Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy is an evidence based therapy which integrates hypnosis, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Meditation and applied philosophy are woven through this highly tailored treatment programme. Through talking therapy we identify unhelpful thoughts, feelings, actions and beliefs then create goals collaboratively to address them and use hypnosis to embed new positive cognitions. This therapy will change the way you think and behave.

I use a variety of tools to achieve rapid and enduring change in clients, which include not only CBT and Hypnosis but meditation, mindfulness and breathing techniques. CBT is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems. Conditions I treat include Low Confidence and Self–Esteem, Stress regarding Exams or School, Low Mood, Menopause, Social Anxiety, Performance Anxiety, Habits and Phobias. I also have advanced specialism in Smoking and Vaping Cessation.

Unlike some other talking treatments, CBT deals with your current problems, rather than focusing on issues from your past. It looks for practical ways to improve your state of mind on a daily basis. I aim to instigate change from our first session but on average it can take between 4 – 6 sessions, depending on the issue.

Each person's healing journey is entirely personal and Dr Donna aims to provide an integrative and personalised approach to medical care, honouring that good health comes from healing your immune system, your nutrition, your stress response and your identity.

This is whole person medicine. The aim is to empower patients with the understanding and knowledge of the root cause of their health issues and provide a personalised ‘prescription’ of interventions that facilitates an individual's return to wellness.

As a highly experienced medical doctor, Dr Donna aims to teach her patients what their symptoms represent, by working with them: gathering information and organising that information meaningfully. Arranging and analysing blood tests or other investigations as necessary, initiating an agreed treatment plan and then tracking progress.

There are some illnesses for which there is no cure but healing is always possible.

To quote Dr Donna "I know the value of having a care provider whom I can trust and who actively listens to and acknowledges the things that are important to me. I aim to provide the care for you that I would want for myself, my own family, and my friends. I am, above all, caring. I want YOU to be in charge of your health and I will work with you and help you reach your health goals."

For further information, please see Dr Donna's website www.drdonna.co.uk

PLEASE NOTE - A private GP service is not a substitute or replacement for times when people need immediate or emergency care. Please use the appropriate care provider service (GP/111 in hours or 111/walk-in centre for out-of-hours minor/non-life threatening conditions or 999/AE if a serious accident or life-threatening emergency e.g. chest pain/severe difficulty in breathing, heavy bleeding).

Regretfully, due to CQC restrictions Dr Donna is unable to see patients under the age of 18 years here at The Broad Street Practice


Reflexology & Bowen Therapy

Reflexology and Bowen Therapy appointments are provided on an ad-hoc basis, by mutual agreement between the client, our reflexologist and the clinic. Please contact Vicki Ball our reflexologist by email at vickiball10@hotmail.com to discuss an appointment.

I am a registered nurse with 35 years experience in the NHS and the Private Sector, fully qualified in Ear Irrigation/syringing. I have had a varied career and qualified in 1986 from Homerton College Cambridge and have worked in hospitals, Ear, Nose and Throat clinics and various wards and departments.

I worked for 12 years in a GP practice as the Lead Practitioner and qualified as an Independent Nurse Prescriber in 2004. I used these skills in the minor illness clinic and developed my interest in Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease and Rheumatology.

Many people will know my face - I was born and bred in Stamford and worked at Stamford and Peterborough hospitals for several years.

Following the Covid Pandemic I set up Stamford Ear Syringing as unfortunately, ear irrigation is no longer a core service offered by GPs but ear wax still remains a problem for many people.

In my spare time I love cooking, reading and walking. I also love spending my time with my family and traveling.

I am at the Broad Street Practice on Thursday afternoons and regular Saturday mornings. If you require further information do not hesitate to call the practice for an appointment on 01780 480889, or you can contact me on 07711298880

I am registered with the National Midwifery Council (NMC) and have an enhanced DBS certificate.

I qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1986 from Bath School of Physiotherapy and have worked in both the NHS and private practice since. This has meant a wealth of experience including orthopaedic and musculoskeletal medicine at the Middlesex Hospital and Peterborough Hospitals, cardiac and respiratory medicine at the Royal Brompton Hospital and a great stint on an exchange programme to Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia.

I have continued training since qualifying, particularly in headache and migraine management, back and shoulder pain, running and other sporting injuries. I qualified in acupuncture and Pilates as adjuncts to physiotherapy.

I particularly benefited from studying with elite rehabilitation consultant, Joanne Elphinstone. As Joanne says “The most enduring relationship of your life is the one that you have with your body.”

When working with patients, whether young or old, sporting or more sedentary, I use hands on physiotherapy alongside exercise to improve movement, help restore confidence in the body and enable people to live life to the full.

I have lived and worked in the Stamford area for 30 years. My proudest achievement is raising two fabulous children. When not working I can be found enjoying sport, travelling, theatre, film, and knitting! I keep fit with walking and boot camps and I’m a “shout it from the rooftops” advocate for parkrun.

