Acupuncture for Anxiety, Depression & Stress in Brighton

If you’re struggling with anxiety, low mood, overwhelm or chronic stress, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to cope with it on your own. I offer acupuncture for anxiety, stress and depression in Brighton, supporting your nervous system both emotionally and physically.

Many people search for acupuncture and anxiety because they want a natural, drug-free way to feel calmer, sleep better and regain balance. Whether your symptoms show up as racing thoughts, panic, constant worry, or emotional exhaustion, acupuncture can be a gentle yet powerful support.

How Acupuncture Helps with Anxiety & Depression

Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system, improving circulation, and supporting the body’s natural ability to self-regulate. It can be helpful for:

• Anxiety & panic attacks

• Low mood & depression

• PTSD & trauma support

• Stress & burnout

• Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Alongside emotional symptoms such as excessive worry, poor sleep, irritability and difficulty concentrating, anxiety often creates physical symptoms, including:

• Palpitations & shortness of breath

• Digestive upset (nausea, diarrhoea, IBS)

• Muscle tension, jaw clenching & headaches

• Dizziness, cold hands, sweating or trembling

(WHO, 2007)

Stress, the Body & Long-Term Health

Chronic stress doesn’t just affect your mind — it also aggravates many physical conditions such as:

• Migraines & tension headaches

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Hormonal imbalance

• Back and shoulder pain

(Clinical Evidence, 2007)

Acupuncture for stress and anxiety can help calm the fight-or-flight response, allowing the body to shift into a state where healing becomes possible.

Acupuncture Alongside Medication or Therapy

Acupuncture can safely be used alongside:

• Antidepressants

• Anti-anxiety medication

• Talking therapies

• CBT and psycho-education

It may enhance the positive effects of conventional treatment while helping reduce unwanted side effects (Courbasson 2007, Yuan 2007).
