Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Therapists in Edmonton, AB
I work with people who are feeling stuck in their lives in some capacity - relationships, work, life purpose - and who want to move out of this stuck place.
If you are interested in changing the unconscious patterns that keep you from living the life you desire, I invite you to experience a counselling session with me. My approach is calm, mindful, and respectful. I don't focus on your past. Instead, I work with what is currently affecting you.

Let’s be honest: the world is a dumpster fire right now. Climate catastrophe causes water shortages and wildfires. The implosion of capitalism, which never worked for most of us in the first place, leads to high living costs and an increase in poverty. There’s ramped up rhetoric hating on immigrants, BIPOC, and trans folks. There are ongoing genocides, rollbacks on basic human rights, and politicians who seem hopelessly out of touch with All. The. Things. Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep on keepin’ on, pretending everything’s fine while somehow also navigating our own individual life challenges, problems, and concerns. It's a lot.

I'm best suited to clients experiencing anxiety, stress, being "on edge". Health, relationships, work might be triggers to feeling hopeless, helpless, worthless. In contrast, when have you been feeling better, your better self, very much yourself? Nature, arts, sports, people, work, may be "resources". What do you most want in life, what is your wish list? We take steps to help you learn, incorporating body-mind modalities (What do you want, find the words, imagine/see, feel emotions and body) . Teleconferencing (Zoom, FaceTime) works very well . In person is available.

Men, are you exhausted all the time but struggle to sleep? You try to relax but it just never works and you end up snapping at family/friends? No motivation, leading to procrastination. “What’s wrong with me?” you might ask yourself. "I don’t even feel like myself anymore". Dreading to go to work. Even hobbies or hanging out with friends doesn't bring much joy. Everything just seems so draining! You feel overwhelmed, not good enough, and irritable. Feeling lost and stuck because nothing you try seems to work. You want someone that "gets it" and can help you generate some practical solutions for your relationships, work, and life.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
