How long do the results last?
NLP's results are usually long lasting. This is particularly true if NLP and Cognitive Hypnotherapy are used in combination. It is also helpful to address the emotional events as specifically as possible. There are often many negative emotions associated with one issue. By clearing one of these emotions does not therefore mean that the treatment is concluded. It may be necessary to deal with all these emotions before the full benefit can be achieved.

How long does the treatment take?
This depends on the type of issue and the progress made. Some simple problems can be resolved very quickly, with most anxiety-based problems responding in 1-4 sessions. Sometimes, with more deep-rooted issues, longer is required. On occasions this can require regular weekly or fortnightly sessions for a period. Each person and each presenting problem is unique and will be treated as such. This means it can be difficult to say in advance that everyone with a similar issue will need the same length of treatment. Please call me to discuss your particular situation and I will be happy to offer free advice. Also see examples of recent successes by clicking the Press button and having a look at the Success Stories page. This shows how long it took to resolve a particular issue with that individual.

What can I expect?
You will be made to feel comfortable and any questions you have will be answered. You will be asked questions about yourself and your issue. The process of expected treatment will be explained. Once the originating negative emotions are identified using NLP processes it will then be possible to re-programme the mind so that you can think, feel and behave in ways that will support you in the future. We will discuss the experiences you had and if necessary, how we need to proceed. Finally, payment for the session is made and any further appointments agreed.

Are drugs used?
No. Never. No drugs or equipment are ever involved. NLP techniques are gentle and safe.

What is the background of NLP?
This technique has been around now for over 30 years and has helped hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life to realise their potential and dreams. Richard Bandler and John Grinder, the Fathers of NLP, started by asking "How do people do that?". They studied how people who were excellent in their field, achieved the results they did. They noticed certain patterns which could be used by others to improve individual performance in many areas. As a result of this initial curiosity, many techniques have been developed to improve people's lives. NLP provides the tools to adapt the behaviours that are not bringing you the results you want, into those that can.

State of the art methods are used for career planning, managing stress, performance coaching - the possibilities are endless. It works on the principle that we have all the resources we need within to be different - we can find immense benefit in resolving issues by rediscovering these 'inner' resources and you'll be surprised at how easy this actually is to do!

Where does the three-part name come from?
Neuro - the thought processes and physical reactions, which are known as our behaviours, resulting from our neurological responses to the information provided by our five senses.

Linguistic - the communication with others and the ordering of our thoughts and behaviours through the use of language - both internally and externally. It is how our perceptions are affected by the words we use.

Programming - the results produced from the ways we choose to organise our thoughts and actions. This enables us to "re-programme" so we can change our lives in the way we want by changing our thinking and behaviour.
