Bruce Lyon,
- UK Sport

"Initially I didn't think NLP was for me as I'd heard mixed responses, and combined with the 'performance' aspect I thought it would only be suitable for 'trendy' youngsters! How wrong I was! I really enjoyed my introduction to NLP and also really enjoyed your [Louise] wonderfully engaging humour, sense of fun and enthusiasm for the subject which really helped me to understand what this NLP might have to offer, even an 'oldie' like me! Thank you for your patience and I'll definitely being doing more NLP with you in the future!"
Elsa Robertson,

"Brilliant! I can't believe that I have learned so much about myself, my players and my mind! This stuff is invaluable to sport and I only hope that more coaches recognise how useful (and easy) it is to use it to get the best out of players and staff. Thanks a million - UEFA A here I come!! "
J.M.
- Football Coach

"Watching Louise work is inspiring. She brilliantly demonstrated how simple and powerful NLP is and how easily it can be applied in any situation. Louise's background as a University Lecturer really shines through - she showed a high level of patience and made sure each one of us understood the concepts, made them easy to understand and fun to apply. I learnt a lot about NLP on this course and about myself!"
Marie Truxler

"Comprehensive course content, new and challenging practical skills, engaging and helpful course tutor and most of all extremely thought provoking"
Arran Peck,
- Strength and Conditioning Coach, English Institute of Sport

"You (Louise) bond with people effortlessly, which in turn puts them at their ease. You have a good mix of assertiveness (when needed), motivation (in terms of your upbeat manner) and inspiration (in your stories and in your intrinsic belief that we could all be good practitioners). You deliver feedback in a manner that is motivational even when it is food for thought about how to improve. You are also an authentic person, which today in business it is normally quite difficult to see through the facade of the professional. Don't ever change that - it's very refreshing"
Linda McAllister,
- Business Psychologist, Director Three Way Thinking

"An enlightening experience that has made a significant impact on my life"
John Dargie,
- TRIATHLONSCOTLAND, National High Performance Coach

Accounts Manager (but not for long!)
