About me

I am a Counsellor and Psychotherapist Practitioner and a Mental Health First Aider. Throughout our lives we often face challenging times and can lose focus on our situation leading to confusion and uncertainty, unsure where to turn, and occasionally just having additional support is all that is needed.

DKS Wellbeing Services offers a safe place for you to unburden those concerns, voice your fears, frustration and feelings, at your own pace in a confidential, non-judgemental, and relaxed environment in as few sessions as possible. Appointments are available Tuesday-Friday 8:30am – 7:30pm – Face-Face, online via Zoom, Teams or Skype.

As a Human Givens Therapist, I concentrate on issues that prevent us from moving forward, using techniques in a fast and effective way in providing quick relief from emotional distress, release those feelings of being stuck, address trauma in a quick and safe method and help to provide clarity and direction.

The thought of having therapy can feel a bit daunting at first, with fear of the unknown, but it is the first step to moving forward on your journey. One step at a time!

Testimonials

My time with Dora has been so instrumental to me getting well again. She is kind, patient, and the re-wind therapy she used was amazing, as well as showing me tools I could use alone in the future. I have not experienced any post-trauma symptoms since having rewind therapy. Dora gently and thoughtfully worked through everything with me, and I felt that I could share everything with her without judgement. I would recommend Dora without hesitation and am so grateful I was able to work with her.

Matilda, Ambulance Service (PTSD, Anxiety, OCD, Anger)

Thank you for all your help, I could not have gone on much longer. I now have purpose and meaning to carry on with my life.

Tom, Builder (Addiction)

I am a 62-year-old RAF Regiment veteran. I was having flashbacks and increased anxiety following a bad flashback experience in Belgium whilst on a WW1 tour. The background being I was blown up on an exercise in the North Yorkshire Moors in February 1978 and was diagnosed with Combat Stress in August 2008, anxiety, and depression.
I was trying to put a brave face on things, to those who saw me, but, in reality, I knew that the flashback I had had of being blown up, had affected me more than I admitted. I was seeing a lovely lady calked Dora, tin Downham Market, who introduced me to Human-Givens Therapy (HGT), I was pleasantly surprised by how it helped me, over six therapy sessions; to enable me to over those sessions overcome my anxiety and better cope with my PTSD and bad sleep to a more capable level. I know that if things start to get bad again, I have Dora, a haven I can go to.
