About The Clifton Practice

The Clifton Practice is a multi-disciplinary health and wellness clinic bringing together a diverse team of independent practitioners under one roof. The practice spans physical health, mental wellbeing, and holistic therapies, making it a versatile destination for clients seeking a wide range of support in one place.

On the physical health side, the practice includes physiotherapy and sports massage with Ellya Crosby, osteopathy with Jon Muscaty, and podiatry and chiropody with Michelle Targett, who also offers reflexology. For those drawn to complementary and Eastern approaches, Martin Genovese practises as a traditional acupuncturist and practitioner of Chinese medicine, while Lynn Travnikova offers therapeutic Thai massage and Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage. Relaxation and spa-style massage treatments are also available alongside deeper bodywork such as deep tissue massage.

The mental health and talking therapy offering is equally broad. Lindsay Hughes works as a counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor, Andy Streatfield provides cognitive behavioural therapy, and Dr Aaron Shaw practises as a clinical psychologist. Oliver Newton is a solution focused hypnotherapist offering both face-to-face and online sessions, using solution focused techniques alongside guided trance relaxation to support the brain and body to settle, recover and reset.

The Clifton Practice suits clients who want to access a range of trusted, specialist practitioners in one setting — whether they are looking for physical rehabilitation, talking therapies, holistic bodywork, or complementary health support.
