About me and my therapy practice
I am a humanistic, integrative practitioner with over twenty five years post qualifying experience thirteen of which I gained working in primary care in the NHS. Whilst my values and approach are underpinned by person centred therapy, I have integrated skills from a wide range of therapies, to enable me to work holistically. I have a special interest in Narrative therapy; please see my website for more information. I also specialise in trauma work, I am happy to work short or long term.
Practice description
I work both face to face and online from Enso Healing Rooms; 190 Cheltenham road BS6 5RB . Enso is a martial art shop and has therapy rooms to the back. There is metered on street parking check signage for details.
I am a highly experienced therapist who will offer you a personalized therapy experience.
I have worked therapeutically with people from all walks of life for my entire working life.
I am committed to ongoing personal and professional training to ensure that my practice benefits from current best practice.
Two years ago I consolidated my knowledge and skills base around trauma focused work by undertaking a certificate in trauma focused therapy.
I also trained in working online at the start of the pandemic.
I now offer both online and in person work to suit you’re preferences.
I have thirteen years experience working in the NHS as a counsellor.
I am commited to anti oppressive practice.
I seek to work intersectionally, respecting difference and being anti racist and an ally of the lgbtqiap+ community. I am neurodivergent affirming.
For more information about me and the way I work please do have a read of my website which will shortly be relaunched by WebHealer but can currently be found at www. Ginnybates.com
My first session
I offer an initial 10 -20m zoom or regular phone call for free as an initial way to answer any questions. I believe we often form an impression of whether we will be a good fit from speaking. If you then choose to pursue working together we can arrange a longer initial session (50m). I offer this initial session for a partly refundable fee; i chef full price if we are a match. However should you choose not to continue I will refund sixty percent of the fee.
