Using Human Givens to deliver excellent Counselling

Human Givens Counsellors
  • Learn of the essential role of dreaming to maintain emotional health.
  • Understand that habits create patterns which if inappropriate, influence our emotions such that these can overwhelm desirable thinking and actions.
  • Strive to make effective use of a range of tools and methods to help clients shift unhelpful patterns and empower them to use their own resources to meet their essential needs.

There are many places in this website where you see how Human Givens knowledge and teaching have been incorporated into the Feelbetter East London and Essex Human Givens counselling practice.

This is a summary of how lessons from a Human Givens counselling perspective will influence your therapy with me.

Nine Lessons
  1. Meeting Essential Needs is a prerequisite for emotional health
  2. We will normally undertake a needs audit (either explicitly or implicitly) - how well are your needs being met now.

  3. Human beings are problem solving creatures
  4. Achievable, concrete and relevant goal setting is an essential prerequisite for you to change.

  5. High emotional arousal makes us all stupid and learning takes place when calm
  6. We will work to enhance emotional intelligence - to increase your awareness and to communicate understanding of the sources of stress. To learn tools and methods for stress alleviation and to work with you when you are relaxed.

  7. Often trauma or trauma like symptoms will be at the root of emotional distress
  8. Human Givens practitioners are trained in the Rewind technique which quickly removes most traumatic experiences from the emotional brain.

  9. Imagination is the main engine for improved performance
  10. Guided imagery and visualisation is a powerful aid to motivate and rehearse helpful change.

  11. Creativity is accessed in a relaxed state of flow
  12. You can respond well to tailor made methods that allow access to your creative right brain so that it will work harmoniously with the logical and ordered left brain.

  13. The brain understands and communicates by patterns (metaphors) and seeks to complete these in the environment
  14. Our conversations are built around metaphor/story identification and construction that will make sense on all levels.

  15. Our capacities and resources are always greater than we think
  16. We will work at all times to identify and refocus or to restore and amplify your resources, which in most cases will be accessible from your past memories and experiences.

  17. For all of us, emotions precede and drive thoughts and actions
  18. There are a range of methods that can be used and which have as their objective the creation of appropriate emotional tags to the events and circumstances that you are likely to be experiencing.


How well might you respond to working in this way?

Feelbetter Counselling's model of mental and emotional distress:

ORWED

This is ORWED Click here to find out more and to view ORWED more clearly.

As life and how we cope fail to work.....into the whirlpool of emotion we go.....and out of which we may develop either a predominantly anxiety, depression or addiction problem.

The key point is not to focus on the detail of the problem but to understand that all have a common cause and common route back to emotional health.

Over 85% of my clients feel better at the end of their treatment - normally around 4 sessions. This is a high number and should give you confidence. I am pretty well unique as a private therapist - to maintain such records.
