Psychology and CBT
(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Although I believe that Neuro-Linguistic Programming qualifies as true, practical and effective psychology, I am not a ‘Chartered Psychologist’.

Very few Psychologists are actually engaged in therapy. Most of the psychological therapists working in the NHS, besides Psychiatrists (Medically qualified Doctors who normally just diagnose and prescribe) are either non medically trained counsellors or Psychiatric Nurses. Psychiatric Nurses and Psychologists working in the NHS usually use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This is effective to a point, though it suits a more strict, impersonal, prescriptive, clinical setting rather than the more flexible personal attention you can expect from a private practitioner.

I am aware of some of the more effective techniques from CBT, though they do resemble techniques that were already found in NLP and I have studied a certain amount of mainstream Psychology and some of it has added to my store of resources. However, you will understand that I prefer the rapid, comfortable, effective and often even enjoyable techniques to be found in NLP, EFT and Hypnosis.
