Therapy & Coaching

With all the complexities life hands us, it's easy to get tripped up, to lose our sense of emotional direction, and to allow unnecessary barriers to prevent us from creating the lives we want.

Cutting edge tools like Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Ericksonian hypnotherapy, Coaching and Time Line are used to help you release the past and take back the power and energy you need to feel fully alive, and to live fully present in the moment.

With respectful and caring attention, the professionals at People Point will support your desire to heal and to experience life as a whole, effective, and peaceful human being. Whether you want to transform painful memories, let go of rejection, heal from past trauma, or simply feel stronger and better about yourself - the practitioners at People Point are there to help. With many years of experience, and various areas of expertise, we at People Point can assist you to re-shape and re-focus your attention, and to begin moving effectively toward the life you want to live.

Human beings tend to spend a great deal of energy and attention on either regret about the past, or anticipation of the future. Neither of these allows the individual to feel truly alive. The past is gone, no longer exists, and the future doesn't yet exist. So, if your focus is on either of these, you are pouring energy into things that aren't real. The present moment is all you have; learning to live fully in each moment allows you to let go of everything else that would deplete you of the energy and focus you need to live a rich, full life.

Understanding NLP

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an extraordinary and cutting-edge approach to human communication and the development of excellence. This remarkable set of tools is based on the amazing discovery that in changing how you think can change what you think - and in changing how and what you think, you can dramatically transform the results you create in your life.

NLP can assist you to develop and maintain a high level of motivation for achieving your goals, and can help convert barriers and obstacles into doorways to success. NLP can be used to learn the characteristics of top achievers and to create a blueprint for unlimited success.

Through the simple yet profound techniques that make NLP so powerful, you can eliminate unwanted habits, transform negative emotions into positive feelings, improve the way you see yourself, enhance your self-esteem and become the person you want to be.

Everything you experience is created twice - first in your mind and then in reality. The experiences you create are representative of your internal state, the way you think and the feeling your thoughts generate. When you have the tools to change your internal state, you will find that your external reality will change to match the new internal state. It's pretty simple, and quite astounding.

NLP Can assist you with:

Creating more happiness in your life
Changing old patterns of behaviour, thought and emotion
Becoming in charge of your life
Creating goals and pathways to get there
Enhance what is going well in your life
Believing in yourself and your capabilities
Learning from others
Improving your communication skills
Improving every aspect of your life

Understanding Coaching

Professional athletes whose success depends on excellent select coaches to assist them in consistently accessing their own power to perform. The same is tried for many individuals involved in the performing arts, public speaking, creative arts, even many whose interests lie in the area of business. These individuals all understand that, in the process of attaining their goals, they can benefit from the insight and objectivity of a coach who can help them stay on track.

A professional coach can help assure that your intended outcomes are well-formed, and therefore worth pursuing. That your actions are aligned with those outcomes, your timeframes realistic, and that what you vision of the future is truly compelling. All of those benefits contribute directly to the quality of your performance and the level of psychological, emotional and even financial rewards you create.

A coach can assist you to design a results-oriented plan of action, can help you monitor your progress, ensure a disciplined approach, help you avoid pitfalls and distractions, and can assist you to maintain a focused vision of the success you want to create.

Effective coaches are trained to assist you in examining your goals carefully to make sure that your efforts will generate the results you really want. It's often difficult to remain objective when looking at your own life and the things you've planned for yourself and those you love. A well-trained outsider can frequently identify areas in which those goals need to be strengthened or even changed, and guide you as you make the refinements that will ensure your success.

A good coach can also point out the pitfalls that might show up on the path to success, and can help you avoid them, saving time, money and emotional wear and tear. And, a coach can be invaluable in supporting your focus, discipline and consistent efforts toward the things you want to accomplish.

Understanding Hypnotherapy

People Point uses a conversational form of hypnosis called Ericksonain Hypnosis. This goes hand in hand with all of our NLP and Coaching skills. It is very different from what you see on television.

Hypnosis has long been recognised as a powerful and direct path to the higher/unconscious mind. A path offering insight into the origins and solutions for emotional, psychological and even physical difficulties. No longer regarded as just a trick used by stage performers or a method for manipulating others, hypnosis is widely accepted and used by doctors, psychologists and therapists worldwide.

Hypnosis is not only effective as a key to to the mind, it can also help direct the mind's energy to alter concepts, sensations, patterns of thought and unwanted behaviours.

Pain, pleasure, joy, boredom and fear are all reactions to the ways we thing about passing thoughts - and we may not even be aware of it. When left to their own devices, our thoughts can make us prisoners and the power of the mind can magnify difficulties instead of solving them. Hypnosis can help you tap into the mind's resources to transform the things that limit you into the things that move you forward toward your goals.

Through the use of simple and respectful techniques, it is possible to harness and focus an unlimited supply of mental energy that can be used to create the kind of life you want. Most people only use about 10% of their brain's capacity during the course of a lifetime. Imagine the possibilities that are available to the individual who can tap into the remaining 90%!

During hypnosis, applied and appropriate suggestions cause changes to take place in the 'message system' that leads from the brain to the spinal cord and into the numerous branches of nerves throughout the body. Nerve responses are complex, however they respond to simple reconditioning techniques when the individual has reached a state of receptivity through hypnosis.

Hypnosis is the doorway through which we enter and stretch the mind to enhance our potential for personal and professional growth. The amazing power of the unconscious mind influences nearly every aspect of human behaviour. It can cause fear, guilt, anxiety, stress and even illnesses. However, effectively harnessed, this same power, deep within each of us can bring about profound changes that open new doors to health, happiness and prosperity.
