A Brighton appointment. A Rottingdean setting.
Choosing acupuncture in Brighton begins with knowing where your appointment will take place and who you will see. Neijing’s Brighton clinic is on Falmer Road in Rottingdean, rather than in central Brighton. Tanya Menzies provides the appointments here. The address is Falmer Road, Rottingdean, Brighton BN2 7FR; confirm the exact arrival details when arranging your visit, particularly if you have not attended before. You can use the directions link below to plan your own journey.
A first enquiry does not need to be a detailed account of your health. Let Tanya know that you are interested in the Rottingdean clinic, whether you are new to acupuncture, and what you would like to ask. There is room at the consultation to discuss your history, current concerns and other care in more detail. If you have a particular preference, such as wanting to understand the needles before deciding, mention it at the outset.
The Brighton clinic’s Google listing shows Thursday opening hours of 9am–6pm. These are clinic hours, and an appointment still needs to be arranged and confirmed. The published initial appointment is 75 minutes at £60, followed by 60-minute appointments at £50. Check the current time, fee and appointment arrangements with Tanya before booking; an opening-hours listing does not mean every time within it is available.
Contact the Brighton clinicDIFFERENT TOOLS. ONE PERSONAL PLAN.
Acupuncture &
individual care.
Tanya’s acupuncture training includes classical and contemporary Chinese medicine. The approach used in an appointment follows a consultation and assessment, rather than a menu of techniques that everyone receives. Ask what is being proposed, what it would involve and which alternatives are available. Further training does not mean that every method is offered at every visit, so confirm the options when you enquire.
Acupuncture, explained before you begin
Acupuncture involves placing fine needles at selected points after discussing your history and carrying out an assessment. Tanya can explain the approach she uses, why particular techniques are being considered and what you may notice during the appointment. You can ask about the evidence and limitations relevant to your reason for seeking care. Tell her if you are uneasy about needles or would like a pause; deciding whether to proceed is part of the conversation.
Classical and contemporary approaches
Tanya practises Five Element acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Stems and Branches acupuncture. These are different approaches within Chinese medicine that inform her assessment and planning. The terminology can be unfamiliar, and you do not need to choose a system before making an enquiry. Ask Tanya to explain any traditional concepts in plain language and how they relate to the approach being discussed for your appointment.
Cupping and auricular acupuncture
Her further study includes fire cupping and auricular acupuncture incorporating the NADA protocol. Cupping uses suction on the skin; auricular acupuncture involves points on the ear. These are separate methods, with their own practical considerations, rather than automatic extras. Confirm whether they are available at Rottingdean and ask what each involves, including possible marks or unwanted effects, before agreeing to include it.
Discussing moxibustion
Moxibustion is a traditional method using heat from moxa, which is prepared from mugwort. Tanya lists it among her further training. If it is proposed, ask how the heat would be applied and whether it is optional. Mention concerns about heat, skin sensitivity or smoke before treatment. Our moxibustion guide gives an introduction, while your appointment is the place to discuss your own circumstances.
Your practitioner discusses suitability before treatment. Responses vary; acupuncture complements care and does not replace medical diagnosis, prescribed treatment or urgent attention.

Tanya Menzies.
Acupuncture, informed by a nursing background.
Tanya Menzies, Lic Ac, MBAcC, BSc, RGN, trained at the International College of Oriental Medicine, affiliated with Greenwich University. Her profile identifies her as a member of the British Acupuncture Council and describes a practice drawing on both classical and contemporary Chinese medicine. You can read the full profile to explore her training before contacting the Brighton clinic.
Alongside acupuncture, Tanya brings more than 25 years of experience as a Registered General Nurse. Her nursing background spans NHS and private healthcare, including cardiac care, high dependency units, orthopaedics and pre-operative assessments. It also includes caring for people with complex physical health needs and offering psychosocial support to patients and families.
Her continuing study includes musculoskeletal acupuncture, lower back pain, fire cupping, moxibustion and auricular acupuncture. Tanya also practises in Haywards Heath, so name Brighton or Rottingdean in your enquiry to keep the location clear. The appointment details on this page relate to this clinic, not the schedule or fees at another Neijing location.
Tanya Menzies’s full profileYOUR TIME, WELL SPENT
Your acupuncture
appointment.
The initial Brighton appointment is listed at 75 minutes and £60. Follow-up appointments are listed at 60 minutes and £50. Use the first consultation to discuss what you are hoping for, what your appointment includes and how you would review any changes. Before booking further visits, agree a suitable review point and discuss the cost and frequency. There is no fixed number of sessions that is right for everyone.
Initial consultation
Your first visit provides time for your history, an assessment and discussion of the proposed treatment. Bring details of medicines, existing health conditions and any other care. Confirm the appointment arrangements with Tanya and ask about anything you would like explained before deciding whether to proceed.
Follow-up treatment
A follow-up is an opportunity to describe how you have felt since the previous visit, including any unwanted effects or changes elsewhere in your healthcare. Tanya can review the approach with you. Ask whether the plan should continue, change or stop rather than assuming that another appointment is always needed.
The fees and appointment lengths above relate to Tanya’s Brighton clinic in Rottingdean. Confirm the current arrangements before booking.

Let’s talkYour first appointment, step by step.
Make the location clear
Tell Tanya you are enquiring about Rottingdean, Brighton. Check the address, date, length and fee together. If access arrangements or arriving at a particular time matter to you, raise them before confirming the booking so you can make an informed plan for the visit.
Bring the information that matters
Prepare a current medicine list and details of relevant diagnoses, investigations and other treatment. A brief note of the questions you want to ask may help. You can discuss your concerns in your own words; you do not need to translate them into Chinese medicine terminology.
Agree and review the next step
Ask about the proposed method, possible benefits and limitations, unwanted effects and alternatives. Discuss what you would like to review afterwards and how you will decide on the next step. You can bring questions about how the appointment fits alongside other care, and keep the relevant healthcare professionals informed.
PLAN YOUR VISIT
Arriving
prepared.
A little preparation. Time to settle in.
Plan for the published Rottingdean address, rather than treating the Brighton label as a central-city location. Check the directions and current travel conditions yourself, and ask Tanya about the final arrival details. If you need particular access arrangements, ask Tanya before confirming your visit.
Allow for the full appointment duration when making your own plans: the initial session is listed at 75 minutes and a follow-up at 60 minutes. If you have a time constraint, discuss it during booking rather than expecting the consultation to be shortened on arrival. Ask what clothing or preparation is appropriate for the method being considered.
You can keep the first enquiry practical: mention Brighton or Rottingdean, give a way to contact you and outline the questions you want answered. Save detailed medical histories and sensitive documents for an appropriate consultation process. Our general FAQs and aftercare guide may help you prepare questions, but the arrangements for your own visit should be confirmed directly.
