Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP, is a synthesis of cognitive and behavioural therapy and was created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in 1975.  Between them they began modelling and duplicating the results of highly successful communicators and therapists such as the hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field, creating a wide range of tools and techniques which achieve very specific results.

NLP is a series of tools and techniques created by Bandler and Grinder that allow us to understand how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour.  Every one of us forms unique internal mental maps of our surroundings as a result of the way in which we filter and perceive information via our five senses. The way we filter information affects our thoughts, feelings, language and behaviour. Our behaviour directly creates an outcome or result.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a powerful, practical and results-orientated method of therapy where you can make changes within a very short space of time – even minutes.  NLP allows you to get control of both your conscious and their unconscious thinking to enable you to live a more integrated and purposeful life.  If your unconscious values, beliefs, decisions and thought patterns are aligned with your goals and objectives, you will achieve them easily.

NLP provides a philosophy or set of guiding principles, attitudes, and techniques about real-life behaviour which allow you to change, adopt or eliminate behaviours, as you desire, and gives you the ability to choose your mental, emotional, and physical states of well-being.  And because you learn these techniques on the course, you will always have the tools you need to make changes when you need to.With NLP, you learn how to grow from every single life experience and, more importantly, find happiness in the NOW.  You can only achieve a better quality of life with these techniques.
