Therapy for the Conscious and Unconscious Mind
The concept was created in the 1970s in Santa Cruz California by philosopher and psychologist Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder. They were modelling the best of the best in terms of performance and results in the field of psychology and communication.
From that they put together a set of practices. These were designed to address a whole range of issues a psychiatrist or therapist would encounter.
These practices have been developed over the decades. So now can be exceptional and extremely fast compared to traditional therapies which could take several weeks or even months. The difference is NLP works with both the conscious and the unconscious mind.
The Art and Science of Personal Excellence!
When using NLP it is common to have positive change within one or two sessions, often with exceptional results.
NLP is now widely used in counselling, education, coaching and business for more effective communication, personal development and accelerated learning.
In short NLP is the art and science of personal excellence.
NLP works much like peeling an onion and what lies at the core is often very simple!
It’s like nothing you have experienced before. It will deal with the heart of the problem at source.
