Lifetide Training

 Background

Who should attend

The programme is mainly intended for NLP Master Practitioners and above who wish to achieve accreditation with the Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association (NLPtCA) and hence, registration with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

However, therapists and counsellors from other modalities would benefit from some of the generic modules on thier own such as Social Science and Research as well as the Human Development, Psychopathology and Pharmacology. If you are in any doubt then do contact us to discuss your needs and requirements.


What the course provides

When all modules have been completed and in conjunction with your other skills and expertise, you will be able to: -

  • Understand and respond to a wide range of client needs

  • Know when and how to involve other professionals

  • Have a clear understanding of ethical requirements and considerations

  • Be able to build and manage therapeutic and professional relationships

  • Understand and commit to all relevant legal and professional requirements


During this course, you will gain: -

  • a deeper understanding of psychotherapeutic practice using Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy (NLPt)

  • experience of other psychotherapeutic modalities

  • a better understanding and knowledge of the history of psychotherapy

  • additional skills in research and writing in both a depth and style that differs from that commonly used in NLP. This will provide you with a foundation set of skills to help you better understand other psychotherapeutic modalities and help you communicate your experience across the psychotherapy profession

  • an insight into a cultural history that will most likely be new to an NLP practitioner. The profession of psychotherapy is a diverse field and an understanding of this diversity will help you communicate with other therapists as well as providing you with a clearer understanding of where NLPt sits within the profession

  • experience of joint working with other professionals such as medical, nursing and social work staff


What we ask from you


Unlike other NLP training courses, on this course you will be encouraged and expected to share your own experiences and expertise. You will be asked to debate and present ideas and thoughts and you will be expected to be able to do some of your thinking in an open and yet safe space.


Rather than simply reproduce the course material we aim to help you develop new ideas and theories that describe your work so that your professional abilities can grow. To do this successfully you will need to have a shared experience and understanding of your own therapeutic process and that of other psychotherapists and thinkers both within and outside NLPt.


We ask that you bring to this course: -

  • a lively and enquiring mind.

  • a desire to engage in curious debate

  • a willingness to discuss and even argue beliefs and ideas

  • respect for the beliefs and ideas of others even as you hold differing views

  • a willingness to share your experiences and learn from those of others

  • the ability to listen and respond with compassion and respect

  • an interest in and respect for issues around diversity
