NLP or Neuro Linguistic Programming is an incredibly powerful approach to communication and personal development. Learning NLP techniques gives you greater control over your ability to be at your best more often. You will be able to effectively manage your thoughts and feelings. To quote Richard Bandler, one of the co-founders of NLP, “NLP is a discovery, not an invention”. As an added benefit, practising NLP approaches can help you develop emotional flexibility and resilience, which are particularly useful in times of great change. Our emotional state impacts both how we come over to others and how easily we can access our own resources.  The more we can lead our own emotional state, the more we can lead and influence both ourselves and others.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy that incorporates principles of mindfulness. Mindfulness is a state of being, where one is fully present in the moment and does not judge or react to their thoughts and emotions. The mindfulness practice that is emphasised in MBCT is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation is thought to help practitioners understand the concept that thoughts and emotions come and go and that "you are not your thoughts."

Psychology allows people to understand more about how the body and mind work together. This knowledge can help with decision-making and avoiding stressful situations. It can help with time management, setting and achieving goals, and living effectively. Everyone uses psychology on a daily basis, whether they are talking with friends, arguing with a partner, or disciplining their children. Most people just don’t realise the science behind their decisions. Understand how your mind works helps in everyday life by allowing you to build strong relationships and make the best decisions.
