" He teaches as well as treats, and that shows in the way he explains things: precise without being cold, engaged without being a lot. By the time we’d finished talking, I understood more about how TCM actually works than I’d ever managed to gather from reading about it. "
Results-Focused Treatments Blending Japanese and Classical Acupuncture in Farnham
Symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Our bodies carry the imprint of how we live; shaped by physical health, emotional experiences, periods of change and the demands placed upon us over time. Perhaps you are living with persistent pain, navigating fertility, moving through stress or exhaustion, or seeking support alongside cancer, illness or a long-term health condition.
Featured in Vogue and The Times, my work draws on Japanese and Classical acupuncture, bringing together clinical experience with a deeply considered, compassionate and gentle approach. Rooted in more than 2,000 years of traditional medicine, acupuncture explores the relationship between Qi, the meridians, body, mind and soul; acknowledging not only what can be seen and measured, but the subtler patterns that influence our sense of wellbeing.
My approach is refined, subtle and deeply individual. Treatment is unhurried, creating the space to listen more closely to what your body may be expressing, whilst gently supporting restoration, vitality and a renewed sense of equilibrium.
As soon as I spent a little while with Josh, I knew that I had chosen the right acupuncturist for me! Josh is a good listener and has the elusive emotional intelligence that sets him apart.

Areas of Acupuncture Expertise
Acupuncture For Pain
Josh uses a combination of acupuncture, cupping, and massage therapy to address a wide range of conditions, including back pain, knee pain, tennis elbow, and more. Musculoskeletal pain are one of the most common reasons why people first try acupuncture.

Reasons Why Patients Come For Acupuncture
A Different View on Healing
If you’ve been struggling with pain or ongoing health issues and feel like nothing is working, acupuncture can offer a fresh perspective. It looks at the body holistically, identifying how most things are connected, and then, through addressing the “root” cause, improvements are seen everywhere.
Backed by Research
Acupuncture’s role in modern healthcare continues to grow. Organisations such as the NHS and NICE recognise it for conditions such as musculoskeletal pain and headaches, and a growing body of research explores its potential benefits for fertility, stress reduction, and overall wellbeing.
More Than Just Treatment, It’s Time for You
One of the things patients love most about acupuncture is the time and space it offers. Many patients describe it as “like therapy,” where they feel supported not just physically, but emotionally too. It’s a place to come back to, no matter what stage of life you’re in.
Calm Amidst the Chaos
Life is busy—balancing work, family, and daily pressures can leave you feeling constantly on the go. Acupuncture provides an hour or two to de-stress, recharge, and reset. Many patients say they leave feeling like a new person.
If you’re curious about acupuncture and how it could support your health, why not give it a try?
Mental Health Support
Patients describe acupuncture as akin to therapy. Many patients have emotional challenges ranging from anxiety, stress, and feelings of loss, to deep depression. Josh’s deep interest in mental health is also personal, shaped by the loss of friends to mental health struggles.
Gastrointestinal Complaints
As Josh found acupuncture through his experiences of having IBS, all gastrointestinal issues are one of his favourite things to treat in the clinic, as it's an area where he totally relates with patients. Our gut is our second brain after all.
Chronic & Complex Health
Josh’s journey into acupuncture began with his battle against nearly two years of chronic pain. Acupuncture addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain, offering relief and hope to those dealing with conditions like digestive disorders, long COVID, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
