I like to call my self an unconventional therapist, this fits so much better with my approach. The techniques I use, the information I retrieve and then how I use that information can be very different to that of a conventional therapist.

 

So what's my definition of a therapist, what's a therapists role? Well to me a therapist is someone you go and see if you have a particular issue that you are aware of that is affecting you and possibly others negatively; the therapists role is to help you change the things you want to change.

 

How I do this is through the use of NLP™ (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Timeline Therapy™ and Hypnotherapy. NLP was born in the 1970's as an effective and rapid form of psychological therapy. With other therapy's much time is spent addressing past times. For some people they feel this completely necessary, they may find some comfort in this process. For others it causes unnecessary turmoil and they wish to deal with the issue without laboriously going over something they are trying so hard to forget.

NLP is more interested in the present state and by using various techniques the unwanted issue is addressed and then a blanket reaction can occur and other issues attached are also addressed...

make sense!? It really is that clever!

 

The time needed to work with a particular issue is often very quick. For instance a phobia is more often than not no longer an issue by the end of one session.I wish I could explain the magic to you but writing books isn't what I do, at least at the moment!

 

 

I love the term 'objective therapy', some may say it appears a little un-emotive or detached, un-emotive no, detached yes. Being detached from your issue gives you so many more choices and simply enables you to see your issue from an others perspective. The tools used enable you to be completely objective, allowing you to be detached from your issue so you can make rational decisions, without the other stuff that so often gets in the way of your rational thought process.

 

Take a recent issue you've had, it doesn't have to be anything too big, just something that didn't appear clean cut, something you had to think about or discuss with a friend or family member before you came up with a solution. Did you come up with the solution or was it someone else? The chances are if you discussed your issue with anyone, they would have had an idea of a solution before you, simply because they were looking at it much more objectively.

 

So when 'you' have an issue and you look at 'your' issue objectively the choices you have seem much more obvious and this in turn often is all that is needed for your solution! By the time you return to the subjective seat the issue has been dealt with. This is something I do with my clients and watching the transformation during a session through using techniques that facilitate this, is so rewarding.
