When you seek a resolution to your problems personal, work or business let us provide the solution. They say that change is as good as a rest. Visit us when you need the change and let us do the rest.

 

Write via mailto:info@change.togain.co.uk including how you want to be contacted and your contact details

 

.What is stopping you from making the change you want

be it Weight, Stress, Anger, Anxiety, Career, Divorce, Marriage, Relationship,

Strategy, Culture, Quality, Project, Business Start up, Location or any other?

With us you can be better

Our greatest intention is to pay you attention, to what you want, when and how you want it. Then we apply the appropriate techniques to help you get it effectively and quickly.

As change agents we want you to be sure that whether you want to be coached to excel, or given therapy to have you past your problems, we want you to finish each contact feeling better in some way, and feel good about choosing us. Some people feel better simply by reading our self help. Others need personal communication and in cases of therapy this is best face to face.

In therapy you will be taken through appropriate processes until both you and we know that any problem is gone and that the outcome you desire has been achieved. We even guarantee the achievement of your outcome as long as it has been carefully considered and agreed by us at the outset (the details are available when you meet with us). In general we agree a fixed price for a particular outcome rather than the time taken and so we take that risk. We know and expect since it is your outcome that you will co-operate fully and in doing so you will find with our guidance you have new or forgotten resources available to you.

We also provide specific fixes for people who want:

·         for health - weight loss (aiming for the right size), to stop smoking,

·         confidence in challenging situations such as exams, public speaking, interviews

·         to be free of irrational, exaggerated or disabling fears, phobias, anxiety,

·         anger management or other relief from emotional upsets

·         stress management, for example in moving house, relationships or career change.

With some personal issues such a post traumatic stress disorder we work in co-ordination with any medical professionals that you are seeing so that your full needs are being considered appropriately.

Benefits, Health and Fitness is a web page and list to illustrate what you can work on and expect to achieve in these areas with our help.

Consider, changing the way you think will not change your weight too quickly; it will enable you to make the change at a healthy rate, when too high a rate of weight loss can create health and other issues. If you have tried dieting and many people have, when in the past when your dieting ended (or you stopped taking the medicine) and you regained weight, you can now expect the changes you will make with us will help you ensure that you continue right sized to behave healthily. Your unconscious and conscious motivations will be in harmony and will power will not be the primary driving force for your achievements. Similarly with pain, when you know fully what your pain is for, you can control your pain in a way that is appropriate, to keep your behaviour healthy and also more enjoyable.

In business, personal consultancy, and coaching services we use our wide experience and knowledge of life and work to take you through the process appreciating the human, technical and commercial dimensions to life and business. For example we assess values, personality, culture, systems, infrastructure and competitiveness. We use this information to guide you through the changes you want to make. Between us we have experience of private sector, public sector and charitable organisations. With experience of strategy planning, business consultancy, total quality management, quality systems, and all manner of projects often including technology design, change, and research, we are happy to design and undertake projects and contribute to programmes of all kinds of change.

We offer individualised products and service packages which are suited to common situations such as:

·         Where performance is an issue e.g. meeting sales targets, project dates

o        personal breakthrough sessions to resolve the root cause,

·         Where risk is an issue e.g. entrepreneurs starting up their new business,

o        business coaching eliminates barriers to success, and sustains morale

·         Where major change of circumstances is an issue e.g. for those facing redundancy or retirement,

o        tailored packages to deal with emotions and life choices

·         Where peak performance needs maintaining e.g. for established senior managers

o        executive coaching to sustain morale and develop excellent behaviours and decision making.

change.TOGAIN provide services across the UK and are based in Peterborough. When appropriate by agreement we may involve an associate who may be located nearer to you.

Some points about the terms used on this site

NLP - The definition we like most for this term is "The modelling of excellence, and the application of the models to make a difference for people." This definition is our version of John Grinder's approach. He co-founded the discipline with Richard Bandler in the late 1970's.

What it means is that by modelling excellent behaviour we can transfer that skill to other people and thereby change what happens for the better. As practising therapists we have learnt models of therapy to enable us to help you in ways you may be thinking about now. When we help you to be better we help you change your own internal model or memory of how things are and how things work in the world, to a better model which gives you new choices, greater insights, better feelings...... and most importantly the outcomes you want.

Many other definitions have been coined including: "NLP is an attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trail of techniques"(Bandler); "the study of subjective experience"; "the extrication and replication of elegance".........

This abbreviation is used for the term Neuro-Linguistic Programming originating during the late 1970's and subsequently being used now also for Neuro-Linguistic Psychology and Neuro-Linguistic Psychotherapy.

