About

Hi, my name is Louise Bates and I am a Complementary Therapist, Author and Podcaster.

My passion is support others to feel and be well. For over 20 years I have been helping people release anxiety, panic attacks, fears, phobias and much more. If you are struggling with crippling anxiety, stress, trauma, or negative emotions, I can help you overcome and heal your overwhelming feelings, so you will feel calmer, much more in control, helping you to enjoy your life.  I also offer a range of relaxing treatments. Contact me today and find out how I can help you.

Contact me today for your FREE 30 minute consultation.

I am semi-retired so my therapy hours are limited between 10am & 1pm Monday to Friday. There is free parking on my driveway. 

When I’m not busy working in my therapy room I love making aromatherapy Soy Candles and my home made Aura Mist room sprays, which you can buy direct from me. I also have a  podcast called, A Gift For Grief – and I run monthly mindfulness sound meditation classes too. 

I became a published author in April 2019 with my book “Letters to Matthew“. My 2nd book, “A Gift for Grief” was published in November 2022.                                                                       Both books are available from Amazon or contact me directly. See more detail here

Payments can be made by cash (which I prefer) or card.                                                              (Please note: 24 hours notice is appreciated if you need to cancel an appointment)

Why not add on a 20-minute treatment to your booking for only £10? Choose from:

Mini foot massage
Mini head massage
Mini reiki
Mini hand and arm massage.

Please ask for this when booking for me to allocate the right amount of treatment time.

My website provides a page where you can download FREE guided meditations. These meditations have been written and recorded by me. They will help you to be relaxed and feel grounded. They relieve anxiety, mental health issues and support a positive mindset. Help yourself to as many as you like. Did I mention, they are all FREE!

I no longer sell gift vouchers but you can gift a treatment to a friend or loved one by booking and paying in advance for a treatment.

I am fully insured and hold membership with the FHT, a professional complementary therapists association, and I am bound by a strict code of practise.
