In a nutshell, this is why the work I do is so effective. Just because you haven’t felt right for 10 years, doesn’t mean it will take years of therapy to help you feel better. Give it a try.

Sometimes we may need a little extra help to get through a difficult time...

Human givens practitioners offer practical, solution-focused help that deals with mental and emotional distress in the here and now.

Their psychotherapy training ensures that they have a sound body of evidence-based knowledge and the proven skills to help both adults and children as quickly as possible with a wide variety of emotional and behavioural difficulties.

The human givens approach to psychotherapy and counselling – which was one of the first to draw actively on neuroscientific findings to inform therapeutic practice – is a brief, solution-focused approach which helps people feel better and move on in their lives as quickly as possible. At its heart is the understanding that, when a human being’s essential emotional needs are met and their innate mental resources are being used correctly, they will be emotionally and mentally healthy.

HG therapists also help clients to identify and overcome any barriers which may be preventing them from getting their needs met (such as unresolved trauma).

To do this – and to help with any other presenting problem – human givens therapists draw from a variety of tried and tested therapeutic methods (such as cognitive therapy, behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, solution focused approaches, motivational interviewing, reflective listening and hypnotherapy) as well as the latest neuroscientific findings and new insights derived from the HG approach which increase our knowledge of what it means to be human and our understanding of what people need to maintain emotional wellbeing.

Identify what is missing...
When anxiety becomes out of control, it means something isn’t working properly in our lives. This could be because one or more of your emotional needs and/or physical needs aren’t being met well, or in balance, or because your innate resources which were designed to help us meet our needs aren’t functioning as they should (this is known as the human givens approach). By identifying and addressing the missing needs and learning to make the best use of your resources – your natural guidance system – will allow you to master effective ways to ensure yourself a better future.

Fast Effective Trauma Therapy from an Experienced Trauma Specialist.

"Amanda helped me work through a traumatic event much quicker than I thought possible. I went from crying every time I thought about it to bring able to talk about it easily". (Trauma Client May 2024).

Perhaps something happened to you, and you just don’t seem to be able to get over it? Maybe you can’t stop thinking about it, or you’re tired all the time, irritable, or afraid of an upcoming event?

In the past I have helped many clients struggling to recover from the effects of difficult events; accidents, birth trauma, relationship breakdowns, bad flights, bullying, abuse, you name it I’ve seen it. So, if something happened to you last month or maybe years ago and you think it’s still negatively affecting you, then please get in touch.

People often dull the pain, with alcohol, drugs, even exercise. Is that you?

If it’s a ‘simple’ trauma we may be able to deal with it in just a few sessions, using an amazing technique called Rewind. Sometimes the effects of trauma are more complex, particularly if something happened in childhood, and this may take more time. However, you’re never tied into any type of contract and I try to be flexible with appointment times. I work face-to-face in Marlow or online.

So, if you know something needs to change and you want things to be better, be in touch.

If you're still not sure please take a look at the testimonials on my website. I look forward to hearing from you.

Have you ever wondered how PTSD Resolution therapy works? And how we know it works? 🧐

Here’s a little insight into Project 100, a research initiative that helps us measure results - to make sure we’re on the right track ✅

“A new study by researchers at Nottingham Trent University provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of the charity PTSD Resolution’s programme in treating mental health symptoms experienced by former members of the UK armed forces. Analysing data from over 200 veterans who registered for treatment between 2020-2023, Project-100 found significant improvements across a range of clinical measures…”

Why not give it a try.

The human givens approach to psychotherapy and counselling helps people feel better and move on in their lives as quickly as possible. At its heart is the understanding that, when a human being’s essential emotional needs are met and their innate mental resources are being used correctly, they will be emotionally and mentally healthy.

What makes the human givens approach different from other therapy approaches is that its therapists look to see what is missing, or being misused, in clients’ lives, with the aim of helping them find ways to better meet their needs.

It is a practical, forward-focused approach, which concentrates on mastery of skills and understandings that people can use in the future to move on in their lives, rather than concentrating on, and being stuck in, what went wrong in the past.

The success of this fluidity of approach is evidenced by research findings that show it helps an unprecedented three out of four clients achieve significant improvement or cure, usually in between one and six sessions.

Clients also leave therapy with greater resilience against future setbacks, as they have increased understanding of what they need to maintain their emotional health and practical ways in which to do so.
