Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the 1970s.   It is a powerful set of tools and techniques that combined with other disciplines such as traditional coaching, hypnotherapy and timeline therapy enables you to make major improvements in all aspects of your life.

he definition of NLP is;

“The use of the mind’s own language to enable you to consistently achieve your goals.”

Note the emphasis on the word consistently. Most people have set goals, achieved some and fallen short on others. Using NLP means you can be confident of setting effective goals and achieving all of them (see section “More about NLP”).

The subconscious mind accounts for over 90% of our mental faculties and is a huge resource that most people do not use effectively.  The subconscious mind has your wellbeing as its highest purpose, it is there to protect us.  It is what keeps us alive when we are asleep, keeps us breathing and looks after us while our conscious mind does other things.  It also does EVERYTHING that the conscious mind instructs it to do so we need to be very clear about what we are thinking.  We must instruct the subconscious mind to get what we DO want, not what we DON'T want.

NLP works at the level of the subconscious mind and enables you to instruct it to do whatever is necessary to get what you want.  As we go through life we experience negative emotions (anger, sadness, fear, guilt/hurt and anxiety) and create "limiting beliefs" (I can't do.................) that get installed in our subconscious mind.  These emotions and beliefs are what hold us back from fulfilling so much of our potential.  We don't even consciously realise that they are there.  They are often created in our childhood, typically by the major influencers in our lives, parents, teachers, family and other key figures.  Coaching using NLP can re lease these barriers to a successful and happy life and replace them with positive beliefs that serve us well.
