Neuro - Lingustic Programming
(NLP)
Neuro-Lingustic Programming is a theraputic technology founded by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. This therapy is based on the work of Physchotherapists Milton H Erickson, Virginia Satir, Gregory Bateson, and Fritz Perls.
​
Unlike other therapies which may require many sessions, NLP is an approach which allows behavioural change quickly.

My NLP training and certification was with both co-founders, firstly John Grinder (NLP Acadamy) and then Richard Bandler (NLP Life Training), and further training with John and Kathleen Lavelle (Pure NLP)​
