What does it mean? Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a counselling model based upon how people think, feel and behave. If we break down the term, we can better understand the cornerstones to the model.

Neuro – focusing on how the nervous system and thoughts, feelings and actions influence our behaviour.

Linguistic – the verbal and non-verbal signals we use to communicate with others.

Programming – the repetitive and predictable ways in which we conduct ourselves.
