About SueTwo complementary pathways to healing — used individually or together for the most complete therapeutic effect. Both are rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and adapted to your unique needs.
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points are understood to be part of the body's energy pathways (or channels); in modern terms, acupuncture influences the nervous system, shaping how the brain processes pain, stress and other signals.
By stimulating these points, acupuncture can "interrupt" unhelpful patterns in the body — such as hormone regulation, pain responses or stress pathways — and create a useful nudge towards recovery.
In this way, treatment can act as a conduit for change: supporting the body's natural ability to heal, rebalance and settle.
Fine, single-use needles are placed with precision and care. Most people find the experience deeply relaxing — often drifting into a restorative rest. From pain and hormonal health to anxiety and digestive concerns, acupuncture offers a grounded approach to lasting wellbeing.
Acupuncture Treatments
Chinese herbal medicine can be used as a standalone treatment, or alongside acupuncture to help build on the work you and I do in clinic.
Each formula is chosen for you as an individual, looking at your symptoms, your overall health, and how things change over time. Unlike conventional medicines, which often focus on managing a specific symptom or diagnosis, Chinese herbal medicine takes a broader view — aiming to support the whole person and address root causes alongside the symptoms.
When professionally prescribed, Chinese herbal medicine offers a gentler, more personalised approach than conventional treatments, with formulas regularly adjusted to suit your needs and minimise unwanted effects wherever possible.
Chinese herbal medicine can be used alongside acupuncture to support your treatment between appointments and help build on the work we do in clinic.
About Herbal MedicineYour body has an incredible capacity for change. My role is to help support that change, one step at a time.
Common Reasons People Come for Treatment
Whether you are dealing with pain, stress, hormonal changes or ongoing health issues, treatment is tailored to you.
I came to see Sue with chronic back pain and a significant problem with acid reflux. Both have improved enormously. She is thorough, professional and a very good listener. I would recommend her very highly.
— Patient, BarnsleyI was sceptical about acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine but decided to try it for a long-standing menstrual problem. After just a few months of treatment I had seen such an improvement in my symptoms. I have no hesitation in recommending Sue.
— Patient, DoncasterI came to Sue feeling exhausted and anxious. I have really benefited from the treatment — I feel so much better, more energised and less anxious. I am sleeping better too. Highly recommended.

I trained at the Northern College of Acupuncture, graduating with a first-class BSc (Hons), and I'm a fully registered member of the British Acupuncture Council.
Chinese medicine has been part of my own life as well as my professional training. That experience shapes how I practise: with empathy, care and a focus on what each person actually needs.
I use acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, bodywork, guasha, cupping and lifestyle advice to support the whole person — not just the symptoms.
My role is simple: to listen, understand and guide you towards better health in a way that feels personal, practical and right for you.
