Neuro-Linguistic Programming sessions

​

NLP is a therapeutic approach to understanding how your mind works. NLP was developed by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who believed it was possible to identify the patterns of thoughts and behaviors of successful individuals and to teach them to others. Neuro meaning mind and how we process information, Linguistic is the language we use, and Programming refers to the behaviour or beliefs we create as a habit or default thought process. I take you on a journey to understand why you do the things you do and how to release self limiting beliefs and replace them with empowering and self motivating scripts to pace forward. Unlike traditional therapy, NLP takes you from where you are to where you would like to be.

​

NLP is a broad field of practice. As such, NLP practitioners use many different techniques that include the following:

• Anchoring: Turning sensory experiences into triggers for certain emotional states.

• Rapport: The practitioner tunes into the person by matching their physical behaviors to improve communication and response through empathy.

• Swish pattern: Changing patterns of behavior or thought to come to a desired instead of an undesired outcome.

• Visual/kinesthetic dissociation (VKD): Trying to remove negative thoughts and feelings associated with a past event.

​

If you are:

• Stuck

• have self limiting beliefs or behaviours

• Lack Motivation

• Struggle with procrastination

• affected by Trauma

• Affected by anxiety and stress...etc

Life Coaching sessions

​

There are many definitions for what coaching is all about. The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as;

“Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”

Life - or 'Personal' Coaching is a solution-focused approach to personal development that can help someone to make lasting change in all areas of their life. Coaches facilitate this change for their clients by empowering them with specific tools and scientifically tested techniques that work.

​

If you are:

• struggling to achieve your goals

• have difficulty in setting appropriate and realistic goals

• struggling to maintain your motivation

• unable to implement a reward system or recognize your progress...etc

​

Basically coaching is a form of development in which a person called a coach supports a learner or client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance.

​

Differences between coaching and mentoring:

​

Coaching and mentoring may use the same skills and approach. Coaching will be contracted to a specific term – which can be extended. Mentoring is often a longer term relationship. A Mentor will most likely be in the same profession, sometimes in the same organization, and usually an experienced practitioner who has already walked the path the Mentee is now walking.

Between coaching, mentoring and counselling many of the processes are similar; and they are generally offered by individuals with different qualifications and different relationships with their Coachee, Mentee or client. Coaching does not include providing advice - rather the focus is on the Coachee / Client’s own thinking. Mentoring will include telling - or offering advice, at times.

​

Coaching

​

· Relationships are contracted for specific periods of time

· Sessions can be more structured in nature and meetings can be scheduled on a regular basis

· Focused on developing strengths and making sought after changes – useful in talent       development, change management and seeking specific solutions to professional challenges

· Coaching does not require the coach to have direct experience of their client’s formal   occupational role - although it is expected that they will have a sufficient understanding of the   business or organizational sphere they are operating in. That is, the Coach will have a command   of the language of; for example, accounting or education or engineering or leadership.

· Agenda is set by the Coachee / Client – the focus will be agreed between Coach and Client   across a coaching series and at each session

· The agenda is focused on moving towards the clients stated goals.

​

Mentoring

 

· Ongoing relationship that can last for a long period of time

· Can be more informal and meetings can take place as and when the Mentee asks for them     around obtaining some advice, guidance or support

· Mentoring can take a broader view of the person

· Mentor is always more experienced and qualified than the ‘mentee’. Often a senior person in the   organisation who can pass on knowledge, experience and open doors to otherwise out-of-reach   opportunities

· Focus is on career and personal development

· Agenda is set by the Mentee, with the Mentor providing support and guidance to prepare them   for future roles

· Mentoring is focused on developing the Mentees career
