What our students and clients say
I’ve undertaken three major trainings with Jeremy: NLP Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner and most recently NLP Sports Practitioner. I keep coming back because the training is thorough, ethical and ecological, and it’s academically recognized. As a career coach I work with people at all stages of their career, across levels and across a wide range of industries.

Jeremy has a unique approach to bringing out the best in people. He certainly practices what he preaches! Jeremy is one of a handful of trainers/coaches/practitioners that I would, without any hesitation, recommend to others.

I have had the pleasure of studying with Jeremy, and the NLP he has taught has had a wonderful impact on my personal and professional life. Jeremy explains NLP in an accessible, easy, manner and for me took away the fluff of the subject. The practical help on the courses and the smaller classes give you a personal learning environment, perfect for this subject. I highly recommend Jeremy for anyone interested in NLP.

I feel privileged to have discovered NLP, it has changed my life. Understanding communication, the impact of language and being able to change unwanted behaviours has been the difference that made the difference for me. Jeremy is so much more than an NLP Master Trainer. It is a powerful rewarding experience learning and evolving with Jeremy. I highly recommend studying with Jeremy, one of my best decisions.
