Human Givens therapy will normally make a difference quickly. Often,  real benefits will be felt after the first session, invariably by the third session and rarely are more than six necessary.

It's effective because it draws on both findings from psychology and neurobiology about how people really function. Human givens counsellors do not waste time just endlessly listening to you or attempting to dredge up real or imagined miserable memories from the past, since research shows this tends to confuse and upset vulnerable people. Nor do they deal in time-wasting, prolonged so-called 'voyages of self-discovery'. Instead they offer practical help in the here and now.

A typical session lasts for one hour and at all times your wishes and values will be respected. There will be no jargon or psychobabble. Nor will the past be unduly dwelt on.

An explanation in  plain English will be given as to why you are feeling as you do and in a way which will make sense to you.

Typically, specific and concrete goals are agreed. These goals are set at a pace with which you feel comfortable. Goals give us all a focus and are a means by which the effectivenesss of the therapy can be judged.
