Referrals for DorPIP Services

If you are a parent or professional making a referral, please select the suitable option above, if you have trouble accessing the appropriate form, please email us directly at referrals@dorpip.org.uk

For professionals referring families 

We accept referrals from: 

  • health visitors  

  • midwives  

  • GPs  

  • perinatal mental health teams  

  • family hubs and early help services  

This is a specialist parent-infant relationship service, supporting families during pregnancy and the first two years of life. 

If you are supporting a family where: 

  • the parent-infant relationship feels strained  

  • there are concerns about bonding or connection  

  • the parent is experiencing emotional distress impacting the relationship  

We would welcome a referral. Referrals can be made by parents or professionals, including as part of a clinical referral pathway alongside wider services.

I’m a lot less anxious since I started psychotherapy and I feel a lot more in control. It’s easier to get on with day-to-day life, and I feel like I can enjoy my baby more. We are doing a lot more together and feel more connected.

For parents and carers 

You are welcome here exactly as you are. 

You don’t need to have the right words, or know what the problem is. We will work it out together. 

Seeking support is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is a way of taking care of your baby by taking care of your relationship.

If you’re unsure whether this is the right support, please get in touch — we’re happy to talk it through. 

If you would like to make contact with us about any other reason, please complete and submit the form and we will get back to you.

Alternatively, you can email or call us.
