Before becoming an acupuncturist, I spent many years working as a professional musician. My own experience with tinnitus and hyperacusis — and the difference acupuncture made to me — eventually led me to retrain.

Patient Reviews
I first saw Ben for help with severe nerve pain caused by a prolapsed disc compressing a nerve in my back. I hadn't found anything that would relieve the pain, but Ben was able to help me manage it while I waited for surgery.Ben’s approach is very different to acupuncture I had tried before. His treatments are much more intentional and precise, and are always focused around my specific needs at the time of each appointment.Ben is incredibly empathetic, kind and reassuring. He helped put me at ease during a very difficult and painful time. I’ve continued to see him during my recovery following surgery, and I’ve found his treatments really helpful.I’m very grateful for the care Ben has given me and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture. He takes the time to understand your needs and makes you feel in very safe hands.
I highly recommend Acupuncture West London. I experienced great care from Ben. He really helped me during an intensely stressful time, boosting my body and aiding its recovery. He’s kind, knowledgeable and really makes you feel cared for.
This review is long overdue, sorry Ben!I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. I first went to see him during an incredibly difficult period last year, when I was struggling with severe anxiety and had developed some very unpleasant physical symptoms, including tinnitus.The acupuncture made a real difference to how I was feeling. I would leave appointments noticeably calmer and more settled, and over time I began to feel as though I was finally turning a corner. At a point when I felt completely overwhelmed and as though I was losing myself, my sessions with Ben helped me feel grounded again and played a very real part in starting me on the road to recovery.Ben is also an exceptionally kind and compassionate person. He went above and beyond to support me when I was really struggling, in ways I will never forget. I always felt that he genuinely cared about how I was doing, rather than simply treating me as another patient.I will always be enormously grateful for the care and support he gave me during one of the hardest periods of my life. He is a wonderful practitioner and a genuinely lovely person, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
I am extremely grateful to Ben for the treatment of pain related to the nerves in my face causing huge discomfort when trying to eat or even talk.
Ben is an excellent acupuncturist. He’s a keen and attentive listener, both to my words and my pulses which have him oftentimes pinpoint issues I’m having difficulty in clarifying. He has helped me immeasurably over the last several years.
I am thoroughly grateful to have found Ben and can't recommend him enough. I'd had no experience of acupuncture up until 4 weeks ago but Ben is so knowledgable, genuinely wants to help people and goes above and beyond - I instantly felt in safe hands. He explains everything he is doing and answers any questions - tailoring sessions to give you the best benefit. My treatment is ongoing but I'm very confident Ben will get me better!
The fourteen months before l found Ben were hell. Sciatica along with two herniated discs and arthritis meant l was living with terrible pain. l couldn't sit down . Just perched on a barstool.Ben set to work and things started to improve but he didn't think l was improving fast enough and thought my problems were being exasperated by inflammation. He put me on the Ileocecal valve diet ,a five week programme basically eliminating foods known to cause inflammation.Alongside this, weekly acupuncture and massage of the ileocecal valve.After the five weeks l was a different person . The relieve of being able to walk down stair sproperly, not one step at a time, to feel like doing things again .....it was amazing. l am 74 and have multiple back issues but Ben keeps me going with monthly top up acupuncture. l can't sing his praises enough . Thourougly recommend.
Having seen various pains and problems immediately disappear after a session together, i can”t recommend Ben enough.
I have been seeing Ben for many years now. He is absolutely amazing. Accupuncture is my go to before I see the GP.Ben has helped me so much over the past few years. I highly recommend him.
Helpful, knowledgeable and professional.I would highly recommend the Acupuncture clinic
I have been seeing Ben for a year and a half and I have noticed some excellent results from having treatment with him. He is always very professional and explains everything he is doing and what he is feeling. Would highly recommend. I always look forward to my sessions!
Ben is clearly very knowledgeable and professional and is excellent at listening and tailoring each session to your needs.I would highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Ben’s services to anyone who is curious about acupuncture. Since my first visit to the clinic I have not only seen an improvement in symptoms of a specific ongoing health condition but also a general improvement in my mood and wellbeing.
I have been to see Ben on multiple occasions and would highly recommend him. I have seen him for specific injuries but also to help with feeling calm and relaxed, and in both circumstances I have left feeling 100 times better than when I walked in. The clinic is quiet and calm and there is usually easy parking in the street opposite.
