Bethany Bateman

I combine a passion for Human Givens therapy with over 10 years experience of working with people affected by life changing and life limiting health conditions.

I previously trained and worked in CBT and humanistic therapy, before working in the charity sector. For over 10 years, I helped people with long term and terminal conditions to get their voices heard. I listened to people’s stories, helping them to come to terms with their diagnoses and seeing them flourish as their needs were met through the work we did together.

Most people will experience challenges with their health at some point in their lives. When that happens, it’s likely to have a major impact on the way that their needs are met. As a society, we aren’t good at talking about these things, which makes it hard to plan for them, to come to terms with them, and hard to live well regardless.

I can help people to face these changes. Human Givens gives me the skills to help people work towards getting their needs met, whatever other challenges may be going on in their lives.
