About Malou
Hi, I’m Malou (Xiao Chun Wang), a professional and confident Chinese acupuncturist based in Dublin city centre, with over 25 years of experience, both, in China and Dublin. I am also an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist.
Following three years nursing training, which involved studying Acupuncture and the use of Chinese herbs, I practiced as a Traditional Chinese Medicine nurse for many years in a hospital in Shanghai. I worked in the Department of Internal Diseases and the Department of Neurosurgery, where Western and Chinese Medicine are used in tandem in order to speed up patient recovery.
To be able to offer acupuncture treatment in Ireland, I underwent a further two-year study and gained a Diploma in Acupuncture from Shanghai Acupuncture College Ireland. In 2010, I went back to Shanghai to practice more clinical skills in the Gynaecology and Oncology departments at Yue Yang Hospital.
As an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, I am a proud full member of IACP. I am also a member of the ICEEFT. My therapeutic approach is humanistic integrative, which allows me to draw from a diverse range of theoretical frameworks to meet the unique needs of each client. These approaches include attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), client-centred theory, existentialism, Gestalt therapy, psychodynamic theory, family systems theory, and mindfulness practices. Additionally, I focus on Emotional Focus Therapy (EFT), which plays a central role in my therapeutic work. Whether working with individuals or couples, my aim is to foster harmonious connections within themselves and with their loved ones.

What is Chinese Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the ancient art of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which has been practiced for more than 3,000 years. According to the TCM system, the healthy body is balanced with Qi (vital energy) flowing freely throughout the body in specific channels and nourishing the organs. Acupuncture is particularly effective in pain management, anxiety, stress & panic attacks, depression, cancer care, asthma, bronchitis, stroke, headaches, sinusitis, gastrointestinal disorders (ulcers, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome), gynecological issues (menopause, PMS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menstrual cramps), obstetric concerns (infertility, pregnancy, postnatal care), and urinary and sexual problems. For further information on acupuncture treatment, please see conditions treated.
