Experience transformative acupuncture with Attila Gilányi, BSc (Hons) trained at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine.
His work integrates Five Element Constitutional Acupuncture with Traditional Chinese Medicine — allowing him to treat both emotional–energetic imbalances and physical conditions with precision and depth.
With over 15 years of clinical experience in manual therapy and Chinese medicine, Attila combines academic-level training with classical lineage refinement through his ongoing Daoist Acupuncture Apprenticeship.
His treatments go beyond symptom relief — addressing the root causes of pain, stress, hormonal imbalance and nervous system dysregulation.
Whether you are experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, hormonal issues or digestive imbalance, Attila’s multi-lineage approach offers highly personalised, safe and results-driven care.
What to Expect During
a 60-Minute Session
A 60-minute session with Attila is calm, focused and deeply restorative. From the moment you arrive, the treatment is tailored to your current state — not just your symptoms.
Using refined diagnostic skills and precise point selection, each session works to release tension, regulate the nervous system and restore internal balance. Patients often describe a profound sense of reset: clearer mind, lighter body, steadier energy. This is acupuncture delivered with depth, precision and presence.

Postgraduate Daoist Acupuncture Apprenticeship
London College of Acupuncture & Natural Medicine (Currently undertaking)
To deepen his skills beyond his BSc (Hons), Attila is now training in a traditional Daoist Acupuncture Apprenticeship, a rare and highly respected postgraduate programme taught through a classical lineage approach.
Unlike modern institutional training, this apprenticeship follows the traditional Eastern method of passing knowledge directly from master to student — focusing on precision, personal guidance, energetic sensitivity and real clinical skill.
What this apprenticeship adds to Attila’s practice
✔ Lineage-Based Transmission of Skills
Knowledge is passed directly from experienced practitioners, preserving classical techniques from:
-
Daoist traditions
-
Tung lineage acupuncture
-
Classical Chinese Medicine
This gives Attila access to systems and methods not taught in standard acupuncture degrees.
✔ Deep Clinical Competency
Many acupuncturists leave formal training feeling underprepared for real clinical challenges. This apprenticeship is designed to fill those gaps by offering:
-
Intensive hands-on learning
-
Technical refinement
-
A dedicated apprenticeship clinic for real patient treatments
✔ Internal Cultivation & Self-Development
A unique aspect of this training is inner cultivation — the internal practices that help a practitioner develop clarity, sensitivity and presence.
This includes:
-
Self-enquiry
-
Energetic awareness
-
Personal development as a healer
This inner work enhances Attila’s ability to create profound healing shifts for patients.
✔ A More Complete System of Acupuncture
By integrating:
-
Five Element acupuncture
-
TCM acupuncture
-
Tung acupuncture
-
Classical Chinese Medicine
-
Daoist cultivation practices
…Attila is building a comprehensive, multi-lineage skillset that makes his treatments both precise and deeply effective.