NLP or rather many of the techniques that have been catalogued and are being applied frequently can be viewed as in the cognitive and behavioural branches of psychology and psychotherapy, though as you can appreciate by modelling any discipline NLP can provide methods to train excellent practitioners in that discipline accepting that the knowledge will be coming from excellent exponents of the discipline concerned even when they are not aware of what they know themself. Milton Erickson "Worlds leading authority in Medical Hypnosis, Psychiatrist, Founder of the Techniques of Brief Therapy" said of the early discoveries of NLP that it ".....is a delightful simplification of the infinite complexities of the language I use with patients. In reading this book, I learned a great deal about the things that I've done without knowing about them."

NLP is still developing and also still filtering what is essential and critical to excellence from what is elaboration or style. We use a range of techniques and styles including traditional and new code NLP. As with all real professionals we invest much time and effort into our own continuing development to please you.

Hypnotherapy - This term means - the using of the state and techniques of hypnosis to help people get better. The state of hypnosis is not scientifically distinct and isolatable because the physical signs are similar to other states such as dreaming, and may even be the same, though it is hard to judge.

What you can know by experience is that when in a state of trance you can communicate unconsciously to make changes in your memories and these will be consistent with your most deeply held convictions so you will only do in trance what you find acceptable. It is easier to change your memories than you think for each time you remember something the memory is always changed in some way, if only in the way it is now linked to new contexts. You can imagine your mind working by changing memories and these changes can create actions in the real world by moving muscles, and with enough perseverance mountains. The question is how are you thinking and what are the results, the memories, of that thinking.

The boundaries of hypnosis are vague. Are you being hypnotised when you watch a film? When watching at times you may trigger a good state or a bad state, or remember something that changes your life for better or worse. We work hard to help you make things better for you in the way you have chosen. When you drift off in the class room and the teachers lesson goes straight into your unconscious have you been hypnotised. At least with us you will know we understand what we are doing and why we are doing it.

Hypnosis is powerful because it enables rapid change and even therapeutic techniques which are weak on their own may be powerful when carried out when you are in a suitable trance.

Hypnosis is what may be called an altered state, in that it is not the state your mind is in for most of the waking day. With NLP we can use other altered states to help you to make the changes you want. Top of page

Time Line TherapyTM is a trade mark of the Time Line Therapy Association and is a term for a particular model of therapy devised by Tad James based on modelling the excellent behaviour and learnings of other masters such as Milton Erickson and Leslie Cameron whilst adding his own special insights and formalising the methods to ensure their success.

It is particularly powerful for making changes in your emotional memories and can change your life for the better. It is great for dealing with issues that create self sabotage, the undermining of our plans for success. We suggest that you come to us and just sit back and enjoy the benefits as they accumulate. Top of page

Change Guides and Change Agents - We like to define ourselves as change guides or change agents, because we help you make the changes you want. Only you have access to your memories. Only you can change them. Only you know what you really want. We only have the expert skills, knowledge and abilities needed to help you get what you want.

Our terms work nicely for personal change and just as well for organisational change. You may easily realise that it is a lot more challenging for people in an organisation to understand what they really want, and to then make the changes as each person has their own memories and motivations. We have ways of seeing through the fog, hearing clearly, feeling our way along the path and taking the steps that lead to success. Top of page

Consultants - Although this term is perhaps debased these days rather like the term Engineer, we are able to offer a service when appropriate that is an extension to our other products in that we can do work that management consultants might do for you if you are in business. The term can mean almost anything as long as it is helping you. When you pay for consulting you always make the important decisions, the consultant help you to understand what is going on and what options you have so that you can do it better. Top of page

Coaching - There are different types of coaching and they all share a common theme across some aspect or aspects of life and work. The coach concentrates on you acquiring the knowledge (including the practical physical skills) to perform better. Their methods vary widely. In sport where coaching has been developed to a high degree, coaches may be dictatorial, inspirational or operate with a light touch. On the whole they will tell you what to do and they get you to practice it enough times to become good at it. Before the game they will give you strategies and tactics to overcome the opposition and win.

In our case we will be using a light touch, facilitating the way you think so that you get more out of the knowledge you already possess, and learning more from other sources. You may not be interested in competition and have no opposition in the same way as a sports person, however, if you are interested in doing better we can make a difference for you.

Having particular skills with language (including non verbal communication) from our NLP we are able to transfer skills more quickly than other types of coaches may do. As we are not yet experts in every conceivable discipline, nor will we live long enough to become so, we won't teach you the details of every stroke in golf. You can get that from someone else quite easily.

What we can do is to ensure that you are well motivated, thinking the way you have done when you have been at your best, and when appropriate and we can access models of excellent performance we can transfer some of that excellence to you. We won't coach you to grow to 7 foot tall so we can't ensure you will win the Olympic high jump, instead we will coach you to go beyond your current limiting beliefs about what you can do until you feel you have developed enough.

You may know there are lots of different brands or names for coaching (life coaching, executive coaching, business coaching, sports coaching) and many people are jumping on the bandwagon to become coaches using their trainers methods. In terms of difference we know you are an individual with many needs and not all for coaching, so we will work flexibly with you to help you achieve the performance you want in the areas of life or work that matter to you.
