Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP can be translated as:

Neuro = Your Nervous System (the mind & body working together)
Linguistic = Language & Communication (verbal & non-verbal)
Programming = The process used to achieve consistent results

A short explanation of NLP

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is now recognised as one of the most powerful methods for creating positive and lasting change in individuals. NLP is unique in that it focuses exclusively on how the results we achieve in our lives are determined by the way we communicate with ourselves internally.

NLP is the process of learning to communicate with your nervous system in a way that consistently produces the results you desire. In other words, it’s knowing how to run your own brain so that you can acquire the kind of life you desire.

To have any experience in life and know whether it’s good or bad you have to communicate with yourself, and it’s the specific way in which you do this that determines the quality of your experience. Often, the difference between someone who thinks they can do something and someone who thinks they can’t is the way they represent the situation to themselves in their minds.

When working with clients I use a range of NLP techniques to help them access their most resourceful states and identify a strategy for resolving their problems easily and positively. This can often create a high level of self-awareness that typically leads to improvements in other areas of their life too.

NLP can help you to:

  • Be more successful by learning to influence your emotional and psychological states.

  • Replace negative behaviours and habits with positive ones.

  • Transform the way you go about everyday tasks.

  • Be more aware of your impact on others and how to manage your behaviour for optimal results.

  • Better understand your own motivations, needs and behaviours and use these positively to have the greatest impact.

  • Better understand your families, friends and colleagues needs, motivations and behaviours.

  • Improve and enhance your interpersonal communication with your loved ones and in the workplace.
