How to benefit most from therapy

Personal change can be swift or slow dependent on many factors, including personal motivation, the severity and complexity of the problem and how ambitious your goals are.

• Please be patient and come with a positive expectation that therapy will be helpful and productive.

• Speak openly about your ideas of what will help.

• Understand that change often requires practice and perseverance.

• Be aware that no therapist can offer a guarantee of a cure or improvement.

NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming is a set of therapeutic techniques that we can use to change responses. It is essentially the re-programming of the mind and choosing a more positive outlook. It springs from the study of the world’s most effective therapists.

​

The field of NLP has gone past these initial accomplishments to study the patterns, behaviours and beliefs of successful people in all areas of life. What NLP has found is that people that succeed all use the same kind of techniques to communicate with themselves and others. They have the same “mental tool set” that we all have; they just use them in different ways. NLP shows us how we understand our experiences. It is a way of perceiving reality, and of making appropriate interventions that move us towards what we want.

“NLP may be the most powerful vehicle for change in existence.”
