Human Givens therapy is designed to help you as quickly as possible - often in 4 to 6 sessions. We focus initially on what’s happening right now, what you need to feel better, and what practical steps will get you there. Every session is active and collaborative — you’ll leave with techniques you can use immediately, not just insights to think about. The goal is relief first, understanding second, and lasting change built on both.

The Human Givens approach starts from a simple but powerful idea: we all have innate emotional needs — for security, autonomy, connection, meaning, and more. When those needs aren’t being well met, distress follows. Anxiety, depression, anger, addiction are signals that something essential is missing or out of balance. Therapy helps identify which needs are unmet and build practical skills to meet them in ways that work for you.

Human Givens therapy draws on neuroscience, many schools of psychology, and decades of clinical research into what actually works. It’s not a theoretical model; it’s built from studying how the brain operates and how change happens. Research shows that Human Givens therapy is at least as effective as (and often faster than) long-term approaches for most common difficulties.
