fully accredited and insured with the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), adhering to its Standards of Practice and Codes of Ethics.
Your first appointment is around 90 minutes. We talk through your health history, your main concerns, and your overall wellbeing. I take time to understand you as a whole person before any treatment begins.
Ongoing sessions are 45 to 60 minutes, tailored to your individual needs. Treatment works with the whole person, supporting harmony across physical, emotional, and energetic aspects, giving your body the space it needs to heal.
We review progress together at each visit, adjusting treatment as your body responds. Many patients see improvements within 4 to 6 sessions. Some continue with regular monthly maintenance.
"I have been meaning to try acupuncture for a long time and never got round to it, and if you are like me I would highly recommend Charlotte. Not only have I left feeling so relaxed and aware of my mental and physical state, but it almost felt like a therapy session! She was so gentle, explained everything really well and made me feel so comfortable. 10/10."
"I've been seeing Charlotte regularly for the past six months to help with ongoing back pain and menopause symptoms, and the difference has been truly palpable. Her treatments are always thoughtful, deeply grounding, and tailored to what my body needs on the day."
"I had been carrying so much stress and it was taking its toll on my body. Charlotte was absolutely amazing, listening attentively, asking relevant questions, answering mine and explaining everything clearly. I felt very safe and in good hands, and I could already feel a difference the next day."
