Welcome to Southampton Body Stories
My name is Doris Prügel-Bennett and I work with Counselling & Psychotherapy (including Psychodrama), the Alexander Technique and other creative methods to help you improve your physical and mental well-being and move towards a healthier relationship with yourself. I am also a certified Doula (Pregnancy & Birth Partner) providing support to pregnant and new mothers.
