Carole Nyman BA MHGI
Registered Member of the Human Givens Institute
 We all have basic physical and emotional needs, such as the need for attention, love, security, connection and control, and the self-esteem which arises from competence and being stretched in our lives.
Nature also gave us the resources to help us to meet such needs, including:
Memory, Imagination, Problem-solving abilities, Self-awareness and a range of different thinking styles to use in various changing situations.
These needs and resources together, which are built into our biology, make up the 'Human Givens'.
When emotional needs are not met, or when our resources are used incorrectly, we suffer considerable distress.
And so do those around us.
Human Givens Therapists focus on helping clients identify unmet emotional needs and empowering them to meet these needs by activating their own natural resources in new ways. We do this by using a variety of proven techniques aimed at changing emotional responses and problem solving.
It is a practical approach aimed at enabling you to move on in your life as quickly as possible.
As a Human Givens Therapist, I am trained to:
-
Understand depression and how to work with you to lift it.
-
Help immediately with anxiety problems such as panic attacks, nightmares, post traumatic stress, phobias and trauma.
-
Not dwell unduly on the past.
-
Be supportive when difficult feelings emerge, but won’t encourage you to get emotional beyond the need to ‘let go’ of bottled up feelings.
-
Help you to both draw and build upon your own inner resources (which may prove greater than you thought).
-
Assist you to develop skills so that your needs for affection, friendship, pleasure, intimacy, connection to the wider community etc can be better fulfilled.
-
Be considerate of the effects of counselling on the people close to you.
-
Teach you to relax deeply.
-
Help you think about your problems in new and empowering ways.
-
Sometimes ask you to do things between sessions.
-
Take as few sessions as possible.
-
Endeavour to increase your self confidence and independence and to make sure that you feel better after every session.
