I have been practising as an acupuncturist for over 25 years, and am one of the founder members of New Cross Natural Therapy Centre. I am a practitioner member of the British Acupuncture Council.

My training has covered various approaches to acupuncture and I use them as appropriate.

This includes eight principle acupuncture (TCM) and five element acupuncture. I have a special qualification in acupuncture for children. Several years ago I visited China and worked in a hospital in Nanjing.

As well as working in New Cross, I have worked for twenty-four years in a General Practice in Sydenham and for ten years in a General Practice in Nunhead. These posts are funded by the NHS. I also work from my home in East Sussex.

For the past six years I have volunteered for two weeks every year for the charity Healing Hands treating war victims in Bosnia. I also volunteer for the Helen Bamber Foundation treating torture victims with acupuncture.

I am a director of the New Cross Natural Therapy Centre.
