About Dr Sonia Tsukagoshi
Dr Sonia Tsukagoshi is a qualified GP with a background in surgical training with almost 20 years of clinical experience, now specialising in preventative health, longevity, and integrative medicine. She works with patients seeking clarity, support, and practical strategies to optimise their health, whether navigating a new diagnosis or proactively managing long-term wellbeing.
Her approach is whole-person and evidence-based, blending conventional medical care with personalised lifestyle strategies, nutrition guidance, and integrative practices such as yoga and mindfulness. She empowers patients with clear, actionable steps to feel stronger, healthier, and more in control without unnecessary medications or gimmicks.
Through services such as Diagnosis Companion consultations and Health Mapping, Dr Tsukagoshi provides structured, personalised assessments and guidance, helping patients understand their current health, plan for the future, and take practical steps toward lasting wellness.
In addition to her clinical work, she has extensive experience in education, mentoring, and international collaboration. She has contributed to the WONCA European Young Family Medicine Movement, a European network supporting new and future general practitioners, and annually teaches high school students in Japan on social justice and the importance of wellbeing.
She is particularly passionate about supporting midlife professionals to navigate health challenges with confidence, using a grounded, science-led approach that combines modern medicine with holistic care.

Frequently asked questions
Why do you do what you do?
I began my career in surgical training, but quickly realised I was only ever seeing a fraction of someone’s health story. As an NHS GP, I valued the role deeply but found the 10-minute appointment model left little space for the bigger picture. Moving into private practice allows me to practise medicine as I believe it should be: whole-person, prevention-focused, and truly collaborative. My approach combines evidence-based medicine with the time and care patients deserve - empowering them to understand and manage their health, with medication used thoughtfully and only when needed.
What are the common symptoms that your patients tend to present with?
Many patients come to me following a new diagnosis, feeling they haven’t had enough support to understand the impact on their life and next steps or feel that they’ve been offered medication too early without exploring alternatives. Others come with general concerns about their long-term health and risk of disease. To meet these needs, I offer:
- Diagnosis Companion: a structured way to unpack new or complex diagnoses, helping patients understand their results and options
- Health Mapping: a proactive, personalised assessment of current health and practical steps to protect future well-being
What are the treatments that you're able to offer your patients?
My role is to bring clarity, strategy, and trusted support. This can include targeted blood tests, imaging, and onward referrals to trusted professionals such as physiotherapists, nutritionists, or personal trainers. My focus is always on sustainable change - personalised lifestyle strategies that reduce risk, improve quality of life, and build long-term health.
What are your areas of sub-specialist interest?
I specialise in preventative health, longevity, hormone health, and integrative medicine. My approach blends conventional evidence-based medicine with complementary practices such as meditation, yoga, and nutrition - helping patients make confident, informed choices that align with their values and long-term goals.
