What is NLP? What is HYPNOTHERAPY?

"Why NLP, Hypnotherapy and Coaching in one course"

The idea at the heart of the training is the realisation that to be a fully competent NLP Practitioner/Master Practitioner or a hypnotherapist or coach you need to understand the core of all three fields.

At the centre of modern (non-script driven) hypnotherapy is the work of hypnotherapist and psychiatrist Dr. Milton H. Erickson. At the core of NLP is his work together with the work of other effective models of therapy. Coaching is primarily derived from NLP & other areas of positive psychology.

It is therefore essential to understand how, where & when to use these skills in a natural and fluid way so as to be a skilful and competent humanistic therapist and coach.

"When I embarked on the course in Hypnotherapy and NLP with Motivation Training I wasn't sure what to expect, or if it was really for me. The style of the course is informal, and very practical. Theory is woven with practice from Day 1, which enabled me to very quickly develop confidence and understanding of the techniques and tools involved. The style of the course - residential, and located in the Highlands - adds quality giving the opportunity to learn alongside others, creating a holistic learning experience rather than 'just another course'.  I thoroughly enjoyed my training, and it has enabled me to now practice as a NLP Practitoner, Hypnotherapist, Motivational Coach and Corporate Trainer. I have made profound changes in my life and am now helping others make changes in theirs". Dr. Karen Darke PhD (author of "   If You Fall: It's a New Beginning").
