Why Choose Dr Susi Strang & Associates?

We have almost two decades of experience in the arena of personal development. We are a leading provider of Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and Huna programmes. Students who make us their first choice of training tend to stay with us to succeed as Hypnotherapists, or Psychotherapists. Those who come by default, because something has gone amiss on another training, ask themselves "why did I not come here before?" We are regularly asked to ‘grandfather’ students with advanced prior learning and experience.

So what makes us unique?

Location

We are tucked away in the North East of England, on the Cleveland Way, a mile from the surfing coastline and rugged cliffs of Saltburn. The premises are purpose-converted. An old stable block has transformed the lives of many as the ‘Changing Room’ or training room, which holds a maximum of sixteen delegates. Susi's lunches nurture the souls and bodies of delegates escaping the Northeast wind, snuggled around the Aga, with home made soup, breads and patés. The breakout rooms are our home, an old eighteenth century stone cottage.

Many lives have been changed in the ‘magic pantry’ or by hypnotherapy learned on a recliner by the fire. On hot summers days, exercises are completed on garden benches in the sunshine. Many have re-aligned their future, walking the Neurological Levels in the courtyard. Accommodation locally is inexpensive - we even have an NLP Practitioner living in the village who provides nurturing understanding, and delicious food at minimum cost. ‘Planet Skelton’ is far removed from the busy demands of business and family. Delegates can’t not change.

Experience

Craig and Susi have a combined NLP training experience of almost forty years. Trained by leading developers of NLP, including John Grinder, Richard Bandler, Wyatt Woodsmall, Tad James, Robert Dilts, John Overdurf and Julie Siverthorne, our style of teaching is often described as ‘a universal school’ of NLP, because we have modelled the best of all of our teachers’ teaching. All our trainings are informed not only by the feedback from our students but also by the years of assisting other Master Trainers on their Trainers Trainings as we earned our own Master Trainer status. The rich background of our own previous careers brings added dimension to our own trainings. Our extensive experience as psychotherapists and supervisiors keeps our programmes fresh and up to date.

Craig has brought a pragmatic, transatlantic presence to the courses. A former civil engineer his precision and logic has created transparent work-books and CDs recorded and edited by him. With more than twenty years of experience as a hypnotherapist and over sixteen years as a Master Hypnotist, Craig enjoys guiding others on the diploma course in Hypnotherapy.

Susi brings her passion, compassion and diagnostic skills of her past medical career to her teaching. The NLPtCA recognised Diploma in Psychotherapy has proved its success in graduates from six past programmes who have achieved NLPtCA accreditation, and UKCP registration.

The Diploma in Psychotherapy is unique. Written and taught by Susi, a former clinician of twenty years standing, and also a practising supervisor and psychotherapist, she uses her training as a Master Trainer of NLP to make the complex simple and to ensure the success of every type of learner. Susi’s years as a supervisor and psychotherapist bring a safe and experienced backcloth to support the personal development of diploma students.

Recruitment

So why would you choose our trainings? In reality, we choose you. We are skilled in discovering which potential students would enjoy the full benefits of our training. If a caller wants skills and not personal development, or wants to make lots of money with NLP, we are not the right company for them. Recruitment is everything. We recruit people who want to transform themselves and go on to enrich the lives of others.

Ethics and Standards

Susi and Craig believe that certificates are an honour to sign, and work hard to achieve standards of excellence in the trainings offered. Every programme is on a track of continuous improvement. Delegates are carefully recruited and we assist them to achieve success at every level of training. As a company we abide by Codes of Ethics of ANLP, NLPtCA and UKCP. Our certification procedures are rigorous and our certificates are worth having, something of which to be proud. We settle for nothing less than transformation of the individual. Our delegates regularly leave saying ‘This course has changed my life’. Group safety is essential and our assistants are carefully selected from many who seek to learn more by assisting others on their journey.

Variety of Trainings

We offer rich indepth trainings in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. Business Practitioner converts to a full length programme for those who want to advance their skills on Advanced Practitioner (Foundation Level in Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy). Our Advanced Master Practitioner Programme (Intermediate Level in Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy) offers a rich coaching or therapeutic base for ‘Business trained’ Master Practitioners and who may wish to progress to a full Diploma in Psychotherapy. A Diploma in Hypnotherapy is offered for those who wish to transform the lives of others with Hypnosis.

We are known for our integrity, passion, and commitment. Practitioners, Trainers and Psychotherapist are out there, walking the walk of our ecological model of NLP, learned from us, as we learned from our teachers. How exciting is that?!
