Have you ever felt like you’re your own biggest obstacle? Or noticed how difficult it can be to break old habits, even when you’re determined to make a change? These struggles are all too common – just think of how many New Year’s resolutions are abandoned each year, despite the best intentions.

The reality is, while the desire to change is strong, actually following through can be much harder. But there’s a way to break free from the cycle of setting goals and falling short: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) coaching.

What is NLP?

To understand NLP, let’s first consider why we often struggle to achieve our dreams, goals, and ambitions. While everyone’s aspirations are unique, the reasons we don’t achieve them are often strikingly similar. The subconscious patterns that shape our thoughts, emotions, internal dialogue, and behaviours play a crucial role in every decision we make. These patterns are also responsible for justifying those decisions and dealing with the consequences.

For example, imagine you’ve decided to start eating healthier by making your own lunch every day instead of eating out. You stick to this plan for a few weeks, but as life gets busier, you start skipping the homemade lunches. You rationalize this by telling yourself that your schedule is too hectic and something had to give. Before long, you’re back to eating out most days, with your healthy habit all but forgotten.

This is a classic example of how our choices are influenced by familiar patterns of behaviour. However, with NLP coaching, you can completely rewire how your brain makes these connections, transforming how you think and feel about your habits and routines.

How Does NLP Coaching Work?

NLP is all about the way we communicate with ourselves – how we talk to ourselves, debate decisions internally, and ultimately, how we make those key choices. It focuses on understanding and reorganizing the way you think, feel, speak to yourself, and behave in order to achieve specific goals or improve your overall life and relationships.

Through NLP Coaching, we help you dismantle the barriers you’ve unconsciously built that are holding you back. We identify and reshape those limiting behaviours, beliefs, and self-talk patterns that prevent you from reaching your full potential. In essence, NLP Coaching empowers you to step out of your own way and start moving toward your goals with confidence.

What NLP Coaching Is Not

It’s important to clarify that while NLP can significantly change the way you think, it is not a form of therapy, counselling, or psychoanalysis. An NLP coach is not a therapist unless they have separate qualifications in that field. If an NLP coach does have such qualifications, they may use NLP techniques to complement their therapeutic practice, but NLP itself is a distinct approach.

What to Expect from NLP Coaching

NLP can be applied to target a specific habit or mindset, or it can be used more broadly to enhance your overall life, relationships, and behaviours. The process begins with identifying what you most want to achieve.

We’ll explore any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back – especially those deep-rooted ones you might not even realise are there. The most effective NLP coaches are excellent listeners. They gather extensive insights into what’s hindering your personal and professional growth by hearing about both your successes and setbacks. From there, using techniques tailored to your individual needs, they help you break free from limiting thought patterns and replace them with empowering ones that enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.
