In my practice, I adhere to the Human Givens approach, a highly effective, compassionate, and practical framework for emotional health and wellbeing. Rooted in the latest psychological research and neuroscience, Human Givens therapy is designed to help people regain balance in their lives quickly and sustainably

At the heart of the Human Givens approach is a simple but powerful idea: all human beings come into the world with a set of emotional needs—such as the need for safety, connection, autonomy, attention, and purpose—and a set of innate resources to help meet those needs. When these needs are not met in healthy and balanced ways, we can experience stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and a range of other emotional difficulties.

My role as a therapist is to:

• Help identify which needs may be unmet or out of balance,

• Use evidence-based techniques to resolve emotional distress efficiently and respectfully.

The Human Givens approach is brief and solution-focused, meaning that we don’t dwell unnecessarily on the past. Instead, we work collaboratively to make sense of your current experience and move you toward meaningful and lasting change.

Many clients find this approach empowering, practical, and deeply validating—it’s about helping you get your life working again, not just managing symptoms.
