Our Approach

Human Givens Approach

There are many different approaches to psychotherapy and counselling. Inspire Life Therapy promotes the Human Givens approach to help people improve their mental health and wellbeing. This is a truly bio-psycho-social approach, which means we work holistically with you and focus on the biological, psychological and social aspects of your situation. We aim to incorporate the most effective therapeutic techniques, neuroscientific findings and newly-devised interventions from all areas of psychology, coaching and other sciences.

In addition, Human Givens is founded on an organising idea that we have a number of emotional and physical needs. We work with you to help you find ways to meet your needs in balance, to live well and achieve your goals. So, the approach is straight-forward and once you know the framework, you can’t unknow it. It gives you a way of life that you can use to move forward for yourself and others important to you.

We focus on achieving positive outcomes for clients as quickly as possible. We use a wide range of practical, emotional and psychological tools and strategies scaffold to create a bespoke solution for each client.

We are non-judgmental, inclusive and non-stigmatising in our approach. We are here for you no matter what your situation, whether it’s anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, gender dysphoria or neurodiversity, for example.

Finally, we are delighted that Human Givens is one of six accredited bodies recognised by the Professional Standards Authority as part of the Scope of Practice and Education (SCoPEd) framework, a ground-breaking framework which sets out clear and transparent standards for the training, practice and competence requirements of psychotherapists and counsellors in England.
