Pathways Programme

The study and practice of NLP offers a unique contribution to the field of therapy.

Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy is centred in the deep belief that all experience has a structure, and that people construct their reality. Whilst how this occurs is outside of the Client’s awareness; once revealed, the individual can self model and identify what needs to happen to overcome any unwanted behaviours and attain their desired outcome. In the hands of a skilled NLP therapeutic modeller, the answers can emerge naturally and congruently in line with the whole of the Client’s system.

Therapeutic modelling centres on working with and responding to the client’s underpinning system, with the NLPt skills, methodology, principles and practices within an experiential constructivist philosophy.

We are committed to developing therapists who are inspired by this mindset. We are committed to developing your skills to levels beyond effectiveness - we want you to become efficient and elegant as well.

We welcome practitioners who have a natural pioneering spirit, who are supremely willing to learn to become comfortable with not knowing,, who share the joy of the personal enquiry, and who are humbled by the spirit of human endeavour.
