Guided Development Coaching and Hypnotherapy 
Utilising Neural Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis

Hi, my name is Richard Ager. I am a Master NLP Practioner in the business.   
​
I am a certified hypnotist, NLP Master Practitioner, NLP Master Coach, and Master Time Line Therapist.
​
​I first encountered NLP when I was working with the Victorian Department of Infrastructure quite some years ago in 2007.

I was so impressed by the outcomes NLP facilitated that I observed for myself that I had to learn more about this fascinating practice.

NLP is about how your senses, brain and nervous system receive, store, recall and process information to make sense of the world around you and, create strategies for living and improvement.

NLP  shines a light on your own thinking strategies, modifying unhelpful memories, associations, thinking patterns and, ways of interacting with the world.    

Opportunities abound.  NLP can be used to get clarity and focus on your ambitions and goals so that you can achieve the things that are most important to you.  

 Or perhaps Hypnotherapy is...
...a relaxed state in theta brain waves length (when the body is in a deep state of relaxation) just before you fall asleep. The theta brain wave frequency has been linked to relieving stress, physical relaxation and increased clarity of mind.
​
In this state the conscious mind and body are relaxed and gently placed to one side allowing us to work with the powerful subconscious mind.
​
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis
 Have you ever driven somewhere parked the car and thought, ‘I don’t’ remember how I got here’? Or, perhaps you have been watching television, and time felt like it past in an instant, and maybe you couldn't recall exactly what you were watching?
It may be a surprise, but these are examples of a “self-hypnotic” or “trance” like state. As your own experience might suggest, we can go in and out of a trance like states frequently in any given day.

We can all have access to our own resources and inner power.

The pace of life...
Everyday life and the “pace of today” can dull or significantly reduce our connection to ourselves and our inner power and resources.

Your personal resources and inner power are ever-present (although you may not feel or know it or it).

As a hypnotherapist, I am a guide, to assist you in finding your own way back to your personal resources and inner power. Shining a light on what is already there.
 
The subconscious mind has many thoughts patterns and beliefs largely formed between the age of birth and 7 years of age from the world around you at the time.

---

Pathways and choices...
Some of these thoughts patterns and beliefs are wonderful and support the life you desire, equally some do not.

Thought patterns and beliefs that are no longer helpful can be altered, changed or indeed replaced to support the life that you desire.

A simple shift in thoughts influences your body chemistry, body language and the way you present yourself to the world around you.
