More about Paul Yeomans

Trainee Human Givens Psychotherapist

Available at the Centre on Mondays and online

Works with over over 16s

Welcomes both private and NHS referrals, and Employee Assistance Programmes. 

Holds an Enhanced DBS certificate.

Alongside that career I have been involved in the mental health sector on a voluntary basis since 2015, including as a trustee of York Mind and The Retreat and as a Mental Health Act Manager for Leeds & York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

In 2024 I began training formally as a psychotherapist, building on an earlier MA in Interdisciplinary Psychology, and I'm currently completing my supervised practise through the Human Givens Diploma, with full qualification expected November 2026.

My approach: I work within the Human Givens approach: practical, solution-focused therapy that looks at what's not being met in your life right now, rather than dwelling only on the past.

Sessions are collaborative: we build a clear picture of what's going on, then work on concrete ways to move you forward, often within a small number of sessions.

I work with people with a wide range of everyday difficulties: anxiety, low mood, stress, low confidence, burnout and the strain that comes with significant life changes. I offer a calm, practical and non-judgemental space to think things through. My practice is supported by regular clinical supervision and sessions are currently offered at a reduced cost whilst I finalise my qualification.

Qualifications: MA Interdisciplinary Psychology, Leeds Beckett University (2019, distinction); Human Givens Psychotherapy Diploma Part 2 (distinction), Human Givens Institute (planned completion of qualification Nov 2026)

Other specialist training and interests include: I have additional training in OCD and neurodiversity, and a particular interest in health anxiety. I offer an affirming space for people exploring questions of identity.

Memberships: Graduate Member, Human Givens Institute
