I am an internationally licensed trainer in true NLP and a creator of Structural Psychology Systems for transformation, which is the most precise system to reverse engineer any human problem, including mental health issues, into its processes and structures, and influence change, using the client;s inherent process they used to create a problem. The process is similar to martial arts and has been often called "Martial arts of the mind". I have had great success treating problems that have been "resistant" to traditional psychotherapeutic approach. My motto is - "If it takes years to overcome, the method isn't working". My method is rapid and effective. :Your brain works faster than you think" and is the most pliable and powerful creative machine. It learns quickly._x000D_ If you are a coach, therapist or facilitator, this method will revolutionize your effectiveness and help you generate extraordinary, measurable and verifiable results in the least amount of time. I have been training coaches and facilitators in this method for 15 years. I have also been training sales professionals, sales teams and sales managers to increase their performance. Its not unusual for a sales professional to quadruple his or hers results within the first two months. Shifting internal blocks results in profound results. My clients also include elite athletes, professional speakers and presenters wanting to build powerful rapport with their audiences, and CEOs wanting to create a cohesive team within their organizations._ I am currently writing a book outlining this method. My other contribution to this knowledge is development of a creativity algorithm which allows people easily break through their barriers to success and naturally access their creative potential. This method is very powerful in the area of sales, sports performance and academic achievement. It also represents the core of my trainings. In addition to international trainings I have been working as a consultant to various organizations, developing programs and coaching CEOs, as well as helping individuals in the areas of addiction, and mental health issues. I have had great success treating depression and anxiety._x000D_ On a personal level, I am an athlete, traveller, and I have a daughter who lives in Australia, and is a mother to two little ones.
