Acupuncture Point Combinations for Mental Health

Date(s): 20 September 2025

Time: 10am - 5pm

Eligibility: Acupuncture graduates

Venue: College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading

This in-person, 1 day course at CICM builds upon David's online course in March 2025, looking at the role the Heart, Pericardium, and the Shén play in mental and emotional health, but this course can also be taken as a standalone day.

 

The in-person workshop on Saturday 20th September will be almost entirely practical. There will be some lecturer demonstrations, discussions and Q&A throughout the day. Learn acupuncture point combinations to support mental health.

 

This practical day allows you to have hands-on experience of acupuncture point combinations for the different mental health conditions. The practical day will also include some tuning forks and other modalities that David uses in clinic to treat the emotions.

 

At the end of these two workshops participants will:

  • Be more proficient in identifying the different types of depression and anxiety commonly seen in clinic.
  • Understand the various forms of diagnoses that can apply for depression and anxiety.
  • More confidently diagnose and treat patients with depression and anxiety.
  • Feel more confident treating patients with mental and emotional trauma; in particular, aiding them to find their inner joy and contentment.
  • Have a greater insight into the importance of acupuncture point combinations, as well as special point categories.
  • Feel like they now have the tools to construct their own acupuncture point combinations for patients with mental and emotional trauma.

 

David will be hosting the live one-day online webinar on March 8, 2025 from 9am-4pm GMT.
