The human givens approach to psychotherapy and counselling helps people feel better and move on in their lives as quickly as possible. At its heart is the understanding that, when a human being’s essential emotional needs are met well and their innate mental resources are used empoweringly, they will be emotionally and mentally healthy.
What makes this approach different from others is that its therapists look to see what is missing in clients’ lives, with the aim of helping them find ways to better meet their needs and get their lives working again.
It is a practical, forward-focused approach, which concentrates on mastery of skills and understandings that people can use to move on in their lives, instead of focusing on what went wrong in the past.
Research findings show that it leads to significant improvement, usually in between one and six sessions.
Clients also gain greater resilience against future setbacks, as they understand what maintains emotional health and have practical ways in which to do so.
