Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Using the language of the mind to consistently achieve our desired outcomes.

Have you heard that you have an unconscious mind?  You have and it’s a very hard working mind.  It runs and preserves your body, stores and organises your memories and maintains instincts and habits.  The unconscious mind is critical to our survival, so we need to listen to it and take good care of it.

So how do we as individuals do the things we do, our behaviours?  Would you believe that every second, 2 million bits of information enter our consciousness through our sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.  If we tried to make sense of and store all of that information, we would overload very quickly.  We can actually only handle 134 bits per second of information, so we delete, distort and generalise the rest.  Our unconscious mind instantly filters the information using our experiences, our language, memories, decisions, preferences, values, beliefs and attitudes and builds a rich context around that which it desires to keep.  It is this rich context that gives us an internal representation about an event which in turn produces an emotional state which affects our physiology and produces our behaviour.

As our life experience builds, we sometimes produce emotional states and behaviours that are not helpful to us.  NLP has been developed to help us to understand and modify the internal representations that we form about specific events, allowing us to produce positive emotional states and helpful behaviours.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming was originally developed by Richard Bandler, John Grinder and others some 30 years ago and has since been developed to produce a wonderful trail of techniques which come together to allow us to use the language of the mind and make transformational life changes.

The therapies will allow you to:

• Communicate more effectively
• Discover and modify your life values
• Remove an unwanted behaviour (e.g. stop eating the foods you don't want to eat)
• Remove limiting beliefs about yourself (e.g. I'm not good enough, I can't make enough money)
• Remove phobias (e.g. Flying, animals, foods, heights, the list is endless)
• Remove unwanted habits and addictions (e.g. Smoking, drugs, food)
• Be more confident
• Get instant motivation
• Address unhelpful strategies (e.g. buying stuff that you don't need or checking the door is locked ten times before you can leave the house)
• Improve your spelling and learning strategies
• Decide between two conflicting emotions or paths forward (e.g. part of the time I want to look for a new job, other times I want to stay put, even though I don't enjoy my job)

The list is not exhaustive, but gives some great examples of how you can change your life.  Bring your problem to us, no matter how large or small, and we will resolve it together.

The investment for these life changing therapies is £120 for your initial 1.5 hour consultation and £75 hour for any follow up sessions.