When I start treatment it my leg very dark colour and swollen feetAfter three treatments much much better now no swollen I feel very better I believe this treatment better than any other treatment
I started seeing Ben to address my persistent lower back and neck pain and migraines. He is very approachable and knowledgeable of Chinese acupuncture. He talked me through his plan of action and took detailed notes of medications, points 9f soreness and pain, and kept referring back to what we had covered in previous sessions and ongoing feedback from me to inform the continued treatment. His work managed to help desensitise my over-sensitised nervous system which, in turn, helped reduced pain flare-ups which was my goal. Localised needle application helped relief pain and stiffness and after close to 2 months, I'm now going to continue with fortnightly sessions for maintenance of symptoms and hope that, together with osteopathy and lifestyle changes, my persistent pain will become more manageable. I highly recommend Ben as an acupuncturist without hesitation.
Couldn’t recommend Ben more highly. I have been seeing him at the practice for 3 months so far and my symptoms have massively improved. I was suffering with hayfever a few sessions ago and his insights and treatment helped with London’s pollen
Ben is really great and has helped me immensely. He’s very friendly and explains everything he’s doing clearly - highly recommend to both those new to acupuncture and those with precious experience.
Better late then never..... I had acupuncture done in 2021/ 2022 after having two miscarriages. At first we were dealing with my migraines, I did see a reduction in my migraines, then Ben helped me throughout pregnancy. He was always lovely and gental and would talk me through what he was doing. I believe accupunctire helped throughout my pregnancy. I would definitely recommend Ben.
I am so glad I found Ben. He is not only hugely knowledgeable but also an instinctive practitioner. So much has changed/aligned/healed/released for me since I started seeing him. I highly, highly recommend his practice.
Ben was a very safe, caring and informative practitioner. It was my first experience of acupuncture and I already notice symptom shifts and would certainly recommend!
Super helpful, thorough and professional - comes highly recommended! Very happy with the results.
I contacted Ben in July 2024 about the possibility of acupuncture delaying the inevitable impact of Diabetes Type 2 Neuropathy in my feet and legs. I've had 17 treatments to date and find them very relaxing. The condition is incurable so I'm certainly not expecting a miracle, simply containment for as long as possible. Ben has a relaxing and friendly couch-side manner and I enjoy drifting away for the 30-minute 'relaxation period'. So far, so good!
I've been seeing Ben for acupuncture for some time now, and I'm always impressed with the experience. Ben's expertise and specialised knowledge have really made a difference in my well-being. Each session is tailored to my specific needs, and I've noticed real improvements. Ben is also great at explaining the treatment and sharing helpful information about my symptoms. I highly recommend Ben and Acupuncture West London for anyone looking for professional and effective acupuncture care.
I have now had 5 sessions with Ben and so far they have been a welcome moment of calm in my day. He is very gentle and understanding and tailors each session to specific issues that have come up that week. He is very willing to explain his approach and what he thinks would be a good plan of action. I have started noticing some shifts in my overall anxiety levels since I have seen him and I look forward to seeing more changes. Very grateful, Thankyou !
I’ve been seeing Ben for acupuncture over the past few months, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I initially came in with a painful jaw from clenching at night, and Ben has been a game-changer for me. His treatments have not only alleviated that pain but have also helped with my anxiety, aching shoulders, and back.From the moment you walk in, Ben’s professionalism and genuine care are evident. He takes the time to listen and understand your concerns, tailoring each session to address your specific needs. His approach to healing is holistic and effective, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my overall well-being.If you’re struggling with pain, stress, or just want to enhance your general health, Ben is the acupuncturist to see. His expertise and compassionate care have made a tremendous difference in my life.Thank you, Ben, for everything you do!
I've never reviewed somewhere on google before but I feel compelled to as it may help someone else struggling with TMJ who is considering acupuncture.For 3/4 years I had monthly flare ups with my jaw that left me with excruciating jaw and face pain. Even when I would numb myself with painkillers my jaw would be frozen meaning I could only eat liquids. I saw doctors, physiotherapists, osteopaths and had minor temporary relief but overall I was still suffering. When someone suggested acupuncture I was sceptical but had nothing to lose.Ben took such care in getting a thorough understanding of my pain and body functioning as a whole. He put together a plan focussing on my gut health to compliment our sessions.I saw him for 6 consecutive sessions in September and have only been back to him once in January of this year. 10 months with only one flare up is such an incredible result and I'm so grateful. Knowing that when I detect a flare up starting I can go and see Ben is such a comfort. I cannot recommend him more highly for a life changing outcome!!
