Phoebus Tian sees clients at Roscop Practice on Beauchamp Place, within walking distance of South Kensington and Knightsbridge stations.

The private setting is suited to people who value discretion, unhurried assessment and a clear, individualised treatment plan.

An independent practice

Care that makes room for the whole picture.

I’m Phoebus Ye Tian, an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner with formal training in China, experience in hospital orthopaedics, and a background in university teaching.

Many people arrive with more than one concern: a long recovery, changing symptoms, fertility treatment, sustained pressure, disrupted sleep, or a pattern that has resisted simple answers. My work begins by listening carefully and establishing what matters now.

Areas of support

Focused care, without reducing you to a list of symptoms.

How acupuncture works

  1. 01

    Pain & recovery

    A considered approach for people navigating persistent discomfort, rehabilitation or the return to everyday activity.

  2. 02

    Stress & sleep

    Individualised support when sustained pressure, poor sleep or a difficult period of change is affecting how you feel and function.

  3. 03

    Complex long-term patterns

    Time and attention for situations that do not fit neatly into one label, with clear review points and a wider-care perspective.

How I work

A clear process. A calm pace. Treatment with intention.

No two treatment plans are identical. The structure stays consistent so that expectations, decisions and progress remain clear.

  1. 01

    Listen and assess

    We begin with your priorities, relevant history and the wider context—not assumptions based on a diagnosis alone.

  2. 02

    Treat with intention

    Each session is adapted to what is clinically appropriate that day and explained in clear, practical language.

  3. 03

    Review honestly

    Progress and fit are reviewed at agreed points. Treatment is adjusted, paused or supported by referral when needed.

The standard of care

“Professional authority is earned through attention, consistency and knowing when another form of support is needed.”

Privacy by default. Your information and treatment are handled with discretion.

Explanation without theatre. Recommendations are practical, proportionate and clear.

Collaboration where useful. With your consent, care can sit alongside medical, physical or psychological support.

Two professional pathways

For referring practitioners and thoughtful partners.

Professional referrals

Clear communication, consent and continuity.

For doctors, physiotherapists, psychotherapists, nutrition professionals, private medical teams and concierge health services seeking a considered acupuncture referral route.

Retreats & partnerships
