If we are responding more to our fears and events and things in the outside world, than to our own desires and passions, we are not going to end up anywhere useful.

Counselling is a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish good mental health, wellness, education, and career goals. It is a process that occurs between a client and a counsellor over a period of time and multiple sessions, which may explore difficulties being experienced by the client due to negative emotional states or external stress. Our frames of reference are extremely important for making decisions that are consistent with our values, aligned with our preferences, and relevant to our past experiences.

 

Benefits

Counselling is described as a journey towards self-actualisation.

The heart of Counselling is unconditional acceptance, unconditional positive regard, empathy, and to identify the heart of the person. (no, words, labels, beliefs, prejudices and so on)

At the centre of the Human Givens theory is the belief that all humans have an inherent set of emotional needs which motivate and drive their thoughts and behaviours throughout life.

We have physiological needs such as food, water, shelter, clothing and warmth which ensure our survival; but we also possess more complex and mature emotional needs which, when met, allow us to grow and thrive as individuals, and if not met can cause mental distress.

 

Benefits

To appreciate that if our core emotional needs are not met, we tend to become more susceptible to debilitating emotions such as depression, anxiety and procrastination.

It’s important that we have a comprehensive understanding of all emotional core needs so that we  can identify those which we need to address.
