My name is Lisa White: I run a Private Practice specifically tailored for people who feel they are too clever for counselling and still need help. I consistently provide a first class service to Clients across the U.K who are looking to make permanent positive change(s) within their lives. Trained to levels of excellence that meet not only British standards but also those of International stipulation, I offer a new and exciting approach to turning your dreams into your reality. Using a unique blend of modern Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, Hypnotherapy and practical Coaching skills, together with an exquisite intuitive talent, I specialise in helping serious minded individuals get to where they want to be, regardless of the point at which they start.

The Silent Revolution of the 21st Century!

I believe the down to Earth basics are: Issues exist, everyone has them and most people do not respond well to advice! Much of the time we push our issue(s) aside, pretend they are not important and do not hold us back. This is particularly, and ironically, true for intelligent individuals who feel they are too clever for counselling. So, we continue to fool ourselves (and others) into believing that we are fine, with this bad habit or that major hang-up. "It's what makes me, me"... yet something within you begs to differ. That 'something' is your Subconscious Mind. I have learned the secret combination that will enable you to unlock your true potential and find your solution, without being subjected to unwelcome, meaningless 'advice'.

My approach involves more than just positive thinking! I will encourage you to venture outside the usual realms of possibility in order to achieve the life you really deserve. I will show you how to Open Your Mind... And Let Yourself In! Discover the Quantum World of your Subconscious Mind and unleash the power within that will allow you to live the life you want.

About Lisa White

Ok, pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable! I was born in London to a misfit Mother and a wonderful Father, who separated shortly after my birth. Between them, I had the best of both Worlds: The upbringing I received from my Mother sharpened my survival instincts, made me streetwise and taught me how to rely on my wits. I saw things that a child should not have to see and learned early on that life had a dark side. She gradually progressed through various stages of decline until finally giving in to the bitter sweet call of alcoholism. In contrast, time spent with my Father can only be described as idyllic and often seemed to be over too soon. He demonstrated such kind and gentle love and made me feel as though the World could just about disappear around us! He gave me strong moral values and taught me about compassion, forgiveness and respect, for myself as well as others. He also instilled in me a solid work ethic. One of the most powerful traits I received from him is a dry sense of humour.

Another huge influence in my life was my Dad's Mother. My beautiful Nan and very best friend in the whole World. She lived through the Blitz and believe me, I learned a lot from her! We were extremely close and the example she set was profound; it is intrinsic to the essence of who I am today and the roots from which all my practical parenting skills stem. Her loss, in 2006, was devastating and the ramifications continue to be felt. With a twist of irony, it was my Nan's influence that helped me through the initial grieving process! I truly felt as though I ought to cease functioning because she deserved that level of impact and yet, I could 'hear' her telling me about all the people she had loved and lost and where exactly would I be if she had crumbled that easily? Suffice to say, she continues to keep my feet firmly on the ground!

I was married in 1997 and had my daughter in 1998... followed by my son, in 1999. Respect for my children's feelings and wellbeing prevents me from revealing details of my marriage so you will have to content yourselves knowing only that bringing it to an end, as soon as possible, was a wise move! I learned many lessons and eventually decided to identify a positive spin to place upon my experiences; by adopting a genuine positive mindset, as opposed to a negative one, I discovered that my life choices increased dramatically. One important decision I made, following my divorce, was to find a way of healing a back injury that I had sustained without medical/chemical intervention. I am still travelling along this particular path and, thanks to the phenomenal power of NLP, I can report that the healing process has been accellerated beyond that which I previously thought possible.

My two children and I are happy! I believe that all the hard work I invested in their early years has paid off, even though it didn't always seem that way; especially after being dragged out of bed for the umpteenth time, only to be greeted with vomit... then there were the times that I truly believed they'd grown horns and were having an absolute laugh at my expense by deliberately pushing me to the very brink of insanity and demanding that I tolerate more than anyone else had, in the history of existence, ever!

So, we laugh a lot, squabble a fair amount and get annoyed with eachother on a regular basis. Our home is a safe place in which to express our different emotions and to explore our complex and ever evolving personalities. I have learned more about myself from my children than from anybody else and they continue to keep me on my toes on a daily basis. The exclamation that takes my breath away every time I hear it is when one of them says, "I love being me". It is the single most valuable gift anyone can possess; to love themselves.

NLP and Me

I can absolutely guarantee that I walk the walk as well as talk the talk! One thing that my NLP journey taught me is that it's almost impossible to use old words to describe a new experience and still give an accurate explanation of it. For example, think of dramatic scenery and take a photo of it, then try to explain that scenery to someone who wasn't there. Equally difficult is trying to find words that meet the emotions felt upon seeing a new born baby. With this in mind, I will do my best to describe how I felt, at times, whilst gaining my NLP qualifications: It was as though a giant invisible force shoved its hand down my throat, went all the way down to my toes, grabbed hold of them from inside, pulled them up through my body until I was inside out... it then played squash for a few months with the inside-out me.. before putting me right way in again. I told you it's hard to explain these things and I'm afraid that that is the closest analogy I can find, without sounding ridiculous!

NLP chose me, as opposed to me choosing it! As a single Mother on income support with a mortgage to pay, I knew that it was time to re-evaluate my life. I found the Society in which we live to be too commercially driven and false; people chasing hollow dreams and aspiring to be famous 'just because'. I knew that I wanted more from a career than I had experienced previously and it was important that I maintained a work-life balance that fitted in with my beliefs and values as a Mum. Among other subjects, I studied Philosophy (with a view to going to University) and gained distinctions all the way, however, I realised early on that Uni was not the direction in which I was travelling. I stumbled across the concept of NLP through a friend which, timewise, coincided with a book I was reading (Syncro Destiny by Deepak Chopra) about there being no such thing as coincidence! I looked further into NLP until I realised that I had found my calling. NLP is, fundamentally, the study of the structure of excellence at both conscious and unconscious levels. How better to implement this concept than by applying it to my own life! I founded Too Clever For Counselling And Still Need Help? and I continue to realise my own dreams, as do my Clients!

Conclusion

Writing the above proved more difficult than I originally anticipated. Choosing to reveal my personal details to you took me on an emotional rollercoaster, as I usually prefer to keep such things private. I also found it wonderfully liberating! How can I expect you to place your trust in me, if I am not prepared to open up to you? It was extremely taxing for another reason too; trying to condense my life into a few short paragraphs almost drove me mad! I haven't told you about my sister(s) or my lovely Step-Mum, who is from Trinidad and as crazy as a box of frogs! Nor have I mentioned the time I spent in the Maldives all by myself and the sense of perspective I gained from that experience. I have not yet told you about the life changing moment that occurred as I sat in a Philosophy lesson, during which Jean. P. Satre's theory of "Existentialism" was presented to me by my unforgettable tutor; the moment at which I realised Life really is what you make it!

I, like you, have encountered a variety of people throughout my life and I learned something from all of them. My friends are important to me and I spend a great deal of time in the company of one in particular; Jenn. (Mainly because she lives closer to me than my favourite friends so it's hard to avoid her without arousing suspicion.) We share a deep understanding of each other and subscribe to the same set of values... providing we stay away from political debate! We laugh all the time, at each other and ourselves, and spread positive energy where ever we go.

My philosophy (at the moment) is; life is too serious to not laugh, and to laugh does not mean you do not take life seriously!
