  1. Lucy Wainwright

    Really rich hour and a half. Dense with quality info and lots of ideas.

  2. Elizabeth Spencer

    Useful and practical! Clear webinar with some useful tips for practitioners.

  3. Ingrid Steele

    Really helpful insight, practical information and resources that I can use straight away in my coaching practice. Many thanks indeed.

  4. Susan C, Teacher

    Such a lot of valuable information in a short period of time. As a teacher and parent, all the information was pertinent, clearly delivered and easy to put into practice.

  5. Clare G, Psychotherapist

    I have previously attended a Human Givens course, as part of my ongoing CPD (Psychotherapist). I enjoyed and found very practical the course that I attended in person. Having access to a webinar like this was really useful, as it is difficult to sometimes take time out to attend training in person and I could dip in and out of the webinar, then catch up, at times to suit me. I could also rewind and take notes on bits that were of particular interest to me. I work with adults and young people, and I specifically have a young client who is preparing for her exams who suffers with low self esteem and exam anxiety. So this was very relevant and has given me some useful ideas to try. I would have possibly preferred more techniques and helpful strategies, as opposed to the lengthy background and introduction but I guess that it means it can appeal to a wider audience, who may need more introductory info. Overall I think it provided excellent value for money and I will be looking out for more webinars like this. I am also looking forward to attending the more comprehensive training day on OCD in person later this year and feel grateful the HG college offers both. Thank you very much indeed.

  6. Gavin Roberts, Hypnotherapist

    A fantastic course packed full of practical advice to help students deal with (and conquer) anxiety.
    Gareth’s knowledge of the subject is second to none and he provides good, detailed answers to all questions asked on the webinar.
    If you’ve got a teen struggling with anxiety in school, college, or university do this course with them now! It might just be the very thing that helps free them from the clutches of anxiety and unlocks their potential.

  7. Clinical Psychologist, Retired

    I found it 99 % excellent and need to listen again to absorb much more of the practical relevance. Thank you. Only one reservation, that you seemed to imply that you don’t directly challenge self-harm behaviours within the therapeutic sessions/relationship.
    You have masses more experience, but my view would be to see that as risky. My limited experience suggests that self-harm and suicidal urges are not mutually exclusive, or that there may be a continuum. Many years ago in Clinical Psychology I was taught to see them as distinct but now I don’t. Perhaps you could elaborate? Again, many thanks.

  8. Jane Tyrrell

    Thanks for your feedback and question. Self-harming behaviours and suicide are covered in depth on the following courses Overcoming Self-harm and How to reduce suicide risk.

  9. Lisa Ellis, Counsellor & Wellbeing manager

    Amazing! I work in a Secondary school and most of the students using the Wellbeing Service are experiencing anxiety. This approach really works. I am very excited to continue my HG journey

  10. Sandie W, Birmingham, Voluntary (charitable) HG therapist

    I did this course as part of my CPD requirement and it was an excellent form of revision, with new insights for me about working with young people …. I have usually worked with adults. Clear, precise, confidence-building. I’m looking forward to doing more HG courses via Webinar.

  11. Laurence Metayer

    This is the first time I use Human Given Webinar. I found it very informative. The structure was clear and easy to follow. This will certainly help me in my work with first year university students.

  12. HG Student

    Please thank everyone involved with the human givens approach for making coherent sense of what was, and still is for many people, a right old muddle – it brings all the relevant information about what it is to be human together into a simple whole that enables us to see ourselves and get ourselves together. In an insane age it provides more than a glimmer of human hope.

  13. Lorraine S., Westport USA

    As a hypnotherapist with plenty of experience of anxiety, I found this to be invaluable and a great addition to my work. packed full with useful guidance. thank you.

  14. Magdalena

    Great course. I’ve learned a lot. Clear, useful, encouraging.
