What is Neuro Linguistic Programming?
NLP
is the practice of understanding how people organise their thinking,
feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they desire.
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

What is Hypnotherapy ?
Psychological therapy and counselling is the treatment of emotional and psychological disorders,
unwanted habits and undesirable feelings, using psychological techniques alone.
The aim of all such therapy is to assist people in finding meaningful alternatives to their present unsatisfactory ways of thinking, feeling or behaving. Therapy also tends to help clients become more accepting both of themselves and others and can be most useful in promoting personal development and unlocking inner potential.
There are many forms of psychological therapy but Hypnotherapy is distinctive in that it attempts to address the client’s subconscious mind. In practice, the Hypnotherapist often (but not exclusively) requires the client to be in a relaxed state, frequently enlists the power of the client’s own imagination and may utilise a wide range of techniques from story telling, metaphor or symbolising to the use of direct suggestions for beneficial change.
Analytical techniques may also be employed in an attempt to uncover problems deemed to lie in a client’s past (referred to as the “there and then”) or therapy may concentrate more on a client’s current life and presenting problems . It is generally considered helpful if the client is personally motivated to change (rather than relying solely on the therapist's efforts) although a belief in the possibility of beneficial change may be a sufficient starting point.
Regardless of the techniques employed, perhaps the most important thing is that a client should expect to feel comfortable and at ease with their therapist. This is of particular importance in Hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is greatly enhanced when there is confidence in the practitioner. For this reason it is recommended that a single session only is initially booked, leaving the client subsequently free to decide if they wish to proceed with more.
Unlike many other psychological therapies, Hypnotherapy is generally considered to be a fairly short-term approach in which beneficial change, if it is to occur, should become apparent within a relatively few sessions.
