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.

An article in the Sunday Telegraph, 16th June 2024, reported how Major Wayne Owers, a decorated Afghanistan veteran and a distinguished 27-year career in the Army, rose through the ranks to become a highly respected bomb disposal officer, earning three prestigious honours from the Queen. However,his journey took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), leading to a prescription for antidepressants and a medical discharge that left him feeling discarded and lost.

After just six sessions of free human givens therapy provided via a referral from charity, PTSD Resolution, Major Owers reported a remarkable change in his life.

“I’ve now had six sessions and my life has been transformed. I can honestly say the treatment is revolutionary. My nightmares are subsiding. My OCD has diminished hugely and I no longer get anxious.

“I want to get the message out there and tell any veterans or their dependents who still have PTSD to get in touch with PTSD Resolution. They offer free therapy and it has changed my life and many others’ more,” he says. “For the first time in years, I feel happy and contented, like a huge weight has been lifted.”
