KATY BRADSHAW ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture in Brighton
for women’s health, chronic illness and wellbeing
Whether you’re living with pain, struggling with your hormones, navigating fertility treatment, recovering from illness or simply feeling that your body isn’t functioning as well as it should, acupuncture offers an individual approach that treats you as a whole person rather than a collection of symptoms.
At my Brighton acupuncture clinic, I combine over 15 years of clinical experience with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach to help you better understand your body, alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Welcome…
My name is Katy Bradshaw, and I practise trauma-informed acupuncture in Brighton. I specialise in treating women’s health and chronic illness. I’m a fully qualified acupuncturist and British Acupuncture Council member with over fifteen years’ clinical experience.
My role isn’t simply to treat symptoms. It’s to understand the whole picture. Every appointment in my Brighton acupuncture clinic is an opportunity to explore the connections between your physical health, emotional wellbeing and lifestyle so that together we can create a treatment plan that’s tailored to you.
Throughout my career I’ve completed extensive postgraduate training in women’s health, pain management, trauma-informed practice and adolescent acupuncture. I continue to undertake regular professional development so that my patients benefit from safe, evidence-informed care that complements conventional medicine.
Every person arrives with their own story. Whatever has brought you here, my aim is always the same: to understand what’s happening, help you make sense of your symptoms, and support you in feeling more like yourself again.
Katy’s extensive experience is clear as soon as you meet her. However, it is Katy’s compassion and intuition that make her such an exceptional practitioner. Katy put me at ease from the very first session, taking time to listen and explain why symptoms or emotions are happening. Thank you for being so fantastic and for having such a positive impact on my health and wellbeing.

A different approach to your health
One of the things my patients often tell me in my Brighton acupuncture clinic is that this is the first place they’ve felt heard. Every person who walks through my Brighton clinic door arrives with a different story. Listening carefully to that story is where meaningful treatment begins.
I know that symptoms rarely exist in isolation.
Pain affects sleep. Poor sleep increases anxiety. Hormonal changes influence mood. Chronic illness can affect work, relationships and confidence. The body doesn’t separate these things, so neither do I.
Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a whole-person view approach, looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms. Combined with trauma-informed care, treatment is gentle, collaborative and personalised to your individual needs.
I don’t believe health is simply the absence of disease.
It’s waking up with enough energy for the day ahead.
Sleeping through the night.
Having a menstrual cycle that doesn’t dominate your life.
Feeling able to spend time with family without worrying about pain.
Trusting your body again.
These are the things I help my patients work towards every day.
Alongside acupuncture, we may also explore practical ways to support your health through sleep, stress management, movement and lifestyle. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s helping you make realistic, sustainable changes that support your wellbeing over the long term.
My areas of expertise
WOmen’s health
Women’s bodies change throughout life, and each stage brings its own challenges.
In my Brighton acupuncture clinic I support women with fertility, IVF, pregnancy, postnatal recovery, menstrual health, endometriosis, PCOS, menopause and hormonal wellbeing through personalised acupuncture treatment.
Chronic illness
Living with a long-term health condition can be physically exhausting and emotionally draining.
Whether you’re living with Long Covid, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, digestive disorders or another ongoing condition, acupuncture in my Brighton acupuncture clinic can sit alongside your medical care to help manage symptoms, improve resilience and support your quality of life.
Everything you need to know before your first acupuncture appointment
Trying something for the first time can be daunting and it’s completely normal to have questions.
- Does acupuncture hurt?
- What happens during the first appointment?
- How many sessions will I need?
- How much does treatment cost?
I’ve created a dedicated New Patient Hub to answer the questions I’m asked most often in my Brighton acupuncture clinic and help you feel confident before your first visit.
How does acupuncture work?
If you’re considering acupuncture for the first time, you may be wondering exactly what it is and how it works.
Traditional acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years and is used today alongside conventional healthcare to support a wide range of physical and emotional health conditions. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, because no two people experience illness in exactly the same way.
If you’re curious about the principles behind Traditional Chinese Medicine, how acupuncture works, or the evidence supporting it, I’ve explained more here.

She’s incredibly thoughtful around your issue, has a wealth of experience to draw from and tackles the issue head on. A true expert!
