Our Head of Practice is David James Lees, a fully qualified and insured traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, hypnotherapist, counsellor, NLP Master and Qigong Master, and a registered member of the British Acupuncture Council.

After graduating from Birmingham City University with a Postgraduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, David worked for a short period as a Relate counsellor before training in Acupuncture (BSc Hons, Lic Ac.) at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading. He subsequently gained qualifications in hypnotherapy (GQ HYP) and NLP (NLP Master).

David has a lifelong interest in Taoist philosophy and Qigong. He gained teaching qualifications in Qigong meditation and healing in Beijing and was ordained as a Taoist Master in the sacred Wudang Mountains under the guidance of Master Wan Su Jain from the Chinese Taoist Medical Qigong Baguaxundaogong Headquarters.

David's teaching and client work are his passion. As well as his day-to-day acupuncture patients, who come to him for treatment of bad backs, aches, sprains and pains, David also specialises in helping clients with emotional issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, worry, anger, guilt etc., all of which can also manifest themselves in a range of physical health problems.

Over his years of professional practice, David has developed a unique method of 'combined therapy', integrating his Chinese medicine, counselling, personal coaching, hypnotherapy, NLP, healing and meditation skills, to rebalance and support an individual's emotional and physical health.

David's proven success with a wide range of patients of all ages means he receives many referrals from GP's, as well as other counsellors and therapists. He is a trusted advisor and regular guest speaker on BBC radio on a range of health and wellbeing topics, and is currently writing a new self help book on Positive Thinking and Taoist philosophy...
