Human Givens Therapy

Benefits of the human givens approach

Wherever the human givens approach is implemented – in the fields of mental and physical health, welfare and social care, education, coaching, business or diplomacy, for instance – people find it soon benefits everyone involved.

Here are some of the reasons why:

  • It provides a clear framework of what all human beings need to live mentally healthy and fulfilling lives – based on a solid understanding of the essentials needs and resources we are all born with, whatever our circumstances or cultural background
  • Helps to identify why a person is experiencing their current difficulties and what can be done about it
  • Applies the very latest insights from neuroscience and psychological research
  • Explains in clear terms the causes of a wide range of emotional distress and behavioural problems
  • Uses the most effective psychotherapeutic techniques from a wide range of approaches, combining them into one highly effective and flexible ‘tool box’
  • Provides a practical, holistic way of working with patients and enables therapy to be easily tailored to each individual’s needs
  • Research demonstrates that Human Givens therapy (HGT) works quickly and effectively – in four to six sessions on average
  • Uses clear, jargon-free language 
  • It  empowers clients by helping them to understand their symptoms and why they got into difficulties, as well as what they need to do to avoid them in the future, whilst also providing them with effective strategies to help them cope if they do
