Modelling & Coding
If you want to model excellence in yourself and others, then you will want to elicit the strategies that are run that enable excellence behaviour. By eliciting, understanding and utilising someone else’s strategy, you will be able to feedback into their programmes for decision making, mode their strategy and use it for yourself, or model it and use it to train and support others in a particular skill. It may be modelling motivation, or decisiveness, perhaps confidence or the ability to influence others. You will gain a deeper understanding of behavioural strategies at play and discover what makes an individual demonstrate excellence in the area that you choose to investigate with your modelling project.
Coding
Modelling is replicating human excellence, and the NLP process of modelling involves deeper understanding of an individual’s strategy. Elicitation of the individual patterns of thinking and behaviour that result in the excellence. Coding describes those patterns in terms of the distinctions made by the person who you choose to model. Their thinking patterns, their internal language and imagery and the submodalities of these.
Imagine writing code for a computer, you know and understand all of the detail that creates the result. The result is often the only thing that the user sees and experiences and yet, so much has gone into the creation!
Our own programming is also a code, a combination of so many factors and your modelling project will allow you to go beneath the surface and understand so much more about the coding. Often, the subjects of modelling projects are just as enlightened as the you will be. A thoroughly enjoyable experience of learning and insight. What area of excellence will appeal to you?

Motivational Interviewing
About Motivational Interviewing Training
Motivational Interviewing is an excellent resource for working with stuck or resistant clients, Linguistics at a super-advanced level, Hypnotherapy and Timeline Therapy (TM), Clean area/space/linguistics, Modelling, Coding and Breakthroughs. It helps build a toolkit that is bigger and stronger than you’d ever imagine. Ready to support others in their transformations and success.
Outcomes for psychological therapies have not improved in over 60 years. We produce the same range of outcomes today as were achieved in the 1940s. At the same time, client needs have become more complex with significant increases in adolescent onset mental health problems. The average range of anxiety of young people today would have been diagnosed as clinical in the 1950s, and young people carry these complexities into adult life.
The course examines the common factors of what works in talking cures. The content of the course transcends any one specific therapeutic approach or practice setting. It will be immediately applicable for practitioners who work with a broad range of clients and in all settings including one-to-one, family or group formats. As such it will be helpful to those in private practice, as well as those who work with clients with complex needs. Based on the latest research findings, the skills elements are practical and immediate and enhance what you are currently doing. This means the course will improve effectiveness immediately with little adjustment to the current approaches that practitioners have already mastered.
Clean Language
Welcome to the space of Clean Language, where limiting yourself to a few simple questions paradoxically leads to a space where clients feel deeply safe and acknowledged, where they are able to explore their own experience without outside influence or judgement, and create their own solutions to getting the outcomes they want.
As a facilitator, you learn how to invite attention into the client’s body, into the client’s metaphors and into space in ways that access resources and create deep insights and change for the client.
Welcome to a journey deep into the wonderful uniqueness of your clients’ inner worlds.
Linguistics
Think about any conversation that you have had recently. As you think about it notice that whatever the person said to you “forced” an internal representation on you. That has to happen for you to have made sense of what that person said.
Now consider that I just did exactly the same thing to you when you read the previous sentence. And again for that sentence and obviously this one. For you to make sense of what I have said you have to make those internal representations.
Now consider what happens when you do something “unusual” in the conversation. Perhaps use an unusual word, perhaps draw attention to it by putting quotation marks around it. That might change the emphasis, the importance or the connotations of that word to yourself.
This is what happens in every conversation whether you are talking to yourself, listening or reading as a passive listener or as part of an ongoing dialogue. We do this to each other and ourselves constantly. And for the most part completely unconscious of the impact we have.
Now imagine you understood how to structure your language in such a way that you create internal representations on the listener (reader, client, yourself) that creates motivation to change or react.
And as you practice your skills you may well find that the most difficult thing about linguistic change patterns is not to laugh out loud as the people around you have more fun, are inspired to do more and have better lives as a result of the conversations you have with them.
LANGUAGE/SPACE/TIME – and EMBODIED COGNITION
How often have you approached a situation certain that you know the answer already? And how often has that “certain answer” trapped you, possibly prevented even better results? Most certainly this will have prevented greater creativity around solutions, or prevented connections or deeper communication.
Embodied learning, thinking in space and thinking with peers are useful ways to prevent presumptions or pre-knowing a situation – meaning you can approach it with pure curiosity and an open heart and mind.
Curiosity is a way of being – open and empty, ready to be filled by your clients’ intrinsic knowledge. We work to consider using the physical space and time around you as a co-facilitator and coach for knowledge and learnings.
BREAKTHROUGHS
One of the main aims of this Master Practitioner Programme is to equip you with even greater skills to enable you to bring about change in yourself and to help others change. This will be based on developing your abilities to carry out breakthrough sessions and coaching sessions.
Sometimes a client will want to make career or relationship changes in their life or may want to explore the issue that is preventing them from moving forward in their live and achieving what they want. They may want to create a different future for themselves, perhaps feeling like they are stuck.
A breakthrough session can help someone explore and unpack what is really important to them, what are those things that motivate them and how are they creating their life experiences. It will support them in clearing negative beliefs and emotions that prevent them from progressing and living the life they want. It will support them in identifying key issues that drive their actions and make positive changes. Breakthrough sessions may typically last 3 – 8 hours, with breaks or perhaps over a few days and can be hugely powerful.
You will experience your own mini breakthrough session with the support of a fellow Master Practitioner learner, as well as coaching and guiding someone through theirs.
Pulling it all together
As you have already discovered, NLP is about excellence. We achieve the results that we do by running programmes that enable us to be excellent, or not. When we go about our lives, we generally do all of this unconsciously, with our behaviours being second nature to us. An unconscious programme runs all of what we do, so that we can get up each day and live our lives without having to think about everyday activities consciously. These programmes are called strategies and your Master Practitioner programme will involve you completing a fascinating and insightful Modelling Project.
The strands of success that will pull this course together are presented by Julia Bickley and Sue Haswell. Together this lively duo will facilitate your journey. We will be bringing all your deep learnings together, to create a Master Practitioner experience that is unique, lively and fully equips you with the master skills to go further, deeper, longer.
Method of Delivery:
The NLP Master Practitioner course uses a wide variety of learning approaches including presentations, pairs and small group work exercises and self-assessment. In addition to future-pacing, projection and visualisation. Parts of the course is also supported with e-learning and further resources to re-cap, review and refresh learning.
You may be asked to complete homework, as part of your learning experience. And to test and try out various tools and techniques in different settings.
You will receive a full NLP Master Practitioner Manual, and separate documents from each trainer.
FLEXIBILITY
If 2020/21 has taught us anything it is the need for behavioural and mental flexibility, and therefore we request that you apply the same flexibility of thought towards the programme.
Because it IS possible that certain trainers won’t be able to attend certain dates, it is possible that things will need to be shifted and changed.
And we will do our utmost best under all circumstances to ensure that you have a high quality training, so please embrace the spirit of adventure, and let’s journey together to make this an exceptional training that we all enjoy.
