Garden Clinic is a peaceful acupuncture clinic based in Acomb, York, created by experienced practitioner Alex Lochhead. Here you can find a welcoming, relaxing place to unwind and heal. This time is about you and helping you move forward. You are guaranteed confidentiality, safety, cleanliness and the experience of a full time British Acupuncture Association affiliated practitioner.
I booked in the first session and to be honest have not looked back. Alex goes about his job in such a professional way that is to the highest standard. His approach is relaxed, which in turn relaxes you. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone to try traditional acupuncture with Alex. It has and is a brilliant experience that you should try at least once and you will be surprised at how it can affect you!

I like to treat in a relaxed and friendly style, which helps put my patients at ease and enable us to make the most progress as quickly as possible. Everything we discuss is confidential. It is usual for a number of issues to be considered within your treatment plan, so please have a think beforehand and decide what we should work on together.
Priory Green is a quiet cul-de-sac just off the Boroughbridge Road in Acomb. This small, private York acupuncture clinic overlooks a mature garden filled with herbaceous plants, fruit trees and wildlife. Nature is integral to the theory of acupuncture treatment and the clinic's surroundings mirror this.
I'm Alex a York acupuncturist and I have been practicing acupuncture for fourteen years, originally training at the College of Traditional Acupuncture in Warwick. I qualified with a Bachelor of Arts Honours degree (B.A. Hons) in Traditional Five Element Acupuncture from Oxford Brookes University. My other qualifications also include a BSc degree in Biology and a Masters degree in Environmental Sustainability.
Here are a few frequently asked questions about Five Element Acupuncture that may help you to decide if it's for you. Advertising guidelines produced by the Advertising Standards Agency prevent specific conditions being mentioned in leaflets and on webpages.

During this session we can discuss your requirements in depth and undertake your first acupuncture treatment. At the end of this session we can decide if you need further treatment and whether these sessions be half an hour or an hour long.

Highly recommended. Acupuncture with Alex is helping me get a handle on a long-term condition, where other treatments have completely failed. As part of this, Alex is helping me to explore some mind-body connections, and how emotions and experiences impact physical wellbeing. I can feel significant physical, mental and emotional 'de-stressing' after each session. Extremely relaxing.

I have a lot of pain in my waist area, A friend of mine would suggest that I get acupuncture done immediately. I called Alex this morning to get acupuncture done. Alex told me "there are too many acupuncturists in York, I'm sure you'll find someone for today"
Thank you Alex you really helped. All my pain has passed.

A rigorous, professional, safe, empowering and health boosting experience.
As a qualified acupuncturist, I'm quite particular about who I let treat me. Alex has been my practitioner for over five years now. He takes care to help me and him get to the root cause of my health or difficult times which take their toll on your health. He sees everything as connected and applies a holistic five element approach which I love. That kind of treatment is simple, elegant and gets to issue without faff or unnecessary treatment. Alex will listen, support, challenge when it's needed but fundamentally he will

Had my first post lockdown appointment with Alex and was totally put at ease by the precautions he has put in place. It was clear his priority was my heath and safety. From having my temperature taken on arrival to the hand sanitisation and face mask provisions I actually felt more confident with the steps he had taken than the steps in place at my work. Yes I have to wear a mask all day because I work in a hospital but I certainly don’t have someone ensuring that I have sanitised my hands correctly and on hand to take my temperature. Alex undertakes cleaning and disinfecting after each client
