Private acupuncture in Chelsea, with time for the whole picture.
Phoebus Tian is an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner at Roscop Practice on Beauchamp Place, close to South Kensington, Knightsbridge and the centre of Chelsea.
The location
An established clinical setting in central Chelsea.
Roscop Practice, Beauchamp Place.
Appointments take place at Roscop Practice, 33B Beauchamp Place, London SW3 1NU.
The clinic is positioned between Chelsea, South Kensington and Knightsbridge, near Brompton Road and Harrods. It is accessible for clients living locally, working in central London or staying nearby for a short visit.
Each appointment is private and one-to-one. New clients can choose a consultation before treatment, or a longer initial appointment that includes both assessment and acupuncture.

Your first visit
Unhurried, private, and explained as you go.
First appointments in the Chelsea clinic are deliberately long — up to ninety minutes for a consultation with acupuncture — because careful assessment is where good treatment starts.
The consultation covers your health history, current medicines, sleep, stress and what you want from treatment. Phoebus explains what he finds and what acupuncture can reasonably offer in your situation; if another practitioner or your GP is better placed to help, he will say so.
Treatment itself takes place on a comfortable couch in a private room. Only sterile, single-use needles are used, and most people find the experience deeply relaxing — many fall asleep. You will leave with practical guidance and a clear, honest plan with review points, never an open-ended programme.
The neighbourhood
On one of Chelsea's most distinctive streets.
Beauchamp Place is a short, quiet street of boutiques and restaurants between Brompton Road and Walton Street — Harrods is two minutes' walk in one direction, Chelsea Green and Sloane Avenue a few minutes in the other.
The location sits at the meeting point of Chelsea, Knightsbridge and South Kensington, which is why clients come from across SW1, SW3, SW7 and SW10: from Sloane Square, the King's Road and Cadogan Gardens; from Belgravia and Pont Street; and from the museum quarter around the V&A and Brompton Oratory.
Many clients combine an appointment with a working day in Mayfair or the City, school pick-ups in Kensington, or a stay at one of the hotels around Knightsbridge and Sloane Street. Evening appointments on Tuesdays and Fridays make treatment after work straightforward.
Alongside your medical care
Minutes from London's leading hospitals and clinics.
The clinic is within easy reach of the Royal Brompton Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, the Lister Hospital and the private medical practices of Sloane Street and Harley Street patients often use.
That proximity is practical: appointments can be arranged around hospital visits, physiotherapy or fertility-clinic schedules on the same day. More importantly, care here is designed to be complementary — with your consent, Phoebus communicates with your GP, consultant or fertility team, and treatment is reviewed honestly against how you are actually doing.
For fertility patients specifically, the clinic's location near the Lister Fertility Clinic and Chelsea and Westminster makes same-day coordination realistic. Read about fertility & IVF support.
