This extract is from an interview I did with Richard Bandler a few years ago when I asked him about Frank Farrelly.
"You know, Farrelly had to be one of the most courageous people on the face of the earth to do the wackiest things he did. It was obvious that he made sure that he made people do new behaviours while they were enjoying it. That meant when they did them again, they weren’t frightening; they were fun. If they’d thought about having their problem again, they would laugh. He was probably the first person to really do neuro-hypnotic repatterning…to tell you the truth. Um. He didn’t think about it in the formal sense that I did. To tell you the truth, when Frank Farrelly described to me his theory, he was as wacky as Virginia Satir and as wacky as all the rest of them. What he did was really great. What I respect about Frank is that he stuck to his guns. No matter how much they told him therapy should be boring or how much they told him he was over the edge, what he noticed is he made people better. "

What the Business community is saying about Nick Kemp
"Everybody enjoyed the course immensely and I would like to thank you for guiding us through a very useful and insightful two days.Great feedback and lots of good work done after the course as well.
Jacqueline de Rojas
Vice President McAfee UK and Ireland
"Our day with Nick Kemp was a turning point. The solutions are obvious as we look back on them! But on the day Nick found us confused and stressed and left us clear and focussed. We changed the company name to reflect the range of products we now have and this has immediately helped to communicate to existing and new customers so much better. Nick's direction has meant these changes are felt within the organisation as well. The ideas came from ourselves with his guidance - and this means we have so much more ownership of the process. The follow-up from Nick has also been welcome - checking, tweaking and confirming the original plan as it rolls out. The focus and clarity Nick brought to us has meant increased sales activity as well as a more efficient work pattern to deal with this. From struggling to striding!"

"We wanted to help our staff consider that there is more than one response to a given situation, and help them explore a range of possibilities in terms of reactions. Alongside that is the awareness of the power and effect of language to help increase rapport, not only with colleagues, but with our customers.
Feedback from Nick's work was impressive, in the highly regulated world of insurance we do have to operate to a script when talking to customers to meet FSA requirements; however we are now looking at the specific words we use.
Additionally our staff are more aware of their 'state' as a major factor in improving our ability to perform tasks, and how to seek to control this."

•Exploring the "Full Representation Hypnotic Inductions" to change client "stuck states" to fluid states
•Time Framing client sessions - how to create a future client session while working in the "here and now"
•Practising the PCW exercises to develop multi-level sensory awareness and exquisite state control during client sessions
•Learning the art of improvised and creative interactions, for accelerated results in therapeutic and business situations
•Working one on one with Nick Kemp as demonstration subject (limited opportunities due to time considerations)
What people are saying about Nick Kemp in therapy and personal change
"You are totally disarming and beyond formalisation. There is ease and naturalness about you and you make people relax really quickly. You got the power man!"
Frank Farrelly, Creator of Provocative Therapy
"Do you know Nick Kemp? - (he is) exceptionally bright, and I have immensely enjoyed communicating...The kind of exchanges that I have been having... are the kind of activities that I think can really advance the field."
Steve Andreas, NLP Author, Trainer, Developer
"Nick Kemp is what a trainer should be."
Doug O Brien - Master Trainer & Hypnotherapist
"I have known Nick Kemp for a number of years as both personal friend and mentor... no one has done more to promote Frank Farrelly and his highly effective treatment modality of "Provocative Therapy" than Nick Kemp. In 2004 when both myself and Nick met Frank Farrelly for the first time, the only readily available material was the classic 1973 book, "Provocative Therapy." Since that meeting, Nick and Frank have become firm friends and there is no doubt the rest of us have benefitted enormously from this unique relationship.
