About Us
A professional yet personal approach to working with our patients.
The Sussex Osteopaths has been helping people feel and move better since 2014. We provide high-quality, exceptional care for our patients from our two clinic locations, in Uckfield and Buxted. Our Uckfield clinic is located within Freedom Leisure Centre at the top of Uckfield town. It is easily accessible from Uckfield and surrounding areas, Crowborough, Maresfield, Newick, Buxted and Nutley, although we have patients from all over East Sussex.
Our Buxted Clinic is run from our Garden office. Don’t let the fact that we built it ourselves put you off! It’s beautiful! Nestled in the heart of Buxted’s countryside, it’s the perfect peaceful spot to enjoy your osteopathic appointment! Both clinics have onsite parking. Our Uckfield clinic has disabled access.
Our Experience
Meet the team
Callum and Sophie are a husband and wife team who combine their knowledge and skillset with their passion for helping people. They both graduated with Masters degrees from The British School of Osteopathy (now known as the University College of Osteopathy) in London.
When they’re not treating patients you’ll find them hiking with their dog, enjoying a pub lunch or climbing a mountain. They both love skiing and travelling, but their favourite place to be is outdoors in the great British countryside.
They are both highly qualified osteopaths insured by and members of the Institute of Osteopathy and registered with The General Osteopathic Council. All osteopaths are required by law to be registered with the General Osteopathic Council.

Callum Gaterell
Registered Osteopath: 8700
Callum combines a structural and a functional approach to his treatments. His broad approach allows him to successfully treat patients of all ages, from infancy to pensionable age.
As an enthusiastic sportsman, Callum has first-hand experience with sports injuries and rehabilitation and can understand the frustration that an injury can cause. He has many years of experience treating athletes at the pitch side and uses an array of techniques alongside osteopathy, such as therapeutic taping, laser therapy and sports massage. These, combined with a keen eye for identifying compensatory mechanisms preventing an injury from healing, mean that Callum’s treatment aids recovery from injury and helps prevent future problems.
“I don’t believe in generic treatment plans or isolation of specific muscles, joints and ligaments. We are all different shapes, ages and sizes, with different demands placed on our bodies from varying jobs, sports and past times. I tailor each treatment to my patient’s specific needs.”
Callum Loves: Keeping fit, podcasts, meddling in the kitchen and any event with good food, music and good company.
Sophie Gaterell
Registered Osteopath: 8770
Sophie uses structural and functional approaches and is skilled at manipulation, articulation and soft tissue massage. She also likes to incorporate other modalities into her treatment, such as laser and shockwave therapy. Sophie loves the variety that her job provides. She enjoys treating patients from all walks of life, including those of the four-legged variety, as she has also undergone postgraduate studies in canine osteopathy.
Sophie prides herself on her patient rapport. Her aim as an Osteopath and primary healthcare practitioner is to make a positive difference in the lives of as many patients as possible. She seeks autonomy for her patients. Making sure that they feel in control of their health.
“I am passionate about the care of my patients. The aim of my treatment is to restore the body to its optimal function. I want my patients to walk away healthier, not just pain-free.”
Sophie Loves: Horse riding, photography, Harry Potter and gundog training and competition with their Labrador Enzo.
