NLP, Matrix Therapies and Hypnosis Training

This NLP, Matrix Therapies and Hypnosis training in Sydney, New South Wales, offers certification as a Practitioner of NLP and Matrix Therapies, with Master Practitioner and Hypnotherapy pathways alongside. It suits business owners, sales professionals, people who manage teams, and anyone drawn to personal development. The training is led by Sonya Furlong, founder of the Centre for Life Therapies in Balmain, Sydney, and a certified trainer of NLP, Matrix Therapies and Hypnotherapy.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of successful behaviour, along with processes for replicating it in your own life. Matrix Therapies are processes for clearing negative emotions and limiting beliefs. Together they are taught as practical skills for unlearning unhelpful habits, communicating more effectively, and supporting others to do the same.

What to Expect

The Practitioner of NLP and Matrix Therapies training combines online and in-person study. The online portion meets weekly on Monday mornings from 6:00am to 8:30am AEST, running from early August to mid December. The in-person block follows in the Sydney CBD, with seven days of face-to-face training, each day running from 9:30am to 6:00pm AEST.

The Master Practitioner of NLP and Matrix Therapies is a nine-day, face-to-face course in Sydney, also running 9:30am to 6:00pm AEST each day. Practitioner of Hypnotherapy training runs on the same daily hours, with 2027 dates still to be confirmed, as are the next Master Practitioner dates.

The material is framed around practical outcomes: building emotional intelligence, communicating clearly in professional and personal relationships, clearing limiting beliefs, and working toward goals with more confidence and clarity.
