NLP, short for Neuro-Linguistic Programming, originated from research into the brain and neural language functions. It’s a field that explores how our thinking influences our behavior. Simply put, it’s a toolbox for understanding and optimizing the way we think and communicate, helping us overcome obstacles to achieve what we want.
NLP can support us in navigating challenges and realizing our desired states of being in life.
NLP was founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder over forty years ago. Drawing from psychology and linguistics in the 1970s, they observed successful therapists like Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls, and Milton Erickson. By analysing their techniques, they discovered predictable patterns in human behaviour and language, which they believed could be replicated for positive change.
I first encountered NLP at Tony Robbins’ “Unleash the Power Within” course in the early 90s. Inspired by its principles, I pursued further learning, which supported me personally and professionally during a challenging time of transition. I completed various certifications, including NLP Master Certification, Hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy and acquired Counselling skills, a Diploma in Coaching and NVC Certification, I set up private practice over 20 years ago.
I have continue to deepen my skills and experience, learning from many clients, teachers and mentors.
I offer NLP processes, during coaching sessions which support the transformation of limiting beliefs, behaviours, fears, conflicts, phobias and working with trauma.
We uncover subconscious patterns that no longer serve you and embed and anchor positive states that can rocket-fuel your desires, so you are inspired by a compelling future.
We work together in a mindful and fluid way to support you in taking the actions to realise your goals. NLP has certainly helped me achieve my dreams!
NLP can empower you to make conscious choices which will enrich your life – helping you realise your purpose and removing obstacles.
The intention of NLP is to improve the way we think, communicate, and behave towards ourselves and others. It has a very ‘can do’ and a positive approach to supporting wellbeing.
