Where did NLP come from and what is it used for?
NLP (Nero Linguistic Programming) emerged in the 1970’s and has applications in the fields of communication, commerce, personal development and psychotherapy. It was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder who studied therapists who consistently achieved excellent results with their clients. In particular they analysed the work of Milton Erickson, Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir and developed methods of modelling their skills so that they could reproduce their outcomes. Processes were then developed to assist clients to make changes in their thinking and therefore their behaviour to achieve outstanding results.

I’ve had counselling previously, will any of these therapies work for me?
Solution oriented counselling, hypnotherapy and NLP are effective therapies that initiate change and personal empowerment. However, no therapy or therapist has magic abilities. Central to the success of any treatment is the clients desire to change what is not working for them. As such they may have to alter personal behaviours or strategies that they have been running for decades, and this takes commitment. The therapist cannot “do” anything to a client, they merely act as a navigator helping the client to reveal blockages and uncover forgotten resources.

Will I have to rake over past crisis and trauma to move ahead?
No. One of the many advantages of solution oriented approaches, hypnotherapy and NLP is that the therapies do not require the revisiting and analysing of past trauma to be effective. All approaches focus on positive outcomes and empowerment.
