Testimonials

Gail Ramsay

Satir Coaching and Mentoring Specialist Training atendee

I loved the course, I love what Brian did and I loved what he brought out in us. For me doing it, it got through blocks that I had and it’s something I didn’t imagine could happen in such a short time. I can see how powerful it is and the changes it can bring and I think the best thing is that there is a heart to it and compassion to it that’s usually missing in other programs.

Tony Redmond

Hypnotic Homeopath
Many years ago, I went on an NLP Practitioner course and had the great opportunity to train under Brian’s tuition. At that time I had just lost my business and I decided to move to Spain. When flying to Spain I developed the worst flying phobia which Brian eradicated in front of the class. He also taught me new skills that has shaped the way I am today which I will never forget. Now some years later I have a wonderful business with two beautiful children and the perfect partner. NLP changed my life and Brian and Theresa’s kindness changed me. To finish, if you get the chance to do one of their wonderful courses jump at it. Thank you guys so much.

Karen Reilly

I can’t recommend the course (Master Practitioner of NLP) highly enough. It was amazing. It makes a huge difference for my professional life as a coach, but also for my personal life. An amazing group of people. Brian as a trainer is incredible. You learn so much and are trained so well. I will definitely be doing more, and I really recommend that everybody and anybody join and get involved.

I attended The NLP Business Practitioner with Brian and was so impressed that I decided to have him train my staff. During this time and under his tuition the team has managed to significantly and repeatedly to exceed their sales targets month after month. It has been a very worthwhile and profitable investment for my business for which I am very grateful.

Glow Coaching

Brian is an amazing coach and therapist and if you decide to invest in yourself and your future, this is a no brainer! I recently had a one-to-one coaching session with Brian and it completely transformed me, I was feeling de-motivated, sluggish, and couldn’t quite put my finger on what was causing it or how I could move forward from it. 1 session with Brian and I was off my couch, completing my 100 miles in a month challenge in the wind and rain, kick-started my business again, put myself back out there into the work I love so much, designing and delivering training to help people through challenging times and back into taking on clients for coaching and got my finger out and organised my new website. This was all after 1 hour with this genius.
