Frequently Asked Questions
What format does the program take? The program is basically divided up into four sections, plus there may well be some things you need to do in your own time.
The first part is about understanding you and what you want to achieve in our time together. The second part of the program is focussed on developing tools.
The third part is where you experience the various techniques such as Time Line Therapy® Last but not least we review outcomes you set earlier to ensure all aspects have been covered and define the empowering changes that have occurred due to our work together.
What if I don't want to change the way I think and behave? Great, since you are the authority in your life, imagine what you will do when you do decide to make changes!
How can you solve a problem I've had for years in just a few sessions?First, I won't be solving it, you will…because you are the only person who can. During our time working together I will be more interested in ‘how’ you do your story, ‘how’ you encode the information rather than the story itself. As for the speed of change…I wouldn’t want to suggest (nodding my head) you've always been able to create change quickly and elegantly.
Are these techniques well proven? NLP was developed at the University of California in 1970’s and since then millions have experienced its effectiveness. NLP has been experienced by three Presidents of the United States, top sports teams, business people, governments and celebrities including members of several royal families; Famous people such as the late Princess Diana, Greg Norman, Anthony Hopkins and Andre Agassi (who returned from way down in the rankings to #1 in the world within a few weeks) to name a few.
Is your success rate high? Success is one of my highest values in being a Consultant and I am very, very pleased with the success of my clients. In fact I have many referral based appointments due to the success my clients experienced.
If these techniques are so successful then how come my doctor and I haven’t heard of them? NLP as a therapy is a relatively new process (particularly in South Australia!) and has only been used for the last quarter of a century or so. Time Line Therapy® techniques have been developed over the last 20 years. So as far as the medical profession goes, these techniques are quite young. Often the best new innovations can take a while to be adopted widely. 20 years ago very few doctors would refer patients to a chiropractor — now that's often the first place you'd go with a back problem.
NLP and Time Line Therapy® have solid foundations as they evolved from techniques and people such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, developed by Dr. Aaron Beck in the 1960's; Virginia Satir, considered one of the worlds greatest family therapists; Fritz Perls, the father of Gestalt therapy, and Milton Erickson a medical doctor, a psychiatrist in the 50-60's and commonly known as the father of hypnosis.
Will I be in control the whole time? Absolutely…you feel clear and in control at all times — you will probably be amazed by the simplicity of the processes and at how easily you create change!
How do I know I have an unconscious mind?In answer to this question, let me ask you to lift your left arm and wave your hand, now…did you have to consciously direct the message to your brain and through your neural networks? If you think you did, how did you know which neural pathway to take…did you know the sequence of muscle movements needing to be activated…did you have to consciously think about how you got your hand to produce a wave action? Probably not, because if you did you wouldn’t have time or energy to do anything else! These are functions we learnt as babies and after much practice became second nature and relegated as a function of the unconscious mind.
Our internal programs run at an unconscious level therefore you might not consciously recall how or what sets them off.
Is it Okay if I don't remember how the problem started? Yes, it’s fine. In fact many clients are not consciously aware of when or where the problem first originated, yet the unconscious mind is able to access all this information quickly and easily.
How does Time Line Therapy® create such fast change? Time Line Therapy® uses the genius of imagination whilst in rapport with the Unconscious Mind to go back to the root cause of a problem, gain what there is to learn from the event and release any negative affects. The techniques have been proven effective and restores your ability to enjoy a better quality life.
How will I feel after a session?Will I be or feel different? My objective is for you to become aligned with the person that you want to be — your true self. You may or may not feel immediately different after the session but you will be empowered and confident that you have the tools necessary to release old issues. Each week builds upon the last and wonderful changes occur as a natural progress due to the work we do together.
What kind of Doctor are you? I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist or any other kind of traditional medical or mental health professional. I am qualified as a Master Practitioner in the fields of NLP and Time Line Therapy®, which are considered Alternative Therapies.
Are you Experienced? As well as being a Certified Master Practitioner of Time Line Therapy® and Neuro-Linguistic Programming I have been working in the Alternative Therapy field for many years using modalities such as Breathwork, Wholistic Counselling, facilitating Empowerment Groups and Workshops, Dream Analysis, Telephone Counselling, am a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist and was Counselling Manager for Life Line South East Inc.
Should I stop taking my Medication? I am not a doctor, so cannot and will not ever advise anyone about whether or not to take medication of any kind. Any decisions in this regard must be taken in conjunction with your physician or other appropriately qualified professional.
How Much Does it Cost? Please call my office for the current fee. My question to you would be...how much does it cost you in not letting go of the effects of trauma and self limitation? What is it already costing you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually? What value would you put on your emotional wellbeing??? I take great pride in my clients getting positive results as quickly as possible.
What about when I have finished the program? Optional ongoing support is offered through monthly Coaching Sessions. During these sessions the client provides topics for discussion. These sessions have us discuss opportunities for learning being reflected through daily life and assist utilization of self management/empowerment methods learned.
Coaching Sessions were formed due to clients requesting a coaching program to continue their personal growth and development and have proven to be a great success.
