NLP coaching: change the patterns, not just the story

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a set of practical tools for noticing how you think and talk to yourself, and changing the patterns that aren’t helping. NLP coaching focuses on what you do and how you do it, rather than digging endlessly through the past.

Where NLP comes from

NLP was created in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. I trained directly with Richard Bandler and qualified as an NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner with him, and as an NHR® practitioner. I went on to complete Advanced Master Practitioner and Advanced Therapeutic Specialist training with another trainer, and Design Human Engineering (DHE) with John LaValle.

What it looks like in practice

We find the pattern: the way you frame a situation, the pictures you make in your head, the voice you use on yourself. Then we change it by rehearsing something different until it becomes natural. Overthinking, decision fatigue and loops of worry are typical things people bring.

Does NLP work?

Honest answer: NLP is a practical toolkit, and research on it is mixed. What I can say is that clients tell me it’s useful, and I’ll tell you straight if I think it isn’t working for you.

Not therapy

This is coaching, not psychotherapy or medical treatment.