I’ve been working with Ben Carrigan for a couple of years regarding an ongoing health issue. I find Ben both very professional and very sensitive. He has greatly helped me re-establish balance in my system. I find his explanations very useful as they help me understand the body-mind connection. He has an excellent intuition: last time when taking my pulse as usual he was able to sense (through the energy in my body) an important shift that was occurring in my life even before I started to talk about it. The ensuing treatment and Ben’s explanations were very helpful. I would highly recommend Ben.
Ben has been wonderful in helping me with my fibromyalgia. He is so kind, patient, attentive and caring and has been instrumental in helping me get on top of the condition. He always explains what treatment he is carrying out so I fully understand what is happening to my body. He is determined to find the right treatment for you and is truly dedicated to helping his clients in their recovery. I don’t know what I would have done without him! Don’t hesitate to go and see Ben if you are having any issues - you won’t regret it!
I was thrilled to come across Ben in my search for health support. He's not only amazing at addressing my specific health issues, but he also makes me feel completely at ease in his welcoming space. Ben's attentiveness and willingness to listen really stand out, and he offers valuable guidance beyond just the acupuncture session. I can't recommend Ben enough.
I have been having acupuncture treatments with Ben who is calm, knowledgeable & professional & whom I cannot recommend more highly. His treatments have helped my various health issues and more recently his treatment of my frozen shoulder has been nothing short of miraculous.
I would definitely recommend the Acupuncture West LondonBen is Very knowledgeable.Always accommodating.Takes time to explain what he is doing, the session have been effective, as I have noticed change in my water intake and eating habits which was a problem before so thank you Ben for improving my quality of life.
Highly recommend Acupuncture West London for pain relief and rehabilitation. I've been to many acupuncturists who could help with temporary pain relief, but this was the first where treatment led to demonstrable improvement in the underlying condition. Ben is a great practitioner to work with.
Ben is very knowledgeable! After one session my back spasms had completely disappeared, I now only see him rarely just to keep on top of any slight niggles, honestly couldn’t recommend his practice enough!
Ben has been helping me for over 2 months with my severe flare of Ulcerative Colitis. Conventional medical teams were saying there are no further treatment options for me and recommending sub-total colectomy but a radical change in my diet and Ben's acupuncture have currently rescued the situation. I have seen a massive improvement and owe a lot of it to Ben's knowledge and treatment plan. He is very professional and compassionate and I would highly recommend his services.
I have had such a positive experience at West London Acupuncture; it was important for me to find a practitioner who was able to span both the western and Chinese medical models, as I have been fighting such a serious illness. Ben made all the difference as an adjunct to my hospital treatment, with a kind, reassuring presence and that rare thing, the ability to truly listen and tune in. Getting feedback from him always gives me a fresh perspective. I got a lot more information about the Acupuncture treatment than other practitioners have given me in the past too, which improved my confidence and understanding of the processes. I can’t recommend Ben enough; he’s someone you can really trust and very skilled in his field.
Ben has been absolutely wonderful in helping me with my headaches. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Ben provides a great service, and is really good at explaining acupuncture to someone new to it. I was put at ease and achieved some great results.
Ben is a kind, compassionate and deeply knowledgeable practioner who has remarkable intuition when it comes to the practice of acupuncture. I've been attending sessions to manage various mental health concerns and associated physical symptoms, and Ben has been able to translate these issues into specific treatments, adapted week by week based on where I'm at. He understands the importance of going slowly and working with the body - particularly important for anyone with trauma. Very much recommended, especially for skeptics :)
Wonderful experience. Great listener and interested in helping solve my long term issues.
I have been seeing Ben weekly for the past few months to support with a number of different issues and can highly recommend him. He is calm, measured and attentive, always listening to what is happening in the body and in life that week, and how to best tailor the treatment accordingly. Highly recommend him to anyone that is considering acupuncture to support with a variety of different treatments and medical challenges.
