The benefits of NLP

NLP is unique to each individual because everyone has had different life experiences and views the world in their own way.

NLP will:

• Put you in charge of your own motivation;
• Help you create a positive future and your path to it;
• Create more positive feelings and positive mental attitude;
• Change lifelong habits and negative experiences that may have held you back;
• Build new belief systems;
• Help you create access to your peak performance;
• Build better relationships;
• Learn you how to communicate more effectively;
• Improve your self esteem;
• Help relieve traumas.

WHAT IS NLP? 

NLP was created and developed in the early 1970’s by Dr. Richard Bandler and John Grinder. They asked themselves ‘What is it that makes the difference between somebody who is merely competent at any given skill, and somebody who excels at the same skill?". NLP is based on the overall belief that human behaviour has a structure which can be learned, changed and maintained.

NLP is about finding ways you can make changes in your life and improve problems, issues and attitudes. It uses techniques, metaphors, questions and models to help you learn about your particular ways of interacting with the world. This knowledge is then used to give you a clearer understanding of how to be more effective, achieve what you desire and improve your life. 

1. Neuro - refers to our nervous system, the mental pathways of our five senses - the senses of taste, touch, smell, sound and vision.
2. Linguistics - refers to our ability to use language and how specific words and phrases mirror our mental worlds. It also refers to our ‘silent language’ of postures, gestures, and habits that reveal out thinking styles, beliefs and more.
3. Programming - is the study of the thinking and behavioural patterns which people use in their daily lives (their programmes).

With NLP, you can change your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and add new ones that will become just as systematic and regular as the old ones – and a lot more satisfying.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A TREATMENT?

Initially I will need some information about the problem state before moving onto defining what your desired outcomes are. Once we have identified the problem and the desired outcome you will then learn some NLP techniques which we progressively build upon. Once you have learned how to do certain NLP techniques then you will find that you can make changes quite rapidly. NLP techniques are simply and quick to use but can produce profound effects. Client can use many of the techniques outside of sessions to keep their motivation, focus and energy directed towards their desired results.

Any Neuro-Linguistic Programming session is always totally unique to any individual. Everyone has a very unique map of this world, so every session is tailored to meet the individual's needs and requirements.

Some of the NLP techniques which I use with clients include:

• Mirroring & Matching – allows you to get an appreciation of how another person is seeing/experiencing the world
• Congruency – ensures your goals are in line with your beliefs, values and lifestyle
• Anchoring and states – enables you to recall your mental, physical and emotional conditions
• Rapport and trust building – allows you to creates a clear communication channel
• Reframing - allows the pain you have experienced in the past to be re-viewed or ‘reframed’ as a valuable opportunity to grow and extend yourself
• Swish pattern – replaces the unwanted thought or response with a more useful and appropriate one
• Timeline – gets you from where you are now to where you want to be
• Well formed outcomes – focuses on what you want and breaks it down into smaller steps
