“Brilliant! The strength of John Plester's NLP training lies in the fact that he tailors his teaching to his client. In other words; he takes into account your own life skills and experiences and in what setting you wish to use NLP skills. The positive outcome being that you're left in no doubt as to how to apply those skills to both your own life and your particular field of employment. ”

“Great therapy training, which enabled me to improve outcomes for the NHS patients I work with. I have trained in NLP and hypnotherapy with John over a few years now and always found him highly professional & knowledgable. All training either on a 1:1 basis or as part of a group demonstrates attention to detail in terms of training material and a thoughtful empathic approach taken to each individual's needs experiential learning. I would recommend John both as a therapist and trainer for anyone who wishes to improve themselves either professionally or for personal reasons.   ”

This was run professionally with an easy relaxed environment with which to learn and practice within. I also am mentored by John and seek supervision from him as a practicing hypnotherapist. John is approachable and has a wealth of experience with which to offer. He offers a range of leading edge therapies which I have experienced and am amazed by.   ”

“Excellent Training I have studied with many trainers and I rate John and Mike highly. They both have excellent subject knowledge and are natural teachers. The course was a great mixture of theory and practical experience. I received lots of constructive feedback during the course and both tutors were easily contactable between sessions. I am now running my own successful practice and the course provided exactly the grounding I needed in order to start my own business.   ”

Emma Wymark, Hypnotherapist

“EXCELLENT THERAPIST AND NLP TRAINER I have known John Plester for 8 years from when he was the Master Trainer for a course I attended to be an NLP Trainer. I have also had the luck to be his client for three different areas where I needed help. 1) trauma of rape and later a 2) fear of driving and 3) finding my mojo. His therapy was effective and fast. Furthermore, the 'NLP Trainer' training turned my life around completely, to say the least! I left there with focus, purpose and well-established skills! I was so inspired and well equipped that I was able to create my own certification program on Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP)back home in Australia. I flew from Australia to UK specifically to train with John Plester due to his absolute gold star, international reputation and very high recommendations. John is an incredibly focused teacher/trainer and therapist. He knows how to assist you in taking in knowledge in a way that is absorbed quickly, effectively and fully for each student or client that he has a responsibility for. His therapeutic work offers quick solutions and resolutions for different issues. I have even referred my friends and family to John as well, and they are all equally impressed with his skills. Through John's training of NLP and therapy after considerable trauma, I was able to accomplish the chasms of events in my life...working inter-continentally, starting my own training company and finding balance in my life, free from the chains of the past. I am so grateful for John Plester and his abilities. Thank you John, you're a diamond! ”

Jane Nash, Therapist and Trainer

I was an alcoholic who was killing myself and I had no will power to give up drinking, 8 years on I still haven't had any alcohol, I wanted to lose 3 stone in weight and to rebuild my shattered confidence. Since seeing John I have become a manager in a company, got married and had an amazing child. So thank you John, it is no lie to say you saved me, and I wouldn't hesitate in coming to you again or in recommending you. ”

C.G, North Walsham

“You’ll only gain from seeing him I’ve been seeing John for nearly 7 years now and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He’s taught me so much about the best ways of using my mind when it came to studying and handling stressful situations that I was going to encounter.   ”

J.S, Personal Trainer

“Will be forever grateful! I contacted John to seek help for my very troubled 18 year old son, and wow what a difference he has made. The initial appointment was vital in gaining my sons confidence and John just made him feel so at ease. His treatment over the weeks was just phenomenal the difference each session made is beyond words. Can’t thank him enough I have my son back and for that I will be forever grateful. Yes we do have the odd relapse but with the tools and strategies that John has taught us both we are soon back on track. ”

James Witham, Sports Massage Therapist

“Fantastic Practitioner would highly recommend! I have been seeing John, on and off for a number of years now, I fully trust him as a practitioner and feel that over these years he has helped to conquer my anxiety levels and my main phobia of flying. John is a friendly, patient and understanding man and I feel completely comfortable talking through my issues with him, no matter how big or small they may be. I would thoroughly recommend John to anyone who is seeking help or hypnosis. John has given me the results I needed to be able to change the way I look at life and the decisions I can now make. Thank you John!! ”

J.G, Norwich

“John Plester's hypnotherapy sessions and techniques cannot be praised enough John was recommended to me by a friend as I was having difficulty in dealing with a large amount of stress in my life at the time. He listened patiently to all that i had to say, and teased out of me in an intelligent way the troubles and worries that I was having. He then started to teach me the various ways that i could cope with these by focusing in on positives and learning simple techniques that helped enhance and embed those positives so that they became second nature. I was able to take those techniques home with me and use them when ever i needed to. His hypnosis sessions would leave me nice and relaxed and the suggestive sub conscious positive messaging would settle down and assist in the removal of those stressful times that i had been experiencing. However, the greatest achievement that John was able to do for me was to help me approach a kidney transplant operation at Addenbrookes made possible by my wife's selfless donation. John prepared my mind through several sessions, and techniques that i could use myself, to be completely 100% positive in my outlook and to remain calm throughout the ordeal. And its a testament to those techniques and the state of my mind that i was able to get through many of the issues that arose and am now very healthy. In short, i cannot recommend John highly enough. He is first class. ”

