Online NLP Therapy in Australia

1) What is NLP Therapy?

NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming) works with healing past traumas, pain from past or current experiences, conflict and relationship challenges, improving communication and overcoming limiting beliefs. In most cases, NLP leads to improved emotional and psychological health.

You may feel like you’ve got a long way to go or be in a good place and simply want to tweak a few things in your life. An effective NLP Practitioner listens without judgment and can be a great sounding board. An effective NLP Practitioner is empathetic, has excellent listening skills and may be the only person in your life who gives you 100% focus and attention. NLP Therapy is not about giving unwanted advice. Rather it is more a facilitation of change and improvement in a client’s situation.

2) How do NLP sessions work?

You can choose to meet face-to-face at my office at Gables (in Sydney’s northwest) or via Zoom.

We’ll meet for an initial 90-minute session, during which I’ll take note of your personal history and listen to what’s happening for you. I’ll get a detailed understanding of your current challenges and together we’ll outline a plan for working through and overcoming these challenges.

During your first session, you can choose whether I’m the right person for your needs. If so, we will work out the number and frequency of sessions, based on what is best for your situation. Every step of the NLP process is collaborative. I won’t tell you what to do or give unwanted advice. I will facilitate positive change and will always act in your best interest.

3) How is NLP Therapy different from psychology?

While both NLP and psychology can deal with healing mental and emotional pain, as well as creating improvements in your current situation, the main difference is that psychology focusses on diagnosing dysfunction, whereas NLP does not diagnose. Katherine takes a strengths-based approach, viewing each individual as whole and capable of creating improvements in their lives.

4) I’m scared to talk to someone about my problems…

It’s quite natural to feel scared before embarking on a program of personal growth and change. As a member of the ICF (International Coaching Federation), I am bound by a professional code of ethics. I take my ethical responsibility to my clients seriously. From the beginning of your first session, we will discuss my ethical responsibility, particularly confidentiality, so you can feel confident that your best interests are uppermost. Most clients start feeling more comfortable even during your first session. However, if after our first session, you feel that NLP is not right for you, there is no obligation to continue.

5) Who can NLP help?

7) What qualities should your NLP Practitioner possess?

• Behavioural flexibility: feeling comfortable with the unfamiliar, admitting when something isn’t working and being prepared to change direction when needed,
• Self-awareness: a commitment to continued personal growth. A great coach must let go of their ego, continually question and look for better ways of doing things,
• Excellent Communication: listening, clarifying, giving feedback clearly and authentically. Being able to notice what is NOT said,
• Professionalism: adhering to ethical standards, honouring commitments, continual professional development.

8) Is NLP Therapy covered by Medicare?

NLP is not funded by Medicare. However, you may be able to claim sessions through your tax if they are related to your work. If you are on a current health care plan, you will need to speak to a psychologist who accepts the mental health care plan.
