Listed Londoner

Available for over a year

Gerad Kite is an acupuncture master and psychotherapist with more than 30 years experience. He trained in the late 80s in the midst of the AIDS crisis, after recognising a need for alternative treatments. In 1993 he started the first NHS acupuncture service at Kings College Hospital, predominantly working with people with AIDS. It was in 2005 that he opened his own clinic, in Marylebone, where he’s a long-time resident. In recent years he’s become a recognised leader in the field of infertility. Gerad Kite reveals his favourite haunts, memories, pet hates and everything in between with Robert Elms.
