Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP is the practice of understanding how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they do. NLP provides people with a methodology to model outstanding performances achieved by geniuses and leaders in their field. A key element of NLP is that we form our unique internal mental maps of the world as a product of the way we filter and perceive information absorbed through our five senses from the world around us.
Neuro: Each individual has established their own unique mental filtering system for processing the millions of bits of data being absorbed through the senses. Our first mental map of the world is constituted of internal images, sounds, tactile awareness, internal sensations, tastes and smells that form as result of the neurological filtering process. The first mental map is called ‘First Access’ in NLP.
Linguistic: We then assign personal meaning to the information being received from the world outside. We form our second mental map by assigning language to the internal images, sounds and feelings, tastes and smells, thus forming everyday conscious awareness. The second mental map is called the Linguistic Map (sometimes known as Linguistic Representation)
Programming: The behavioural response that occurs as a result of neurological filtering processes and the subsequent linguistic map.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a clinically and research-proven therapy for mental health problems. CBT can help people to change how they think “Cognitive” and what they do “Behaviour”, which can be an effective tool for people suffering from mental health problems. Behaviourtherapy helps people reduce the connections between difficult situations and their normal reactions to them, such as fear or depression and self- defeating or self-damaging behaviour. It also teaches them how to calm the mind and body, so they can feel better, think more clearly, and make better decisions.
Cognitive therapy teaches people how certain thinking patterns cause symptoms by giving a distorted picture of what's going on in their life and makes them feel anxious, depressed or angry. When combined into CBT, behaviour therapy and cognitive therapy provide very powerful tools for stopping the symptoms and getting their life on a more satisfying track

Life Coaching Life Coaching is a technique to enable you to assess yourself, your situation or problem and to develop the skills you already have to tackle the situation or problem by increasing your motivation and willingness to do so. By setting clear and realistic goals the therapist is able to work with you on a regular basis to encourage motivation and goal achievement. Life-coaching sessions at my practice in Hertfordhsire may involve a combination of NLP, CBT and Hypnotherapy techniques.