I qualified as a Reflexologist in 2006 following two years training at The Burghley Academy in Peterborough. After qualifying I was based at Oakham Medical Practice and then went on to work independently. I provide reflexology to patients at the Sue Ryder Hospice in Peterborough on a regular basis.

In 2010 I qualified in Advanced Reflexology and I continues to expand her knowledge and intuition of reflexology by attending regular talks and seminars.

In November 2014 I qualified in the Bowen Technique having trained for a year with Bowtech (in association with The Bowen Therapy Academy of Australia). During my training I had to fulfil over 100 hours of practice along with completing over 10 case studies. I regularly attend talks and seminars on the technique to satisfy the requirement for 16 hours continuing professional development points each year.

With my husband Perry Westbrook, I am a co-director of The Broad Street Practice, which we started from scratch in 1996.

I graduated with a 2:1 Bachelor of Science degree in Osteopathic Medicine from the British College of Naturopathy & Osteopathy in 1995. I pride myself in my role as a primary healthcare practitioner and relish the diversity of patients who come through the door – all ages, backgrounds, professions, body shapes and states of health! I particularly enjoy treating pregnant women and mothers of young children and with my secretarial background I have particular empathy - and sympathy! - for those whose working hours keep them stuck at a desk and in front of a computer screen.

I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to teach patients – introducing them to the anatomy, physiology and mechanics underlying their problem and am a great believer that if people understand what has happened to them and why, then we’re half way to resolving the problem or helping to gain control over a long-standing condition.

Ongoing training is a central part of maintaining our skills and I enjoy attending training courses, seminars and workshops.

Hello, I’m Lorna, a qualified Counsellor and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP - Registration No 41783), the UK’s leading body for talking therapies. I am also a Parent.

Before training to be a counsellor, my job choices always led me to working with people – following university I worked in Care, for a young/disabled person and then with the elderly. I also worked for the charity, Parentline as a call taker – giving me more insight (and building on my own parental experience) into family life, both from an adult/young person’s perspective. It was, however, teaching in secondary schools across the country, which particularly opened my eyes to many of the situations facing young people.

My growing interest in emotional health led me to retrain as a therapist – I’ve been counselling now for twelve years. Working for the charity CASY (Counselling and Support for Young People), I’ve counselled in schools across the region and in communities, working with adults/young people/children (aged 11 plus). Previous work with Victim Support/Parentline/counselling staff in schools have helped to inform my work with adults.

I share the values and work to the principles held by the BACP, as set out in the Ethical Framework for Good Practice. I regularly attend training for my Continuous Professional Development and to keep up to date with policies. I hold a current enhanced DBS Certificate and am trained in safe guarding.

My professional qualifications include a BA Honours degree, a Post Graduate Certificate in  Education, a C.P.C.A.B. Advanced diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Certificates in training to work therapeutically with children and young people.

I am a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist qualified from the Harley Street Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy College and I’m registered with the General Hypnotherapy Council.

I use a variety of tools to achieve rapid and enduring change in clients, which include not only CBT and Hypnosis but meditation, mindfulness and breathing techniques.

Issues I treat include Low Confidence and Self–Esteem, Low Mood, Menopause, Social Anxiety, Performance Anxiety, Habits and Phobias. I also have advanced specialism in Smoking and Vaping Cessation.

I aim to instigate change from our first session but on average it can take between 4 – 6 sessions, depending on the issue.

My name is Duncan Ford Ba (Hons), Lic.ac, MBAcC Cert KHT, I obtained my First Class Honours Degree in Traditional Acupuncture at CTA in Hatton which, before its closure, was the oldest college of Acupuncture in Europe. I have full membership with the British Acupuncture Council which is the leading regulatory body for the practice of acupuncture in the UK.

My first contact with acupuncture was through the world of Chinese martial arts, in particular Taijiquan and Qigong, which I have been a student of for the last 13 years. I feel my interest in this internal martial art has lead me to understand the fundamental building blocks that underpin the foundations of Traditional Chinese medicine.

As well as my acupuncture qualifications I have a diploma in Tuina Medical Massage and have recently obtained a Level 3 Sports Massage qualification. I am pleased to offer a special blend of the best of these three disciplines in my Oriental Medical Massage Treatments.

I am fully committed to the practice of acupuncture and continuously work to develop myself professionally, so as to be able to provide the best possible care for my patients. I regularly attend postgraduate courses to further develop myself as a practitioner and to deepen my understanding of this living tradition.

My introduction to and passion for osteopathy started almost 30 years ago after I had a successful treatment for a stiff and painful neck. I went on to train and, after graduating with a BSc (Hons) Osteopathy in 1999, I’ve been fortunate to gain a wealth of experience working both in the UK and New Zealand and I ran my own clinic with a team of osteopaths for 15 years.

Whilst primarily a structural osteopath, my knowledge has broadened and special interests developed by completing and attending various post graduate courses and seminars. These special interests include posture related symptoms, BBPV training in the Epley Manoeuvre, and sporting activities - having a golfer, footballer and athlete in the family. I enjoy Zumba sessions once or twice a week and since moving to the area am enjoying kayaking the Nene.

