Human Givens College

Human Givens College has been providing training in the best ways to treat mental health and behavioural problems for over twenty years.

We care passionately about improving mental health and reducing suffering – our aim is to support improvements in mental and physical healthcare, education and social services, by making readily available the necessary psychological knowledge and proven therapeutic skills that make it easier for you to reduce the considerable emotional distress and behavioural problems that increasing numbers of children and adults are experiencing.

As well as giving you essential psychological knowledge and proven practical skills, our down-to-earth training has introduced new research and insights into the causes and drivers of common conditions such as depression, addiction, anxiety disorders, trauma and psychosis which, when combined with the human givens framework for mental health and wellbeing, are revolutionising effective treatment.

Over 20,000 people (including, psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors, counsellors, social workers, teachers, police, clergy, youth workers, life coaches, HR managers and interested members of the public) have attended our seminars and workshops around the UK and in Ireland, and more recently in the USA or online.  As a result of their human givens psychotherapy training, they now help people overcome addiction, depression, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, OCD, anger, stress and even psychosis much more easily and effectively – reducing suffering and costs.

We deliberately present all the information in our courses in clear, jargon free language so as many people can benefit as possible.

So as well as providing perfect CPD training for a wide range of professions (you receive a CPD certificate for each course completed) – they are just as suitable for the interested general public or anyone wishing to embark on a career in psychotherapy or counselling.

Many of our courses also count towards the highly regarded Human Givens Diploma.

Our online courses give you the opportunity to ‘attend’ our ground-breaking training from anywhere in the world, at a time and place that suits you – saving you money and helping make your work easier and more effective.  Covering a wide range of subjects, they include free courses, webinars, diploma-linked courses and our Delving Deeper series, which explores the profound implications and relevance of human givens insights beyond the field of psychotherapy.

Graduates of the Human Givens Diploma to practitioner level are eligible to join the Human Givens Institute’s Professional Register of human givens practitioners, which is independently accredited in the UK by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) – this is the same government authority that oversees BACP, the General Medical Council, UKCP and many others.
