Grahame Brown

I practice as a Human Givens (HG) therapist since retiring from medical practice in May 2025. HG organising ideas have informed my practice of medicine since I gained the Diploma in 2001. This has undoubtedly brought about more satisfactory outcomes for patients. For the past 23 years I have presented over 70 all day training workshops for a wide range of health care professionals on the subject of psychological management of pain and accelerating healing.

For the past 27 years I have specialised in musculoskeletal, exercise and occupational medicine taking a special interest in functional restoration, occupational rehabilitation and persons who experience persistent pain.

I collaborated with physiotherapist David Rogers to establish the combined psychological and physical activity 12 hour functional restoration programme (later renamed the ‘Back to Life’ programme) at The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Trust in Birmingham for persons experiencing persistent pain. BACK TO LIFE – a self help guide for those experiencing persistent back pain is the title of a book I wrote with co-author David Rogers published in 2016 by Penguin Books. I am also author of LIBERATE YOURSELF FROM PAIN, a book co-authored by Denise Winn and published in 2009 by Human Givens Publishing.

I am available to help those who have been living with a persistent or recurring pain problem and is impairing their health related quality of life. I can also help those who would like to withdraw from taking prescribed medications for pain that do not seem to be effective (with the agreement of their GP). I am able to treat the range of anxiety disorders including PTSD, depression, phobias and addictions. Persons diagnosed with ‘functional neurological disorders’ can feel confident that I have experience in helping many make significant and lasting gains in health related quality of life.

I cannot request medical investigations, prescribe medications or give a medical opinion on an undiagnosed problem.
