Juliet's Thought for the Day

The Six Human Needs: A Useful Lens for Therapists

In the tender unfolding of our human experience, there is a powerful lens through which we can understand the deep drivers of behaviour. Human Needs Psychology proposes the six core human needs that live at the heart of every action, every conflict, and every longing for connection or change. These are not mere preferences—they are essential nutrients of the psyche.
