I genuinely feel this is the 'secret sauce' to effective therapeutic interventions. Working as a therapist myself since the early 2000's I've encountered almost every kind of pathology imaginable. And over many years I've honed not just the techniques and interventions I use, but the delivery of them. After all, communication is key.
You see 'we cannot not communicate'. What this means is that everything we do communicates something - the quality of that communication determines how our clients, friends and colleagues experience reality.
Vital in this is what we say. The primary tool for us as therapists is our voice and the words we say.
Words have a deeply profound subconscious effect and affect on the mind, and can either harm or heal depending on how they are used.
A number of studies, including those from the prestigious Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, reveal that decisions are subconsciously made in a person's brain and as much as 10 seconds before we consciously make them. Those conscious decisions are a result of subconscious processing. This implies the same for the pathological thoughts and feelings our clients experience.
What this means is that the words you say to your clients will be affecting them at an unconscious level before they consciously respond.
Therefore you have a profound window of influence for good
Using precise language and words and understanding their effect is not only essential, it's critical.
That is what you will learn on this course
With the skills you learn in this course you will be able to;
Overcome client resistance by bypassing the conscious part of their mind
Communicate directly with the subconscious and emotional parts of their brains
Help clients painlessly change negative thoughts and feelings
Supercharge and streamline your therapeutic approaches
Transform the way you speak with everyone
This course is the most well received live training when I teach it to mental health professionals
Who this course is for:
- This course is for teachers, therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, social workers, counsellors, mediators, doctors, etc. Anyone involved in helping others

I believe if you’re going to do something - then be the best! It’s my pursuit of excellence and enthusiastically sharing what I've learned that led me to study of excellence and Human Potential itself – Neuro-Semantics, Self-Actualisation Psychology, NLP, & Meta-Coaching. I also hold a Doctorate in Clinical Hypnotherapy (with Distinction), have a degree in Philosophy, and run a thriving coaching and therapeutic practice.
I was an IANLP Fellow Member Trainer from 2009 until retiring from extended public training in 2024, and am still an ISNS Master Trainer specialising in the Neuro-Semantic Self-Actualisation Trainings, based on self-actualisation psychology. I conduct training for many business and government organisations from short courses through to career development trainings which I certify at an international level.
Though also a certified ‘Coach’ with the IANLP; I consider my premium training as coming from the direct tutelage of Dr L. Michael Hall PhD, the developer of Neuro-Semantics. I share Michael’s passion for Self-Actualisation psychology. As a Trainer with the ISNS I graduated the top of my class in 2007 and became a Master Trainer in 2014. I train internationally and speak at conferences worldwide. In 2015 I published ‘How To Chill Out’, my book on stress management and positive communication based on coaching and training I developed after the devastating earthquakes that hit my home town of Christchurch New Zealand throughout 2010-2011.
I'm available to conduct training and coaching worldwide, in person or virtually.
