Coaching with NLP

The tools and methodologies of NLP to assist clients in both a therapeutic and coaching aspect. NLP is a very outcome specificcoaching tool that encompass skills for identifiying goals, creating motivation, clearing barriers for success and creating a clear pathway to helping a client get to their desired state or goal.

We differentiate therapy and coaching in the following way:

Coaching: assisting a person to achieve a specific goal through cognitive and behavioural encouragement, motivation, enhancement and change. An NLP Coach may help someone with goals such as weight loss, career change, starting a business, creating wealth, life transition, etc.

Therapy: assisting a person to achieve and maintain a new state of emotional, psychological or behavioural awareness. An NLP Therapist may help someone with a fear, anxiety, depression, stuckness, feelings of worthlessness, unwanted behaviours, etc. (see more information on becoming an NLP Psychotherapist)

Ultimately your role as a coach will be determined by the clients that you are seeing. Some coaches choose to specialise in a specific area (ie. relationships, executives, men, etc), while others become more 'generalist' coaches and adapt their style to the topic of the client. The versitality of NLP skills easily allows for a generalist approach.

Here is a general overview of how NLP works as a Coaching Modality:

Coaching is one of the fastest growing fields avaliable - more and more people are understanding that help is avaliable which can assist them to acheive their goals, get out of their own way and make more progress. All clients walk into coaching with a Present State (where they are now) and a Desired State (where they want to be), but often are lacking the skills and knowledge to bridge the gap.

Most Coaches has skills to identify the PS & DS, yet short of motivation and cheerleading, they also lack the skills to help bridge the gap between PS & DS.

This is where NLP Coaching comes in.

An NLP Coach, has the skills necessary to identify two key concepts: 1) what interferences (beliefs, behaviours, emotions, etc.) might be standing in the way from moving from PS to DS and 2) what resources (skills, attitudes, attributes, etc.) are required to bridge the gap. More importantly, once this information has been elicited, the NLP Coach has the knowledge and skills needed to change or clear interferences and access and build resources. Some of these tools and processes include:

Tools for Clearing Interferences		Tools for Accessing Resources
Belief Change Unconscious Pattern Change Reimprinting Change Personal History Parts Integration		New Behaviour Generator Resources Anchor Circle of Excellence Integrating Anchors Perceptual Positions
