The Human Givens Approach starts out with finding out about you and the difficulties you are experiencing. More often than not, right from the first session we will also begin using relaxation methods, together with a wide range of other techniques. These exercises work to activate your own natural resources and are key to providing you with immediate relief from psychological stress.

We will also work out some achievable and realistic goals to focus on, starting with small manageable steps and continuing at a pace which suits you. We will work together to set goals that are clear and meaningful to you.

From here we can activate your natural resources to help you to feel better and take back control of your life.

At each session we check out what effects the treatment is having on you and, if necessary, work through any unanticipated difficulties.

Treatment ends when you are happy that you have made enough progress to continue living a healthy life without regular assistance from me.

(Human Givens Therapists do not encourage people to become dependent on therapy.)

How long will it take?

Everyone's situation is different, but we aim to take as few sessions as possible and you can fully expect improvements to begin from the first session. The average number of sessions is between four and six sessions.

How much does it cost?

Because the length of the session can vary, depending on the work we do, I charge my time for individuals at an hourly rate of €100.
