Everyone today is facing many challenges and lack of belongingness within the society. The difficult circumstances that they face are because of limited opportunities, viable employment and health and social services. These challenges that they endure affect them both internally and externally which can be overwhelming and thus inhibits them from reaching their full potential.

Fairytales make you believe that love is easy. Typically there is a hero, a damsel, one fight, and then they live happily ever after. Unfortunately, marriage takes a lot more know-how and support than that. But I do believe in happily ever after! So I specialize in helping parents in marital crises turn their marriage around because I know you want your children not just to see you survive together, but what deep, beautiful love can look like.

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.
