HUMAN GIVENS APPROACH

My approach focuses on understanding the emotional and psychological needs that influence your wellbeing, helping you identify what may be out of balance and develop practical ways to restore a greater sense of stability and fulfilment.

HUMAN GIVENS APPROACH

Understand What You Need. Restore Balance. Move Forward.

The Human Givens approach is a practical, evidence-based framework for understanding emotional wellbeing and the difficulties that can arise when important psychological needs are not being met.

The approach recognises that we all have fundamental emotional needs, including security, connection, autonomy, attention, achievement and purpose. When these needs are consistently unmet or out of balance, it can affect how we think, feel and function in everyday life.

At London Psychologist Centre, Human Givens therapy focuses on understanding what is happening in your life now, identifying what may be out of balance and helping you draw on your existing strengths to create positive change.

HOW THE HUMAN GIVENS APPROACH WORKS

Understanding Your Needs and Finding What Is Out of Balance

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, Human Givens therapy looks at the wider picture of your emotional wellbeing.

Together, therapy explores questions such as:

What do you need to feel well?

Identifying the emotional and psychological needs that are important for your sense of balance and wellbeing.

What may be missing or out of balance?

Understanding the circumstances, relationships, habits or pressures that may be affecting your emotional health.

What resources do you already have?

Recognising your existing strengths, coping abilities and experiences that can support recovery and change.

What can be changed now?

Using practical therapeutic techniques to address difficulties and develop healthier ways of responding.

The approach is collaborative and solution-focused. Instead of spending unnecessary time analysing the past, therapy concentrates on understanding your current situation and finding practical ways to help you move forward.

WHAT CAN HUMAN GIVENS THERAPY HELP WITH?

Practical Support for Emotional Health and Wellbeing

The Human Givens approach can be used to support a range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:

  • Anxiety and persistent worry
  • Stress and feeling overwhelmed
  • Low mood and depression
  • Addiction and unhelpful behaviours
  • Relationship and emotional difficulties
  • Loss of motivation or direction
  • Problems with confidence and self-belief
  • Difficult life circumstances and transitions
  • Feeling emotionally exhausted or out of balance

The aim is not simply to manage symptoms, but to understand what may be contributing to them and identify practical ways to restore greater balance in your life.

At London Psychologist Centre, Human Givens therapy is personalised to your circumstances, combining a compassionate understanding of your experience with practical strategies that you can use in everyday life.
