Cost-effective, evidence-based training

Over 12,000 people (including, psychologists, psychotherapists, doctors, counsellors, social workers, teachers, police, clergy, youth workers and interested members of the public) have attended HG courses, seminars and workshops around the UK – and many people travel from overseas to attend.

As a result of their human givens psychotherapy training, HG graduates can help people overcome addiction, depression, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, OCD, anger, stress and even psychosis much more easily and effectively – reducing suffering and costs.

Suitable for all

All of the HG courses are presented in clear language (English) without jargon, so as well as being perfect for CPD training (people receive a certificate on successful completion of each course) for a wide range of professions, they are just as suitable for the interested general public or anyone wishing to embark on a career in psychotherapy or counselling.
