NLP is used extensively and successfully in many different fields such as personal development, health, business, sport and education. Because it can be used both remedially and generatively, it has the power to resolve existing problems as well as enabling positive change, beyond the initial problem. It is perfectly suited for adults, children and organisations.
How NLP can help...
Simply put, NLP is a way to understand how you think, influence and change. The main benefit of NLP is not that you can remember particular techniques, although these are highly beneficial, but that through NLP you can move towards the goals that are important to you in life. It enables you to tap into resources you never realised you had and can also help you to communicate, connect with and influence others – vital skills in all walks of life.
This powerful system can also offer you a doorway to something deeper; once you know how you do what you do, you can use NLP to fully understand your purpose in life and find the answers to true happiness and fulfilment.
In particular, NLP shows you how to:
- Understand how your mind works and how to run it more effectively – thereby giving you more control over how you feel and how to deal with stressful situations
- Be able to choose how you feel rather than being the victim of events
- Design your life – knowing what you want in any area of your life and becoming clear about your goals is a fundamental life-skill shared by all successful people
- Become a better communicator, with your partner, your children, your work colleagues and friends
- Establish rapport – one of the key skills for effective communication
- Deal effectively with the past by learning and moving on from events which happened long ago but may still be holding you back
- Become more successful in key areas of your life, by modelling your own and others’ success strategies and discovering how to duplicate them more often.

How NLP works
Your unconscious mind is the part of your mind that really motivates you and makes decisions for you. So, it is at the level of the unconscious mind that change needs to take place. Access to the unconscious mind is gained through a relaxed state which is achieved conversationally and through building rapport in a relaxed and open way.
Questions and your responses, allow us to explore your way of thinking (ie. ‘your map of the world’), identify what you want, what is stopping you and what is ‘really’ behind some of your behaviours. This also reveals your belief systems and highest values. Attention is paid to what you say and how you say it, to uncover patterns and the programmes you may be running. From this we can identify what needs to change.
Different NLP exercises may be used to introduce new thought processes, change patterns of thinking or initiate new behaviours to help widen your boundaries and territories. This is all done in an informal way with open dialogue. You may be given a few tasks to take away and practice. This will help you become accustomed to any new techniques and practise any new behaviours. Although the main neurological changes will occur during the session itself, they may need to settle in and develop as you get back into the routine of your life.NLP is so effective because it works on finding solutions rather than analysing causes; it is about adding choices and widening perceptions not about dwelling for too long on the problems. NLP aims for practical application and results.
How an NLP Coach can help
Many people go through life realising only a part of their potential, but sensing they are capable of far more. An NLP Coach can assist you in being more of who you can be and free you up from the things that hold you back. They will keep you focused on a vision of long-term excellence in your life and support you through the process of getting there. In this way a coach can add incredible value.
More and more, it is recognised that we have the resources we need within us, but may be unaware of this or don’t know how to access them – a NLP Coach will facilitate this process. Individuals who work with a coach are known to be more effective at work and in relationships, improving their lives as a whole, while professionals who work with a coach can often command higher salaries and are far more successful.
Coaching is a powerful partnership that provides an open and honest structure, feedback and support. By working with a coach, you make a commitment to yourself and to the things you really want, which can help to keep you motivated, focused and on track.
