Face to Face

Doreen enjoys helping people discover what is missing in their lives and how to take back control by working towards achievable goals.

The most rewarding part of the Human Givens framework is the ability to be able to make a real difference to people's lives.

My aim is to offer you a safe and comfortable space in which you feel able to talk about the difficulties you are facing, gain fresh perspectives, and identify new strategies to help you recover your wellbeing as quickly as possible.

With over 20 years practice as a midwife, birth trauma therapist and IVF Counsellor, I am passionate about giving effective help to women and men experiencing anxiety and grief from infertility, pregnancy loss and birth-related trauma.

HG therapy can make a huge difference to people who are struggling through this fundamental life stage,

NHS referrals and private clients are accepted.

Video consultations are available - in-person appointments are available if local.

Thirty years ago I joined St. Leonard's Hospice as a volunteer befriender. It was the start, of my career in counseling and psychotherapy.

I am a human givens therapist with a background as an NHS midwife, private antenatal educator and hypnobirthing practitioner. I have specialized in birth trauma, depression and anxiety for parents and healthcare professionals, but am currently expanding to specialize in addiction and bereavement. I will take NHS referrals and am based in Horsham for face to face clients, however, I will also accept online clients. I also have an enhanced DBS which allows me to work with adolescents.

I trained and worked as a medical doctor in the NHS for over the past 23 years, specialising as a GP.  I was also an academic researcher and Senior Clinical Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen where I taught mental health to senior medical students. I have extensive and varied experience of working with a wide range of mental health problems in a variety of settings within the NHS including general practice, accident and emergency departments, and in psychiatric departments. I have experience of mild psychological distress to severe debilitating mental health crises. I am now trained and currently working as a psychotherapist

Specializing in good sleep, insomnia busting, stress management & anxiety, I am a Human Givens Therapist and Counsellor.

I am not accepting clients at the moment.
