Veterinary Pain Management Practitioner & Acupuncturist

​

Hi, I’m James.

​

After graduating from Bristol Veterinary School in 2014, I began my career in a small animal hospital in Banbury. In 2016, I returned to Bristol Veterinary School to complete a one-year internship in the Small Animal Referral Hospital before moving back to Warwickshire, where I have continued to work in coompanion animal practicex.

​

Early in my career, I developed a particular interest in the care of geriatric patients. I found myself increasingly drawn to helping older pets maintain their quality of life and supporting owners through often complex discussions around chronic pain management and mobility. This passion led me to complete my veterinary acupuncture training in 2022, allowing me to offer a more comprehensive and individualised approach to pain management.

​

In 2025, I established my own pain management clinic from a purpose-built garden studio at my home in Rugby. This dedicated space enables me to provide thorough assessments and tailored treatment plans in a calm, relaxed environment that is often more comfortable for both pets and their owners than a traditional veterinary practice setting.

​

Alongside my pain management work, I am the in-house veterinary surgeon at the Kenilworth branch of Dogs Trust, a role I have held since September 2024. There, I help care for the health and welfare of dogs awaiting their forever homes.

​

My aim is always to improve quality of life, whether that means helping an older dog stay active for longer, supporting a patient with chronic pain, or working with owners to find practical solutions that keep their pets comfortable and happy.
