Seven years ago she gained a Person Centred Certificate, then spent a year studying the transpersonal approach.

She has trained in Solution Focused Brief Therapy as a practitioner and trainer, and in 2006 she gained a certificate in Person Centred Counselling Skills.

She can be contacted on 01263 732784 or 0775 195 9145 or by email at val@humangivenstherapist.co.uk Val has worked for many years in mental health rehabilitation and has spent some of that time in a management role. For over 20 years she has worked with people of all ages suffering from a wide range of mental health problems and emotional difficulties. Her interest in people and mental health was stimulated as far back as the 1950s when visiting long stay wards at Thorpe St. Andrew's and Hellesdon psychiatric hospitals. She has studied and practised many different approaches to therapy in the past, including CBT and Brief Solution Focused Therapy, but when she discovered the Human Givens approach in 1997 she realised it has much to offer, it is both practical and effective. She has a BSc.(Hons.) degree in Care and Education in the Community, a Human Givens Post Graduate Diploma and has been a qualified and practising Human Givens practitioner since 2002.
