What is Provocative Therapy?
Essentially it is a system of psychotherapy developed by Frank Farrelly, in which the therapist plays the devil's advocate, siding with the negative half of the client's ambivalence toward his life's goals, his relationships, work and the structures within which he lives.
The purpose of this talking therapy is to provoke change in the client by being direct and to the point, without the nonsense of beating about the bush – it is about getting to the root of the problem that is presented in the NOW. The main tool to implement this change is warm-hearted humour. With a twinkle in his eye, a smile playing about his lips, John will genially employ the style of affectionate banter between friends, he will use humour both to sensitize and desensitize the client to problematic cognitive, affective, and behavioural patterns. This is the key to Provocative Therapy – humour: jocular, whimsical, caring, supportive humour.
John has trained directly with the creator of Provocative Therapy, Frank Farrelly and now runs professional development seminars for therapists on the subject.

NLP is used by most major corporations in business and is widely used in sports to get optimum results. NLP is the best way to re-programme, re-educate and re-train your mind and body to do what you want.
The use of NLP techniques result in generative change after the work is done, change whereby people learn to create new talents and behaviours for themselves and others. A side effect of such generative change is that many of the problem behaviours that people experience that have in the past been targets for remedial changes through traditional medicine and drug prescriptions simply disappear. Once having practiced the new skills and behaviours consciously for some period of time you can allow that skill to function unconsciously thereby creating new habits.
With NLP, John works with clients representation systems (what we see, hear, say, feel, smell and taste), their strategies, their programmes of behaviour and their beliefs, values and rules most of which operate at the unconscious level; helping clients to recondition, re-educate and re-programme themselves so that new behaviours happen automatically. Working with NLP is like having access to the brains instruction book. In his book and programme 'Unleash the Slim Within' John has combined the best of NLP, clinical hypnotherapy, Provocative Therapy and Thought Field Therapy to create a unique and very powerful formula to change behaviours and habits. The provocative approach is the motivational catalyst that enables the methodologies of NLP, TFT and Hypnotherapy to work so well. This combination is at the heart of his book 'Unleash the Slim Within' the formula of which has helped hundreds of people lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