I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Ben!!! He helped me so much during my recent trip to London. I had come off a 12 hour flight from California and about five weeks in from a horse fall to my tailbone. Needless to say, I spent the first night crying in my hotel room and finally googled an acupuncturist. Ben’s name came up with amazing reviews and I saw him a couple days later and then kept booking treatments during my week. He helped me so much and really got me all healed up. I can’t thank him enough and I’ll be seeing him again when I’m in London.Thank you so much again, Ben!!
I went to Ben for daily headaches and anxiety disorder.Other health issues I have:Digestive issues (15 years +)PsoriasisPCOSDry EyesI have had 5 sessions and am still currently receiving treatment but the progress so far is:Anxiety - immediate significant improvementHeadaches - improvement (however i do think they may be psychosomatic so am reading John Sarnos again)Dry eyes - CUREDGenerally i feel so much better in myself, i have more energy and theres so much more space and movement in my body, i am over the moon with the results. As the treatment is on going i can not yet comment on digestion as it has been a long standing issue and so i imagine will take some time, however Ben is working on it so Im confident it will improve and am hoping to see an improvement in my psoriasis and PCOS along with it.I will definitely continue to see Ben for as long as he practices as he’s changed my life!
Ben's acupuncture is absolutely incredible! It was my first time experiencing acupuncture and Ben made the whole experience incredibly rewarding with his calm energy and professionalism. I would highly recommend going if you have any pains or migraines, but also if you just want an overall boost in energy and mood. I would definitely recommend to anyone. 10/10 service!
I have been an advocate for acupuncture for some 20 years. I use it for its many health benefits but mainly to bring myself into balance. Ben Carrigan at Acupuncture West London has always delivered an excellent treatment based on what problems I have arrived with. He takes the time to listen and gives you the reassurance you need in order to feel relaxed and enjoy the treatment. He then lets the needles do the work!I can highly recommend Ben as an acupuncturist and thanks again for all those amazing treatments.
I've been suffering from "invisible" mobility issues, and constant pain in my upper and lower back/shoulder due to an untreated slipped disc in my C-spine from approximately two years ago, and have had limited results from Physio/Osteopathy. I recently decided to try acupuncture, and whilst it hasn't entirely rid me of pain or discomfort (I wasn't expecting such!) I have been pleased with the results overall. In addition, my visits to the practice are always very relaxing, and I've been consistently treated with kindness, compassion and respect. I'll continue visiting Ben as a result. Thank you!
I was referred to Ben by someone I know who thought acupuncture could be of assistance to myself, having never done it before I attended with an open mind and it’s been a great help.I did a session every week for 5 weeks and now do one every month. Ben is brilliant, he understands the body and mind extremely well, by having an open conversation before each session he is able to help with exactly what is needed. I couldn’t recommend Ben and the practice highly enough.
I started acupuncture with Ben more than a year ago and I have been very pleased with the treatment. Ben helped me go through some health issues and he always listens and gives advice. Highly recommended.
I have been visiting West London Acupuncture Clinic under the guidance of Ben since August 22 due to suffering with Trigeminal Neuralgia Type A for the past 2 1/2 years and having undergone a number of procedures including radiotherapy all of which were unsuccessful and I now have been advised that this is a condition that will remain with me for the life.I will be honest, at first I was sceptical having never used acupuncture before however any assistance with the pain I would take my chances. Ben took his time in managing my condition, carefully listening to my symptom's and how I generally felt at the time while explaining how acupuncture can help and I can honestly say that within 6-8 sessions I felt a vast improvement and 6 months on I am now able to managing my pain due to regular visits with Ben while having a much improved quality of life, and those who suffer from this condition will relate to this.100% highly recommend Ben and his Clinic for those sufferers with Trigeminal Neuralgia or any other pain related injuries.Thank you Ben for all you have done and continue to do for me.DavidAged 47
I have been working closely with Ben over the last few months in my recovery from Fertility treatment. He is a lovely person and has really taken the time to understand my symptoms and support me holistically. I would definitely recommend Ben.
Ben is so friendly and kind and explains what he is doing and how the acupuncture works. As a practicing reflexologist I was very interested to know of the overlap with our holistic care and have had interesting chats with Ben about Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I find his treatment sessions very relaxing and they have really helped with the insomnia issues I was having. I highly recommend a visit.
