About Alice Cousens
I am a fully trained acupuncturist with 15 years of experience and a member of the British acupuncture Council. I studied my acupuncture degree at the University of Westminster, and I also hold a Masters degree in Chinese herbal medicine. I have completed various post graduate trainings over the years and I am qualified in cosmetic/facial acupuncture.
I am also a professional surf coach, and prior to studying acupuncture I always had an interest in health and the body. After a profound personal experience of acupuncture and feeling its transformative power firsthand, I knew it was the path for me.
Since graduating I have worked in London where I set up and ran a busy multibed practice, and now in private practice back home in Pembrokeshire. I have treated a diverse range of conditions in children and adults with very good clinical results.
Early in my career I worked as a volunteer acupuncturist in India and Nepal, where I also taught Chinese medicine, clinical skills and safe practice. During this time I treated many patients each day and saw a very wide range of conditions.
My Philosophy
Through my years of training and experience I have developed a deep interest in the bigger picture of each patients health, and how a compassionate approach can help unlock healing and transformation.
I practice in a patient centred way, listening and understanding where patients’ health problems are situated within the pattern of their lives.
This approach allows me to focus acupuncture treatment on addressing the symptoms and the root causes of health issues, and to support and work with patients in changing lifestyle patterns.
In this way acupuncture treatment can be used to maintain better levels of health at all stages of life. It can be helpful for acute problems, resolving long standing health issues and in slowing the progression of chronic illness.
In order to maintain excellent clinical and professional standards I undertake regular professional development and am committed to excellent standards in my practice.
