Neuro Linguistic Programming FAQs

What is NLP therapy used for?

Neuro-linguistic programming can be used for any kind of problem that is in the way of your life. It’s useful for unwanted habits, responses, phobias, negative thoughts, grief coaching, stress and anxiety. It’s a kind of self confidence therapy for these issues and the like. It’s fast and lasting because it works with your unconscious drivers, which govern everything.

 

Is NLP scientifically proven?

NLP originally started with a set of processes repeatedly used by the top-most successful psychologists in the business, which worked, but nobody could say why! Today, these processes have been developed over decades of trial and error. Now more and more science is giving us answers as to why and how these practices work, which is amazing.  

 

Can NLP help with weight loss?

Most people with weight issues have an unhealthy relationship with food. They use it as a comfort, a reward, a celebration and sometimes it’s an addition. NLP looks at the patterns running in the background which may not be in the clients conscious awareness and works with cause. NLP is excellent when dealing with weight loss issues.   

 

Can NLP help with anxiety?

Anxiety comes in many forms and people experience it differently. It causes havoc and prevents people from doing life as they would wish. Neuro-linguistic programming for anxiety is the shortcut to the root cause in a person, even if they don’t remember how or why it started.   

 

Can NLP help with OCD? 

OCD is very common however each person does their unique version of it. The obsessive compulsion is driven by the unconscious mind that thinks it’s serving an important purpose. NLP is excellent at getting to this root cause and the client will then be able to honour that purpose in more useful ways and drop the need for this behaviour.   

 

How can I stop overthinking?

In order to stop this overthinking it’s important to understand the positive intention of it. This will be different for everyone and driven by the unconscious mind. Once this information can be elicited through NLP processes the drivers for the behaviour will cease in favour of a better way of achieving that goal.   

  

How do I stop being afraid of public speaking?

People have all sorts of beliefs about what happens when they do public speaking. “The audience will mock me, I’ll be asked awkward questions, I won’t be good enough, I’ll stumble over my words”. Beliefs are not facts and fear is optional, so through NLP coaching we will find the cause of your fear and change it at the root.     

 

How much does NLP therapy cost?

This depends on who you go to and their level of experience. It’s important to remember that you will get very fast and lasting change using NLP. Whilst it might be more expensive per session you will not be going every week for months or even years. Overall it will be a cheaper option. See my booking page for pricing.     

 

Are your NLP sessions in person or online? 

I do both but online NLP coaching is my usual because my clients are worldwide. Over the years I started off doing face to face, but I have realised the results are just as good on a video call and my clients do not have the bother of traveling long distances or adding that to the cost.