The positive impact Ben Carrigan has had on my health has been extraordinary. I have multiple chronic illnesses, (at one point it was so bad I was bedridden for over a year). The impact has been so positive that I've been able to ditch all of my pharmaceutical medications and I'm now well enough to re-engage with a Crossfit PT and pick up my weight training again. And the new found energy I have found has been incredible. (My flatmate had only known me as a sick person and since working with Ben she has said "You no longer look like a sick person".What I love about working with Ben is that he really listens, he has that he understands that the body needs to be healed holistically and has a strong understanding not only of Eastern Medicine, but also modern medicine as well (he understands when I explain things my specialists have tested or said/done).But most of all I love the fact that Ben is an instinctive healer. They are rare, all the books and training in the world can't create that ability.I would (and regularly do) recommend Ben to anyone that wants to their body to be given the best chance to heal itself.
I cannot recommend Ben more highly. A thoughtful, empathetic practitioner, who's diagnosis and treatment has really helped me . A very positive experience.
Ben is absolute magic ✨Having tried everything to deal with PCOS and barely scratching the surface of managing my symptoms I decided to look up acupuncture, I read lots of data on it and lots of reviews. I was still sceptical, but decided I had nothing left to lose at this stage. I was going to leave no stone unturned in my search for dealing with my symptoms because I just couldn’t imagine spending the rest of my life feeling the way I did.Within 2 sessions, I’ve managed to receive my cycle at 21 days with a better flow, my previous 2 cycles were both 40+ and non existent. I haven’t had a healthy period like this since I was a teenager! My anxiety has reduced massively, my skin is starting to clear up too. I can’t wait to see what changes happen in the coming months.Ben is really knowledgeable and calming. He was able to pick up on things I did not expect him to at all!I would recommended acupuncture with Ben to anyone! & it was definitely worth travelling over an hour to get to, the reviews speak for themselves. Thank you Ben!
I’ve done 18 sessions with Ben and I am super happy with the results. Ben starts with a hypothesis and corrects the approach depending on how the body reacts. I’ve tested many acupuncturists beefier in multiple countries and Ben’s approach so far was the best. I saw the first results after 4-5 sessions (more energy, less stress, +20% HRV as tracked with Oura ring). I also came to Ben with a very specific health problem and I got significant improvements (again, tracked all the numbers and performed regular testing). I only stoped working with Ben because I relocated to another country.
I was traveling around Europe recently and developed something called trigeminal neuralgia , the pain was sharp and constant and preventing me from enjoying my long awaited holiday . I began a treatment of acupuncture with Ben Corrigan and I felt the benefits straight away , with consultations 2 or 3 days apart to begin with . Ben explained every step of the treatment in a very eloquent and reassuring manner , he had a clear plan of action and was confident he would be able to help me . I can’t speak highly enough of Ben’s competence in acupuncture and I am pleased to say that in just over 2 weeks he helped me get better, end the pain and get my energy level back to where it was. I am so grateful to his knowledge and his practice as I had seen other specialists previously who didn’t give me any results . Thanks Ben , you deserve a 5 star review .
Due to awful headaches, jaw pain and feeling generally very stressed, I booked a series of appointments and since then, have felt so much better. 100% would recommend, it has helped me greatly!
Ben is not only very professional but puts you totally at ease. He has helped me a lot particularly after I got Covid. I felt absolutely shattered and low mood. By the next day I felt back to my normal self with much more energy. He has also helped with digestion problems. I highly recommend seeing Ben.
I started acupuncture with Ben a couple of months ago after suffering from migraines and a slipped disc. Ben took the time to get to know me and really assess the symptoms, taking a holistic approach and I couldn't be happier with the results! Ben is professional and friendly - I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone.
I really look forward to my weekly acupuncture sessions with Ben. He listens carefully to how I am feeling and what I need, and I really feel that he cares about my well-being. He has a soothing, calming manner. I always leave our sessions feeling relaxed, and have noticed an improvement in my overall health. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering acupuncture, and even those who aren’t!
Ben has a fantastically calm manner, he is someone you immediately trust. He understands what you need and what you don’t know you need! He has helped completely cure a 3yr tendon problem as well as work on my overall wellbeing. I am very grateful I found his practice and have already recommended him to several friends.
