Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) explores the relationship between our thoughts, language, behaviour and emotional responses. It uses a range of practical techniques intended to support positive changes in the way we think, feel and respond. NLP is used in various settings, including personal development, therapy, business and sport.

Influenced by psychotherapy and conversational hypnotherapy, NLP focuses on the patterns and associations we develop and how these may shape our experiences. Its techniques are designed to help you work towards desired changes in a focused and practical way. Some people find NLP helpful for developing confidence, improving focus, managing fears and making their goals feel more achievable.

During our session, we will explore techniques that may include:

Pain control - Using attention, imagery and other strategies to help manage the experience of physical discomfort.

Working with distressing visual memories - Using imagery-based techniques intended to reduce the emotional intensity associated with certain memories.

​

Anchoring - Using association to help you access a desired emotional state.

NLP techniques are often designed to be focused, practical and relatively brief. Many other techniques are available, but these are among those our practitioners use most frequently.

The session offers an introduction to NLP and an opportunity to discuss other approaches that may be appropriate for your individual needs.
