Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

alendi can help with a wide range of difficulties which have traditionally been handled by psychotherapy. We employ human givens techniques for dealing with the following issues:

Issues which we can help

Depression

Depression is one of the most common ailments in our society and rates of depression are rising. It has been widely regarded as a difficult and complex illness. Recent research has shed new light on why people get depressed and stay depressed. Even long term chronic depression may be lifted quickly and effectively by human givens therapists.

See the more detailed explanation of depression including the cycle of depression here.

Post natal depression

Many mothers and some fathers find the adjustment to having a new baby in the family difficult. Human givens therapy can quickly start the process of feeling better by understanding and working with the needs of the individual members of the family. This can help you to enjoy the experience of parenthood and the delights a new baby can bring.

Family issues

Raising children can be tough. alendi has a great deal of experience with children and teenagers. We can offer guidance and help to some or all members of the family. Children or parents who are finding life hard can be given new enthusiasm and confidence in a short period of time by teaching them using a human givens approach.

 Addiction

All forms of addiction can be helped - alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, TV and computer games - providing that the person wants to make the effort to stop. Nicotine is a particularly addictive substance yet we have helped committed smokers to stop smoking completely in just two sessions.

We currently have a special offer to help you to quit smoking - click here to find out more.

Anxiety

Anxiety can be an extremely disabling condition. It can take the form of generalised anxiety, panic attacks, fears, phobias, lack of confidence or overwhelming stress and pressure. All these conditions may be treated swiftly and effectively by a human givens therapist.

Phobia

Phobias can come in many shapes and forms and are not always easy to talk about. Some of us fear spiders, social eating or being in public spaces. The really good news is that all phobias can be alleviated very effectively using the fast phobia cure (which is a refinement of the Visual Kinesthetic Dissociation technique) .

Video - Spider phobia cure

Here is a short (6 minute) video showing highlights from a phobia session in which the client had an unreasonable fear of spiders. A single effective treatment completely and permanently removes the phobia.

Anger

Anger disorders damage health, increase the likelihood of early death and cause enormous misery among relatives, colleagues and innocent bystanders. The human givens approach provides quick, effective treatment for people who find it difficult to control their anger.

Eating disorder

Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge eating disorders are increasingly common in our society. Unless you have lived with someone with an eating disorder it is hard to imagine the effect it can have on a household. Young girls are particularly at risk but anyone can be affected. Human givens offers fast and effective help for sufferers and their families and friends.

alendi therapists have experience of dealing with these potentially difficult disorders.

Obsession and compulsion

When habitual behaviour becomes time consuming and stressful it can overtake you completely. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) can now be helped using human givens techniques.

Children and teenagers

You don't have to be ill to make use of alendi's human givens services. Raising children can be difficult and stressful at times - for some it seems difficult and stressful all the time. The human givens approach is being increasingly used in all aspects of child care and throws new light on how we all learn.

If you are struggling with children who are depressed, alienated or difficult to control then contact us. We work both with individuals and with parents and families to help to harmonise relationships and bring satisfaction and joy back into living with children.

Relationships

Relationship difficulties are often self-perpetuating because our beliefs and reactions to each other trigger patterns of behaviour which stop us solving them. When couples want to stay together but are having problems, human givens therapists can help.

Stress related illnesses

Many physical symptoms can be made worse by worry. Humans givens therapy addresses the needs of the whole person and can help with conditions such as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and Back Pain. If you have concerns about these or any other stress related disorders please contact us for further details.