I cannot recommend Ben at Acupuncture West London enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, warm and friendly. The pain in my hip and lower back caused by sciatica has disappeared thanks to my sessions with him. The sessions have also worked on the emotional level, as well as the physical, and I experienced some profound healing through emotional release. I have also noticed my energy levels increase too. I would absolutely recommend visiting him. (:
Fully recommend Ben’s services as an acupuncturist. Great service and very relaxing! Ben has helped myself, my wife and even our 2 week old baby. He has a great bedside manner and really takes the time to explain. He goes above and beyond and is so flexible in accommodating appointments.
Ben is an experienced and caring practitioner. He literally gave me back my body agility. And he treated also specific pain points or problems. Very professional and knowledgeable with a true concern for his patients.
I can highly recommend Acupuncture West London. I have been a regular patient of Ben who has helped me greatly and continues to do so. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he is always happy to try and accommodate. I completely trust him with my Heath and well-being.
I couldn't be happier with my experience thus far at Acupuncture West London. Ben is a very talented and intuitive acupuncturist who really listens to you and your body. I have been going for a month or so and can already see a huge improvement in my health and anxiety.I would recommend Ben to anyone looking into acupuncture.
Ben is professional and passionate about what he does. I've been going for acupuncture with him for almost a year and have been really happy with the results. His acupuncture treatments have been effective in treating me for everything from allergies, immune system boosting and low energy levels.
I came to see Ben with some fairly severe and life limiting migraine and Menieres symptoms. After 5 weeks of acupuncture, massage and a special diet I am almost completely symptom for the vast majority of time. Also if I am symptomatic at all it is at a very low level when compared to before the treatment. Ben is great and I would highly recommend him personally and also the practice as a whole.
Ben is a very knowledgeable and passionate acupuncturist whom I recommend to all my friends and clients! I have been going to his practice consistently for a year now and have never felt better.
Ben's service and ability are beyond a 5 star rating. With every treatment he takes the time and precision to understand what the client needs, and how best to treat them. He himself has a calming energy that takes away any anxiety associated with this type of treatment. As a fitness instructor I've seen Ben for various issues ranging from sports injuries, to psychological blocks. I've had no hesitation recommending him to clients of mine with similar issues. I recommend Ben's service to anyone who is looking for an effective way to better their health.
1st class service, felt at ease and relaxed as soon as I walked in. It was my 1st time getting acupuncture done and it was totally pain free and quite relaxing.
I first went to see Ben with a very specific muscular issue that I wanted to resolve. However after a really in depth consultation talking about more than just muscle pain Ben took a different approach for which I’m incredibly grateful. As is often the way the symptom is very rarely the cause! I have now been working with Ben for a few months and feel so much more improved. He has been infinitely patient, considerate, sensitive to my needs and adapted his treatment depending on what he found on the day. If you want to improve your wellbeing, see a practitioner that’s really going to take the time to listen and not dish out the same treatment to every patient then please do go and see Ben. You won’t regret it. Thank you Ben!
Ben Carrigan has been an excellent professional in providing regular Acupuncture treatment for me. I came to Ben with a long term medical condition which has caused me ongoing pain problems and a long term use of pain killers and anti inflammatory medication. Ben has successfully removed my dependency on medication by reducing inflammation and improving my all round health / body function. I can highly recommend Ben’s treatment to others.
Ben has helped me manage back and neck issues ranging from acute sciatic pain down to the general stiffness and aches from poor posture and spending too long at a desk. Sometimes it has taken several treatments, often just a single one, but Ben has always managed to bring the relief from pain and give the freedom of movement that was required, and so is my first port of call when I feel something is wrong. I highly recommend him.
Ben is a fantastic practitioner who is very thorough and professional. He has helped me regain strength and energy after a severe bout of Covid. I always feel at ease in the sessions due to his friendly nature and explanation of what he is doing. He has also taken the appropriate measures to make his practice Covid-safe. I would definitely recommend him!
I cannot recommend Ben highly enough. I went to see him in desperation for a facial nerve problem that was very debilitating. He managed to totally clear the problem in just a few visits. Ben is very professional and knowledgeable and I won't hesitate to seek his help for any further problems!