I am committed and positive in my approach to patient care. I aim to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment with the best possible outcome so you can get back to the activities you love.

I am an experienced Western Medical Herbalist registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) and the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy (CPP) . After achieving a degree in Medical Science from the University of Birmingham Medical School, I completed a degree in Western Herbal Medicine from the University of East London.

With my background in Medical Science and wide experience of Herbal Medicine, I use my knowledge to offer an integrated approach for my patients, to help optimise benefit from treatment.

I joined The Broad St Practice in October 2014 and have over 15 years clinical experience.

During my Herbal degree, I was awarded the Pharmacology prize for excellent understanding of the action and effects of both conventional and herbal medicines. My previous research interests include looking at the interaction of Vitamin D and the immune system and the properties of Milk Thistle preparations; a herb that has a long traditional use for its protective effect on the liver.

I regularly deliver talks on ‘Herbal Medicine’, ‘Optimising Sleep’ and ‘Herbal Medicine & The Menopause’. I am a member of council for the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy & for the European Herbal & Traditional Practitioners Association, setting quality and standards in Herbal Medicine.

I became interested in Herbal Medicine after both my Grandmothers turned to it, having exhausted the conventional route without relief. In both cases, after a number of week’s treatment with herbal medicine, their chronic problems were cured and their quality of life hugely improved as a result.

I attended Stamford Endowed School and graduated from Hartpury University with a 1st Class Honours degree in Sports Therapy in the summer of 2023.

My experience at university in the Student Clinic and my placement at Royal Wootton Bassett RFC allowed me to see and treat an array of acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries. My degree has armed me with the skills and knowledge to provide well-rounded treatment including injury assessment, initial first aid, complete injury management, joint mobilisations and exercise prescription.

Further to this I completed a qualification in Sports Massage to ensure that I was equipped with sufficient skills to provide all-round effective treatment.

Since graduating I have gained valuable clinical experience in a private neurological rehabilitation facility.

My qualifications include: • BSc (Hons) Sports Therapy – First Class • ITEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sports Massage • Member of the Society of Sports Therapists

I graduated, with honours, from the British School of Osteopathy (now University College of Osteopathy) in 1996.

The theory and practice of osteopathy has held a fascination for me since I first became aware of it; so deeply rooted in science and evidence yet so artful and unique in its application.

We are all physically the same yet each is uniquely different. It is a difference that matters. “Why me? Why now?” are just two of the questions my patients frequently ask. The answers lie in the unique attributes of each, individual patient’s physical, emotional and social attributes.

With this perspective so deeply engrained, my interest is wide and I enjoy treating a broad-spectrum of acute and chronic injuries and conditions across the age-range. Through qualifications in the use of electrotherapy and medical acupuncture, I am able to further encourage patients’ healing mechanisms by integrating the use of these techniques into clinical treatment plans.

Away from the Practice, I am a keen cyclist, enjoy ‘off the beaten track’ travel and SCUBA diving. I maintain a commercial pilot licence and also skydive. I have a longstanding, personal interest in human psychology and personality development and disorder and I enjoy successfully trading with foreign exchange and indices.

Carol graduated from Staffordshire University with a bachelor’s degree in Sports Science in 1993 and went on to work within the fitness industry including working as a senior fitness consultant with BUPA, a personal trainer and an athletics coach. However after suffering through injury herself and watching others struggle with injuries she became very interested in injury and rehabilitation and from there began training as an Osteopath.

Carol graduated in July 2018 with an honour’s degree in Osteopathy and is now registered with the General Osteopathic Council of Great Britain Although Carol has a good grounding in sports and biomechanics, she treats far more than just sports injuries including issues associated with occupational strain, poor posture, whip lash, back pain, arthritis and headaches. However her specialisms are in treating shoulders having completed her dissertation on shoulder impingement and she is a certified running injury specialist after undergoing further training with “The Running Clinic” a research based manual therapy training clinic approved by the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Carol uses a wide range of osteopathic manual techniques and is happy to adapt to improve patient comfort and preferences.

Outside of work Carol is a keen runner and running coach, orienteer (good at getting lost!) and horse rider.

I came to osteopathy via a circuitous route - first as a tree surgeon in the Royal Parks in London, and then a motor racing engineer. A back injury led me into the field of manual medicine and I first qualified as a Sports Therapist in 1989. Finding that limiting, I decided to re-train and I graduated with BSc Honours degrees in Osteopathic Medicine in 1995. In 1996, my wife Anthea and I set up The Broad Street Practice here in Stamford.

I have built up a wealth of experience in general practice, treating a diverse range of patients from all walks of life and corners of the globe! I particularly enjoy the challenge of complex cases and as a result have very good connections with local GP’s and Specialists.

Even after all this time and countless treatments to thousands of people, I continue to thoroughly enjoy my work, finding it stimulating and satisfying. I relish attending courses to further expand my knowledge.
