About Juliette Young Therapy

I first came across the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy and counselling about 10 years ago. It really chimed with me as it made so much sense, and was mercifully free of jargon or psychobabble. At the time I was working as a reflexologist, and bringing up my three children, so did not have time to undertake the training, but it was something that stayed with me.

However, in 2011, when my youngest was starting her A levels, I finally began my training and became fully qualified in August 2014. It is one of the most fulfilling things I have ever done. In addition, in July 2014 I qualified in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy which has further enhanced my ability to provide effective help in a short time frame. I began seeing clients from the beginning of 2013, and since then, using a combination of all the skills I have learned, I have helped many people reach their goals, overcome phobias and trauma, overcome depression and anxiety, and much more.

Although I am listed as providing psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, and counselling in addition to Human Givens Therapy, in reality, all of these disciplines, and more, are encompassed by the Human Givens approach. So every session will include an element of hypnosis, (or to give it another name, guided imagery), at the end, so that you will always leave feeling relaxed, and better than you did when you arrived. For more information on Hypnosis, what it is and how it works, please visit my website.

Sessions will always be led by what you want from them, and we will work together to identify your goals for therapy. My sessions are solution focused, so we do not dwell unduly on the past. However, if there are past issues, phobias or traumas that are still affecting you in the here and now, the Human Givens have developed a powerful yet very safe technique to help dissolve those kinds of issues, sometimes in as little as one session, so that you can finally come to terms with whatever happened in the past, and then leave it there, where it belongs. For more information on this see the FAQ page of my website.

Further Information

What are the Human Givens? Put very simply, they consist of the emotional needs that every human being seeks to fulfil in order to live an emotionally balanced life, together with the resources we are born with to enable us to get those needs met. When our resources are intact, and we are using them correctly, and when are emotional needs are being met in balance, then it is inevitable that we will be emotionally healthy and living a life that works. It is my aim, as a human givens therapist, to enable you to achieve that.

The Human Givens has recently been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) http://www.professionalstandards.org.uk/what-we-do/accredited-registers/find-a-register/detail/human-givens-institute

Please allow an hour and a half for your first session - there is no additional charge for this. Thereafter, sessions will be one hour. I use outcome measures, so that we can track how the therapy is going for you, and how well it is helping you, or not. All my sessions are adjusted to fit the needs of the individual client, and this includes hypnosis sessions - I never use scripts. Please feel free to contact me for any further information.