I started seeing Ben around 9 months ago, as a last resort. I had tried everything from going to the doctor, dentist and a chiropractor and was still having real pain with my jaw locking for hours on end. Through treatment with Ben, the pain has pretty much gone and I have not had a jaw locking episode in a long time. I am also much more aware of my triggers and the causes of my symptoms. Ben is a true professional, he is respectful, puts you at ease and listens with intent. I would recommend Ben to anyone regardless of your symptoms, as I fully trust he would find a way to help you through, tackling your issue with forensic detail and providing good humour at the right moments.
I first had acupuncture treatments with Ben last summer after being diagnosed with Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and an autoimmune condition. I cannot emphasise how much he has helped me, the changes I have felt since having regular sessions are amazing and it just continues to get better! Not only has Ben helped with these physical issues but also stress related ones too, I always finish my sessions feeling so relaxed and refreshed. I truly cannot thank Ben enough for all he has done so far, the time, effort and energy he puts into his work does not go unnoticed and I couldn’t recommend him more. I truly don’t know what I would do without Ben’s help, his sessions are worth their weight in gold and he is always so lovely and welcoming and we always have a good chat and laugh (I’m also not scared of needles anymore!)
I started acupuncture with Ben last summer, to help address some complex issues I had been experiencing. Ben has helped me so much, and words can't describe how much change I have been seeing whilst going to my frequent appointments! His work is very thorough, and I constantly see results. I genuinely couldn't live without the sessions! Not only does he help me with internal issues, but helps to regulate my high levels of stress, around my exams and deadlines for work. I always leave my sessions feeling much better, and less stressed! I cannot thank Ben enough for all that he does for my health and I always have a wonderful chat and a laugh! Thank you so much Ben! See you on Tuesday 😁
Ben is absolutely fantastic! Highly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I’ve noticed a massive improvement in my sleep and muscular pain since I started coming here. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier acupuncturist!
Seeing Ben was my first experience of acupuncture. He was recommended to me and I have been pleased to have had two sessions so far, and plan to book more. Ben is clearly experienced and thorough and listens well. I felt in good hands and would definitely recommend him to others.
I went into acupuncture not knowing what to expect, but I am so glad I found Ben. Over the past few months, his expertise has helped me tremendously with my physical and mental health. Beyond his impressive knowledge of the body, Ben is incredibly kind and understanding, which made me feel comfortable right away. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great acupuncturist!
I started visiting Ben over a month ago concerning my migraines. He was extremely thorough in taking my medical history and pin pointed a hitherto unknown cause of my migraines. Since he began treating me my migraines have steadily improved and I am confident that they will soon be a thing of the past. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ben, he is extremely knowledgeable and competent.
Ben has been helping me with a fairly uncommon issue, and I’m very grateful for the care and dedication he’s shown. I really appreciate the effort he puts into researching ways to support my condition. After four weeks of treatment I’m already noticing improvements, which gives me hope I might be able to avoid surgery. I highly recommend Ben and his lovely practice.
Ben is a very knowledgeable acupuncturist. During my treatment, Ben explained everything clearly. I went for help for both acute and chronic health conditions which were recurring and the treatment I received particularly helped with the acute abdominal discomfort I have been experiencing.. I continue to receive treatment for Uterine fibroids. I have received dietary and probiotic treatment and advice alongside my Acupuncture.
I started seeing Ben during my breast cancer treatment - he has been an invaluable help throughout. I have felt relaxed but also reassured by Ben's knowledge and I know I am in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Ben to anyone thinking of adding a complimentary therapy to their cancer treatment!
Ben is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. I highly recommend acupuncture with him at his lovely practice in Liphook.
I am really enjoying my sessions with Ben. He has helped me so much with my energy levels and anxiety issues during protracted withdrawal from SSRI's and generally. Ben has a great understanding of acupuncture and my sessions are very relaxing, however it is the time in between sessions where I notice a huge difference in my well being. I would highly recommend Ben, his approach and calm manner really make acupuncture a enjoyable experience and the results are outstanding.
Ben is a great acupuncturist- he is hugely knowledgeable and informative and has helped get to the root cause of my symptoms . He also has a very kind and caring manner which aids relaxation. I thoroughly recommend him!
