An NLP practitioner can help with all kinds of problems such as depression, anxiety, stress, smoking, phobias, eating difficulties, etc.

Stewart Robertson, EFT Therapist, Neuroscientist, Author
Having
always had an interest in psychology, I graduated in 1998 from University
of Glasgow BSc
Neuroscience – the study of the brain and
nervous system. I use this cross-contextual biological and psychology knowledge
to custom design the best solutions for my clients and help them realise the
change they want as FAST as possible.
I’m continually developing my experience in EFT and consulting with other practitioners in the field. I’ve helped and trained administrators, financial professionals, IT consultants, stockmarket traders, housewives, and many more to use their brain effectively and take control of their lives right now.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - rebalance the emotional upset of your problem, at the source.
'Simple Technique. Dramatic Results'
EFT is suitable for phobias, anxiety, guilt, anger, panic attacks, fears, sadness, traumatic memories, war trauma, life transitions, abuse, conflict, bullying, etc or just some situation in life you’d like to feel better about.
EFT is about helping you feel better, and not about controlling external circumstances.
Sessions are weekly, and normally last an hour.

Ann MacInnes
Person Centred Counselling
What is
counselling / psychotherapy ?
The words counselling and psychotherapy are used almost interchangeably. Both words refer to ‘talking therapies’, although they may also involve the use of creative arts and movement. In therapy, the client has a ‘safe space’ where their confidentiality and their way of being are respected. The appointment with the therapist gives time to explore what is troubling/puzzling/irritating them.
Counselling and psychotherapy work by giving the client the chance to work through what has been happening to them and their reaction/s to this. Have you ever had a moment like a light bulb going on, when you were trying to work something out that was new to you and then, suddenly, you understood how that piece of information worked? When a client is in therapy there will be numerous bits of information and then the lightbulb moments, which enable the client to make sense of what was unknown before within their way of looking at life.
You may have heard of different approaches to counselling and psychotherapy, such as, Person Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy but research done into what makes counselling and psychotherapy effective have shown that it is the quality of the relationship the client has with the therapist that is most important. To me, if the client feels respected, safe, heard, and their efforts to understand what is happening for them are appreciated, then they can achieve the objectives they have set themselves in therapy.
About
me
I am a BACP Accredited
counsellor and UKRC Independent Practitioner working in Airdrie and by
arrangement in
I originally trained as a counsellor in a Humanistic approach and was awarded my Postgraduate Diploma in 2000. While working with clients I have continued my training including the Primary Certificate in Person Centred Expressive Arts and I am a qualified Counselling Supervisor.
I have a special interest in clients who had experienced trauma or abuse in their lives that seems overwhelming to them and I also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is specifically for helping survivors of trauma and abuse.
I have now also completed the Level 1 training in Emotion Focused Therapy which research has shown to be highly effective. Please note that Emotional Focused Therapy-EFT- is completely different from Emotional Freedom Technique another way of helping clients which shares the same initials.

In this book, you’ll learn how to use The Secret in every aspect of your life – money, health, relationships, happiness, and in every interaction you have in the world. You’ll begin to understand the hidden, untapped power that’s within you, and this revelation can bring joy to every aspect of your life.

By applying the knowledge of The Secret, they bring to light compelling stories of eradicating disease, acquiring massive wealth, overcoming obstacles, and achieving what many would regard as impossible.’ – from the foreword of The Secret.

‘It’s
your birthright to live a life that is good – and this book will show you how

‘The
message here is quite startling and yet oh-so-simple – you came from a Source
of love and well-being. When you are matched up to that energy of peace and
love, you then regain the power of your Source – that being the power to
manifest your desires, to summon well-being, to attract abundance where scarcity
previously resided, and to access Divine guidance in the form of the right
people and the precisely correct circumstances.
This is what Source does, and since you emanated from that Source, you
can and will do the same.
When
you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
You’re about to see and experience a whole new world changing right
before your eyes’………….. Foreword

The
Power of Intention
Dr
Wayne W. Dyer
ISBN
1-4019-0216-2
‘Change
the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.’
'The power of intention, the energy that surrounds all of us. Dyer tells us how we can train ourselves to tune into this source energy and step beyond our minds and egos. When we do this we become what Dyer calls "Connectors" and make ourselves available to the energy of success.
Connectors are the people whom everone sees as lucky, the people who get the breaks. They don't say : 'With my luck everything will go wrong', they just know things will go well. They trust an invisible force that will be all-providing and they just don't attract negativity to themselves. This book is full of dynamic steps that we can all use to tap into this transformational energy.'

The Thought That Counts
David
R. Hamilton PhD
ISBN 978-1-4019-1168-3
ISBN 1-4019-1168-4
‘The astounding evidence for the power of mind over matter.
Body and mind are intertwined. Every thought, feeling and intention you have sends ripples throughout your body. The results depend upon the nature of those thoughts, feelings and intentions. They can be so powerful that they even affect your genes. A particular gene that might produce a disease or protect you from disease, for example, can be switched on and off according to how you process the daily experiences of your life. The implications of this are enormous. Every function of the human body is susceptible to thoughts and feelings.
The
entire body is actually hardwired to feel every emotion. And as it does
so, our emotional challenges frequently show up as physical symptoms.
Although there are many different causes of cancer, for instance, one factor
that seems to have an influence is the suppression of negative emotion. It
has been shown that cancer generally progresses fastest in people who hold in
deep emotional pain which has often built up over many years. The great
news is that releasing the pain can halt and even reverse the cancer.'
