My name is Katy Bradshaw and I am a Brighton Acupuncturist with over 15 years of clinical expertise. I specialise in treating women’s health issues and chronic illness, providing in-depth care in a calm and supportive environment. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative and I offer generous appointment times that give you space to be heard, allowing us to look at your health as a whole, rather than simply treating individual symptoms. As a fully insured member of the British Acupuncture Council with a BSc in Acupuncture, I am committed to the highest professional standards. I am also a member of the Brighton Acupuncture Childbirth team.

Welcome…

Each person arrives in my Brighton Acupuncture clinic 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.

Every appointment 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.

How I can help

I specialise in treating women’s health issues and supporting people living with chronic and complex health conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of supporting women through the transitional stages of life. It is also perfectly suited to treating complex and chronic illnesses because it takes a person-centred approach, making connections between your physical and emotional health that might be otherwise missed. Acupuncture treatment supports you to manage symptoms, improve your quality of life and feel more resilient.

Women’s health: Fertility • menstrual health • pregnancy • postnatal recovery • perimenopause • menopause •

Chronic illness: ME/CFS • Long Covid • fibromyalgia • chronic pain • digestive health • headaches & migraines • stress and anxiety •

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.