N.T, Norwich

L.S-J, Empowerment Coach

“I saw you a couple of years ago regarding anxiety. You completely turned my life around and for that I can't thank you enough. I tried counselling and CBT through my 7 or 8 years of anxiety and panic attacks but they didn't work for me. I became a complete recluse, I could barely get to work or the shops without over analysing how and when I would panic, which therefore brought on the panic/anxiety. I then saw you for your Freedom Formula Programme and you pointed me in the right direction to get my life on track. I now live a happier more social and less stressful life and I don't need to worry about things I used to. I would (and do) highly recommend you to people who have lost their way or have got themselves in a rut. Many thanks again John. ”

Steve Kett, Norwich

“I have suffered with Crohn's Disease for more than 16 years. After working with John and learning that the Crohn's for me was not stress related, once home, I applied what I had learnt about Individual Energy Toxins (IET's) and the other techniques to my life. For example I test what I eat and now only eat what is not a toxin for my body. After 24 hours of doing this I not only noticed a massive increase in energy and wellbeing but I didn't have tummy ache! This is the first time in 16 years! It has been 3 weeks now and I have been pain free, more positive and lost 9lb in weight!! Thank you John for your knowledge, guidance and support and for helping me to have a deeper understanding of TFT and IET's that has truly changed my life.”

He has the amazing ability to deliver comprehensive information regarding TFT in a very concise manner with great clarity. As a student I feel that I came away from this training course with suffiicent knowldge and skills to practice this very effective form of therapy.”

N.S.F., Hypnotherapist, London

“I have done several courses with John now, and his refreshing style delivers training with verve and his use of humour helps the material to become embedded in your mind. This TFT training has certainly enabled me to take my therapy to a new level with the introduction of the identification of Energy Toxin's, allowing me to get a much higher success rate. Delivery was excellent done in Johns own style, with flair and humour where appropriate. I love the way he demonstrates, and then describes the process, followed up by us practising the techniques.<br><br>On a personal level, I have enjoyed 3 weeks of uninterrupted sleep since the identification of caffeine as an energy toxin for me. I know my clients will get a similar benefit from the excellent techniques John teaches on this course.”

M.R., Hypnotherapist, Norwich

“The one-to-one course was adapted to meet my individual requirements, needs and availability. I was able to work entirely at my own pace which suited my complicated working patterns. The modules were tailored to meet my own preferences for the use of NLP in my working environment - at times this was achieved dynamically as my working situation shifted! The course is an absolute must for those who wish to take NLP to the next level, and have to fit their studies around a complicated lifestyle. John Plester is a fantastic tutor - patient, humorous and flexible.”

Tailoring his course to fit your own, specific needs, John utilises your existing knowledge, to gently guide you through the learning process. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and emerged with the confidence and motivation to apply my enhanced skill-set on a daily basis. At half the price of many similar, NLP courses, John Plester offers fantastic value for money!”

M.Y., Teacher

“The one-to-one NLP Practitioner course is an ideal way to learn the theory and practice of NLP. My working one-to-one with John, you have the freedom to ask John to tailor the course specifically to your own needs. This is an ideal way to gain Continuing Professional Development, in a time-limited working environment. The weekend ‘NLP Boot Camps’he offers as part of this training, give you the opportunity to gain practical experience, working with others. I came away with new knowledge, skills and more importantly, the confidence to pass on what I have learnt to others.”

Andrea Rippon, Staff Development Officer, University of East Anglia

“The NLP Boot Camp was a very good way of getting an introduction into NLP. Having read some of the concepts before, personally I felt I've gained alot of insight by practicing it with other people and interacting with more experienced practitioners. John has the ability to explain concepts of NLP in an easy to understand form. All in all highly recommended!”

R.D., IT Consultant

“I came to John Plester suffering from severe anxiety after experiencing a number of highly stressful life events within a short space of time.  I had one TFT Voice Technology session and four NLP coaching sessions (all by telephone), which I found extremely helpful in reducing anxiety and changing negative thought patterns.   I also downloaded the “Unleash the Change Within” CD, which reinforced some of the techniques I learned during the sessions with John.  The CD had an immediate calming effect and, although I listened to it every day at first, I now only need it occasionally as a relaxation tool.  After four months off, I am back at work full time and improving every week.  I know that I have learned tools that will help me deal with stressful situations for the rest of my life.  I found John to be professional and understanding and would highly recommend his services. ”

C.R., Ipswich

“As a total newcomer to NLP I was impressed with John's knowledge and delivery of the subject. I really enjoyed the Boot Camp and am keen to practice what I've learnt and would like to learn more. thanks to John and all the team!”

K.P., Manager

“John delivered an excellent 2 days of training for me and suited my style of taking in new information, I enjoyed it being very interactive and a useful way of re-affirming the knowledge being given. It was creatively done and in happy atmosphere challenging all aspects of everyone's learning skills.”

G.F., Therapist, London

“'Learning NLP has transformed both my own life and dramatically elevated my work with clients to new levels! My clients get so much more from me now..real and immediate and tangible results! John's teaching style and connection with his students is inspiring! A big thank you!' ”
