NLP ‘The Art and Science of Therapy Excellence’

NLP (Neuro–Linguistic Programming) is the study of human excellence. It is an attitude and methodology that generates a range of cutting edge therapy techniques which lead to rapid and long lasting change in clients.

NLP was originally modelled on the exceptional skills of famous therapists such as Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls and Frank Farrelly to name but a few. This is the ultimate tailored therapy training programme for those who are working as a therapist or alternative health practitioner.

The training is a CPD course open to any therapist who wants to learn some of the state-of-the-art psychological techniques to get better results, and is tailored to integrating NLP within your existing therapy model.

This programme assumes you already have some of the key basic skills that are often taught on NLP courses such as rapport and cuts straight to the chase by uniquely teaching the best NLP therapy techniques!

Accreditation and Licence

On completion of all of the above modules you will be granted a licence to practice as a NLP Practitioner by the Society of NLP, the first and largest NLP certification, training validation and quality control organisation in the world. Furthermore, as a reflection of the pedigree of your training your certificate is personally signed by the co-creator of NLP Dr Richard Bandler.

On completion of this training you can continue your development by completing the licensed Master NLP Therapist programme as a stepping stone to becoming a licensed NLP Coach. Full details are available on this website.

NLP Therapist Practitioner Course Aims & Objectives

Learn to:

• Generate goals for clients that are well formed and set up in a way that will motivate them to achieving them.
• Access positive and resourceful states both for you as a therapist and for your clients.
• Gain the ability to utilise the process of how behaviour is created, maintained and changed to support rapid change.
• Eliminate clients unwanted behaviours, compulsions and habits quickly and with ease
• Master your own emotions and run your own brain to maximise performance as a therapist.
• Develop flexibility in your behaviour and outlook to gain a creative edge as a therapist particularly when working with more difficult clients.
• Eliminate fears and phobias and reprocess trauma so your client can move on.
• Be able to use language with greater precision and elegance to influence others
• Use the mind power techniques of top performing therapists to accelerate your personal and professional growth.
• Use altered states such as hypnosis to support visualisation and mind programming.
• Elicit, change and install new strategies in clients that can help them move forward.

The training can be run over 10 x one to one modules (90 minutes) that can be arranged to suit your commitments if you live locally or 3 days fast track intensively if you are travelling from another part of the UK or abroad. Self study is required in addition to the one to one modules to support the learning and a comprehensive manual and reading list will be provided. You will also receive a NLP Technique Step by Step DVD and Inner Space Series™ hypnotic audio programmes to integrate your own well formed outcome and support setting up your own anchors.

I have run and assisted on a variety of NLP training courses over the years and on a week long course you will get the opportunity to practice each technique once or twice. Is this enough to be really good at it? The answer is NO, the key is to be putting the skills into action in real life immediately and using them on yourself first so you know how they work. Everything you learn in NLP, you can practise on yourself or in everyday communication, therefore there are always plenty of opportunities to use and hone your new found NLP skills. However, to gain more practise with like minded people and refresh your skills, you gain complimentary access to my NLP Boot Camps that are run regularly when you enrol on this programme.

I have regularly trained this programme as a 6 day group training for a number of colleges and organisations over the years, therefore if you are an organisation that wants to run this programme for your therapists, please enquire for more details.

NLP Therapist Practitioner Course Group Training

Group Training (min 5 people) is available for this course over seven days. This is ideal for therapy colleges and complimentary therapy centres or clinics.

You organise the venue and facilities, I come to you and deliver the training. Call for more information and a quotation.

Group training is excellent for not only facilitating the learning of NLP but also for team consolidation and integration, essentially using the learning and practising of NLP to develop the group dynamic. Therefore group training of NLP can facilitate change in more ways than one!

In a group dynamic, delegates can sometimes be reserved because they don't want to discuss or work with certain issues in front of colleagues or fellow delegates for fear of being judged.Therefore in order to benefit most from the training particularly with more personal issues that a more confidential one to one approach is more successful with delegates. This also enables individual coaching that is specifically tailored to what the delegate needs to develop further both in terms of content and learning style. John Plester training is unique in that he can create a programme that integrates the best of both - one to one NLP coaching in conjunction to tailored group training such as the NLP Boot Camps with the objective of providing comprehensive NLP training to the level required for the individual delegate.

Mike Buckley, Hypnotherapist

‘The one-to-one NLP Practitioner course is an ideal way to learn the theory and practice of NLP. My working one-to-one with John, you have the freedom to ask John to tailor the course specifically to your own needs. This is an ideal way to gain Continuing Professional Development, in a time
limited working environment. The weekend ‘NLP Boot Camps’he offers as part of this training, give you the opportunity to gain practical experience, working with others. I came away with new knowledge, skills and more importantly, the confidence to pass on what I have learn’t to others.’

Andrea Rippon, Staff Development Officer, University of East Anglia

‘I really enjoyed the NLP One to One Practitioner Training and am delighted with the new skills that it has given me for my ‘tool box’. The style of presentation was well paced and easy to understand, with a good balance of theory and practical exercises. The One to One nature of the training allowed for time to focus on particulalr areas and to tailor the learning to my individual needs. John’s delivery style is friendly and approachable, combined with a wealth of knowledge and practical experience (and a good sense of humour!), which is beneficial to any student.

L S-J, Empowerment Coach

‘I thoroughly enjoyed attending John’s training programme. This course has further equipped me with useful skills which were complimentary to my previous training’

A.S, Human Givens Psychotherapist

‘John Plester was able to bring the NLP skills to life and give me the tools to manage my actions within a challenging workplace so that I could enhance my abilities to support people who are coping with a wide range of life difficulties. On a personal level the training has given me confidence
to follow my own path and trust in my own decisions. It has allowed me to address past, present and future, building on strengths and giving me the tools to develop and change areas that I had previously thought fixed and out of control.’

I.B, Youth Therapist

'As a newly licensed NLP Practitioner, attending the John Plester NLP Boot Camp gave me an opportunity to hone and practise my skills within a monitored environment. I now feel fully equipped to work with real clients, wheras before I was a little hesitant. Within a week I had my first client booked in. I tackled the appointment confident in my abilities and truly consider that the outcome for both client and coach was far more beneficial having invested the time to attend the Boot Camp. Thanks, John!'
