LONDON

 Mindcraft Therapy

(Penny Croal & Mark Sheppard)

Location: Chiswick LONDON

Ref No: 192  VALID CPD

NLP Communication for Therapists

One day CPD Course

11^th July 2010, 10am - 5pm

£95

Given the time constraints of a clinical consultation, we can see how essential it is to be able to really communicate with a client and to quickly elicit critical information relating specifically to their condition, allowing us to spend as much time as possible on treatment.  Also for any treatment to be most effective it’s imperative to establish a comfortable client/therapist relationship based on trust, openness and understanding.

Anyone who has considered taking a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner course will already know how expensive that can be. This course has been designed specifically to give therapists with no previous NLP training the most effective communication tools, using the latest NLP techniques without the expense of a full practitioner course.

Outcomes - By the end of the course you will be able to:

* Use state elicitation to be in the most resourceful frame of mind before, during and after a consultation. 

* Understand why you communicate with some clients more easily than with others.

* Be able to communicate fully and effectively with every client.

* Move your client from a negative state to their most resourceful state.

* Build rapport quickly - one of the most essential skills for any therapist.

* Recognise how we use our senses to communicate with our world.

* Literally speak your client’s language.

* Discover how your client builds their unique model of the world and how they can change it.

* Move your client from being under the effect of their lives to being the cause of their lives.

* Understand and elicit your client’s goals.

* Help your clients develop achievable positive outcomes.

NLP is the study of excellence - of what works - and the techniques and skills you will take away with you will not only allow you to communicate and work more effectively as a therapist but they can also be used in almost every situation in your own life including relationships, negotiations and setting personal goals.

You will also take away a certificate of attendance and a course handbook describing all of the techniques covered during the day, plus you will have access to free post-course email and telephone support.

Initially developed for therapists this course has now been taken up by the medical community as a validated CPD course for medical doctors.

Hi. Sir.

I need a hypnotherapist in London who can help me with my problems. I started worrying about getting into a car and driving anywhere. I don’t drive, but I found it difficult getting into any cars, taxis. I then started to avoid public transport and refused to get on a bus, or travel on London Underground. I started to go on the train to work even though it was a longer journey. I then stopped going on the train, and stopped work altogether. My phobia got worse at this point. I seem to be punishing my parents for the way that they have treated me recently, I have shout at them all the time, and then make up the next day. I am very anxious around other people and I only have two friends. I heard that hypnotherapy is used in order to help people with claustrophobia. I have other problems too, though. Can hypnosis be used to help me with my fear of travelling, and my fear of cars and trains. I have been to a hypnotherapist before and he help me to give up smoking. I am still off the cigs, but now I have bigger problems. Thanks. Natalie

Dear Natalie

It sounds like you need some time to work through some of these issues with a psychotherapist or counsellor. My approach combines psychotherapy–specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy–with hypnosis. I feel that hypnotherapy is not a therapy on its own andit should be combined with another form of treatment–nursing, dentistry, psychotherapy, CBT, NLP, cognitive or behavioural approaches. As I say, I use psychotherapy and feel that the support that give is critical in treatment. I should be happy to see you in town. All you need to do is to ring the following number–0207 467 8564.

Dear hypnotherapist

I need some help. I am so anxious and this gets worse when I am near lots of people. When I am in the underground station, I am at my worst. Now, I avoid undergrounds and traffic and noisy places. I heard that hypnotherapy can deal with anxiety, and that hypnosis deals with problems without medication. Is hypnosis safe? I am looking for a specialist hypnotherapist. Can you provide some info about you too. 

Thanks very much

Jenny

Psychotherapist in London

Finding a psychotherapist in London can be a difficult task. What sort of psychotherapist do you choose and how does the process work? There are many different types of psychotherapist. There are Jungian psychologists, Freudian psychotherapists, Kohutian psychotherapists, Adlerian psychotherapists and independent psychotherapists.

London Psychotherapy is one of the top psychotherapy centres in the country. Established in 1971 by Dr Thomas Kraft, the centre has helped many people discover their potential and lead happier and more fulfilled lives. Originally, Dr Thomas Kraft set up at No. 80 Harley Street and the name of his practice was simply entitled: Dr Thomas Kraft, Consultant Psychiatrist. However, in 2004, Dr Thomas Kraft set up London Psychotherapy. In 2008, his son, Dr David Kraft, having been working with his father for several years, set up the company London Hypnotherapy UK. After the death of Dr Thomas Kraft, Dr David Kraft, psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, merged the two companies together: now London Psychotherapy is the specialist partner of London Hypnotherapy UK.
