"NLP is an attitude which is an insatiable curiosity about human beings with a methodology that leaves behind it a trail of techniques." Richard Bandler (co-creator of NLP)
"The strategies, tools and techniques of NLP represent an opportunity unlike any other for the exploration of human functioning, or more precisely, that rare and valuable subset of human functioning known as genius." John Grinder (co-creator of NLP)

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

This therapy looks at how  we do things in order to achieve a model of excellence. It is possible to study the language patterns, beliefs and mannerisms of someone in order to illicit change. NLP is often used in the business world but it is just as valuable in a therapeutic setting, to enhance performance, remove obstacles and eliminate unhelpful patterns of behavior.

NLP looks at different aspects of ourselves as human beings,

  • Our Communication (both verbal and non-verbal),
    • So what are we communicating? Is what we intend to convey the same as what the listener understands? If not, how do we recognise the cues and adjust?
  • Our Language
    • Language affects how we think and respond. The very process of converting experience into language requires that we condense, distort, and summarise how we perceive the world.
  • How We Experience the World
    • NLP is a tool to calibrate and understand how an individual makes sense of the world. NLP studies the experiences of an individual; how our thoughts, actions and feelings work together to produce our experience.
  • Modelling Excellence
    • NLP processes and strategies have developed as a result of discovering how experts or excellent leaders do what they do so well; it is then possible to teach these skills to others.
  • Taking Control
    • the images, sounds, and feelings that make up our inner and outer world.
