Psychotherapy and Counselling

with the Human Givens

Have you lost interest in the things you normally love doing?

Are you feeling low, exhausted, having disturbed sleep?

Do you struggle to concentrate, have repetitive negative thoughts or worry a lot about future events?

Do you feel you need some help but aren’t sure how to take the first step?

It isn’t unusual to feel the emotions above – you’re not alone – it is estimated that 1 in 6 people in the past week experienced a common mental health problem*

It’s also not unusual to feel nervous about therapy – “Will I be judged?”, “Am I making a fuss?”, “But I’m a strong person!” are more common thoughts than you might imagine.

I provide a therapy setting where you can feel safe; because I’ve been through extreme anxiety and depression myself and I know how scary it can be.

No; you won’t be judged, you’re not making a fuss and you’ve already shown how strong you are by getting this far.

HUMAN GIVENS THERAPY

Human Givens therapy is a form of brief therapy, combining proven therapeutic techniques with the most up to date psychological knowledge and typically taking four to six sessions. I will take time to listen and to understand your emotions without dwelling on them, because it’s not necessary to feel worse before you can feel better.

We’ll use the Human Givens to decide on intelligent goals, uncover your innate resources and make positive changes quickly and effectively.

We will even practise using those resources at the end of each session; I always aim for you to leave feeling better than when you walked in.

“Having struggled with depression and anxiety issues on and off for several years and having no luck with other methods, I was pleasantly surprised at how much difference was made in so few sessions. Rob provides practical advice in a relaxing, non-judgmental atmosphere and I would highly recommend giving his techniques a try. He has given me the tools I need to feel much more like my old self again.”
