Psychotherapy Practice

Effective, practical and fast help for people who are depressed, anxious or phobic - or suffering from trauma, addiction, anger disorders or relationship problems.

We all have basic physical and emotional needs such as the need for attention, love, security, connection and control, and the self-esteem which arises from competence and being stretched in our lives.

Nature also gave us the resources to help us meet such needs, including memory, imagination, problem solving abilities, self-awareness and a range of different thinking styles to use in various changing situations.

It is these needs and resources together, which are built in to our biology, that make up the human givens.

When emotional needs are not met, or our resources are used incorrectly, we suffer considerable distress. And so do those around us.

Human givens therapists focus on helping clients identify unmet emotional needs and empowering them to meet these needs by activating their own natural resources in new ways. To do this they use a variety or up-to-date, proven techniques aimed at problem solving.

This approach is expedient because it draws on both findings from psychology and neurobiology about how people really function and international research studies that have established which counselling techniques are most effective.
