About Jim Aberdein

People come to see me when they want understanding and fast, effective results.
- My aim is to help you in as few sessions as possible.
- I am an experienced Human Givens counsellor and psychotherapist, practised at enabling people to find the resources they need to gain emotional balance, relief from distress and practical solutions to the difficulties life can throw at us.
- I work with people living with a range of conditions beyond depression, anxiety, panic attacks and sleep disorders, these include phobias, post-traumatic stress, all kinds of addiction, poor concentration, confidence issues and more.

Human Givens is a scientific way of Counselling.
- The Human Givens approach draws on the latest findings from Psychology and Neurobiology about how people really function and what we need to lead fulfilling lives.
- It takes into account research that has established which Psychotherapeutic techniques are the most effective for relieving a wide range of emotional distress and behavioural difficulties.
- Human Givens Treatment starts out with your practitioner finding out about you and the difficulties you are experiencing. More often than not, right from the first session they will also begin using relaxation methods, together with a wide range of other techniques.
- These exercises work to activate your own natural resources and are key to providing you with immediate relief from psychological stress.
