Human Givens therapy

The Human Givens approach emerged by asking a simple question: How do we, as human beings, achieve well-being?

​​​​​

Following millions of years of evolution, we are all born

'pre-programmed' with an innate set of physical and

emotional needs. ​​

When these needs are met in balance, we are mentally healthy.

​

To survive and thrive and meet our needs, we, like every living being, must continually maintain and rebuild ourselves taking nourishment from our environment. 

 

It is the universal law of all living things.

Human Givens therapy focuses on helping you better meet your needs and improve your life by nurturing and developing your unique skills, talents and resources while treating and overcoming barriers, such as unhelpful conditioning or trauma.

 

​It works in tune with the 'givens' of human nature. 

 

​At the heart of the approach is the understanding that to achieve well-being, the answer lies not in endless therapy, rather, it's getting your needs met in balance.
