As the world is rocked from one attrocious terrorist attack or conflict to another, we desperarately need a new direction, one based on sound psychological knowledge which explains what drives people to do what they do and shows where the solutions might lie. It is with this aim that The Concilliators' Guild has joined forces with Human Givens College to present a ground-breaking new course in London this month…
A new approach to tackling radicalisation and conflict resolution…
Many people are beginning to recognise that the human givens insights could have a profound impact if they were more widely understood and acted upon.
“This new paradigm [human givens] is the perfect antidote to many dilemmas facing diplomats today. Much else has been tried and failed. It's time to meet people's needs before they fall into the hands of extremists.”
Michael Bell, former Canadian Ambassador to Egypt, Israel and Jordan
On Saturday June 10th, in London, former Diplomat John Bell and Ivan Tyrrell are presenting a unique workshop: Fear and Political Chaos: How to bring clarity to societal upheaval through the lens of innate human needs – it's open to anyone interested for personal or professional reasons.
If you're concerned about the world today – the increase in radicalisation, polarised politics, terrorism, civil unrest and the suffering of countless refugees – join us for this important event. It will give you the opportunity to delve more deeply into the wider implications of the human givens approach and offers powerful new directions for a way out of the chaos we find ourselves in...
PLEASE NOTE – This course was filmed and is now available as an ONLINE COURSE >
“I can attest to the ‘Human Givens’ approach. Unless the ‘givens’ are listened to and respected, you cannot truly help others… this approach is universally applicable.”
James Larocco, former Head of Multinational Forces of Observers, Sinai, and former American Ambassador to Kuwait
PSA accredited registers listed on NHS websites
The Human Givens Institute's (HGI) professional register of human givens therapists is accreditated in the UK by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA).
The PSA mark of quality assures the general public, service commissioners and employers that Human Givens practitioners belong to a register vetted and approved by an independent statutory body.
As a result of the PSA's work in raising awareness of its accredited registers, the HGI's register is now listed on several NHS websites, see below:
- www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/explore-roles/psychological-therapies/counsellor
- www.nhsemployers.org/your-workforce/retain-and-improve/standards-and-assurance/professional-regulation/voluntary-registers
and the importance of finding a counsellor or therapist who is on a PSA-accredired register is highlighted here:

Mastering our emotions – potential training opportunity in the therapeutic applications of the Perdekamp Emotional Method (PEM).
In a recent edition of the Human Givens Journal (volume 23, no 1), Dr Jane Jones interviewed the originators of PEM. In the article Stephan Perdekamp and Sarah Victoria explained how their technique, which originated in the world of acting, enables people to recognise and manage innate emotional movement patterns, which can lead to better health.
The founders of the PEM approach are rarely in the UK, but are planning to hold introductory workshops this month in London – click here to read more information supplied to us by Jane Jones.
