Doreen Luff

My therapy practice is client centred – I am first and foremost an approachable and empathetic practitioner.  I am knowledgable, non-judgemental, impartial, non-biased….and kind!

In relationship therapy I help individuals, couples and families to understand the root cause of  their problems.  Issues which occur frequently in the counselling room include arguing and bickering; communication; lack of closeness (emotional intimacy); infidelity and trust; step families.  Individual’s issues may include anxiety and stress – I am a trained Mindfulness practitioner and bereavement.   

With any sexual dysfunction, firstly together we will explore the problem, when it started and how it affects you.  Then I will explain how the programme works and, if you meet the criteria of those who will benefit from psychosexual therapy, I will tailor a treatment plan for you.  This usually involves a series of exercises which you do at home in your own time.  You go at your own pace, I will never push you to do anything you don’t want to do.  Over many years I have helped endless couples to enjoy new found connections and confidence with each other. 

I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT).  I am in Supervision, undertake regular CPD training and am fully insured.
