Having played in orchestras around the world, Dorothy Whitford understands the physical and stress problems of professional musicians. It was this knowledge which ultimately led her to studying the Alexander Technique and Neuro-Developmental Therapy. She also formed the Halcyon String Quartet of Leeds, Yorkshire , which she now leads, and opened a private clinic in Leeds.

Operating the Leeds Dyslexia Centre, Dorothy consults privately in Neuro-Developmental Therapy to help children overcome early learning difficulties. Her sympathetic and understanding approach is proven to help children reach their full potential.

Dorothy also offers individual lessons in the Alexander Technique, to overcome posture related difficulties such as back ache, neck pains, breathing disorders and other problems.

She runs a private clinic located in Leeds. You can learn more in the sections below.

Offering a remedy for learning difficulties, behavioural problems and co-ordination difficulties in children. Helps your child to flourish.

Each one of us is born with a set of primitive reflexes that should be controlled by a "higher" part of the brain in early life. If they are not fully controlled during infancy, then the brain cannot gain adequate control over voluntary, skilled and complex movements.
The result is developmental delay, which can include early childhood difficulties with balance, co-ordination, reading or writing, underachievement, school phobia, and other behavioural difficulties.

Dorothy Whitford offers Neuro-Developmental Therapy in a sympathetic and sensitive manner that addresses these problems, helping your child to overcome them and realise his or her full potential.
