  • What is this?

    We’re all born with a set of basic human needs - safety, connection, control, purpose…

    When these needs are met, our mind and body naturally settle. When they’re not, stress and overwhelm take hold.

    You also come with built-in tools that help you cope: imagination, memory, problem-solving, self-awareness. Therapy simply helps you reconnect with these natural resources so you can move through life with more ease.

  • Why it is so effective?

    Human Givens focuses on what works. It avoids dragging you through old pain or long emotional excavations that leave you feeling worse.

    Instead, it grounds you, calms your system, and gives you practical tools that help right now.

    The approach is based on what actually helps people recover: restoring balance, building resources, and reduce overwhelm rather than amplifying it.

  • What does this involve?

    We start by understanding what’s happening in your life and what your goals are.

    From the first session, you’ll learn simple techniques to help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.

    Most people begin to feel a shift quickly, and often only a few sessions are needed to regain stability and move forward with confidence.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The treatment starts out with finding out about you and your life and the difficulties you are experiencing. More often than not, right from the first session we will also begin using relaxation methods, together with a wide range of other techniques. These exercises work to activate your own natural resources and are key to providing you with immediate relief from psychological stress.

We will also work out some achievable and realistic goals to focus on, starting with small manageable steps and continuing at a pace which suits you. We will work together to set goals that are clear and meaningful to you.

From here on we activate your natural resources to help you to feel better and take back control of your life. At each session we check out what effects the treatment is having for you and, if necessary, work through any unanticipated difficulties. Treatment ends when you’re happy that you’ve made enough progress to continue living a healthy life without regular assistance from me. (Human givens therapists do not encourage people to become dependent on therapy.)

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Everyone’s situation is different, but we aim to take as few sessions as possible and you can fully expect improvements to begin from the first session.

People rarely need more than six sessions to make significant progress and lasting improvements, often as few as three or four are necessary.

Let’s work together.

I am currently offering a limited number of Free Sessions, whilst in training.
