About Us

A Sunday school teacher asked a little girl, “Who made you?”
She replied, “Well, God made part of me.”
“What do you mean?” asked the teacher.
“Well”, she said, “God made me little, and I growed the rest myself.”

How has ‘the growing’ been so far?

For some people, 'growing ourselves' has not always been comfortable. In fact most of us have had a variety of experiences; some which contribute to strong, healthy growth and some we would rather not have had! The latter can lead us to develop self-defeating patterns that get laid down at a deep energetic level. We may not be aware of them, but we are only too aware of their effects:

• Unwanted emotions like anxiety, anger or guilt
• Unwanted habits and behaviour
• Decreased emotional and physical wellbeing

The exciting part is that it is a two way process - you can deliberately shift these unhelpful patterns and initiate new thoughts. It is now, thankfully, generally accepted that the mind and body affect each other; there is not some arbitrary 'cut off' point where one ends and the other begins. You can work with the body's energy systems and the mind holistically, to achieve the changes you want and promote vigorous, healthy growth.

EFT and NLP complement each other perfectly as methods for promoting healthy growth.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)

A recent course attendee, an NLP Practitioner, explaining how she felt having learnt EFT, described it as 'the missing piece'. Physically tapping on meridien points whilst focusing on an issue, allows you to connect with, and then release, issues quickly and easily.

Another benefit of EFT is that it is easy to use, and can be helpful in dealing with just about any problem you can imagine, emotional or physical. Once you have learnt the process, it can form an invaluable part of your personal 'fitness' regime.

More information on NLP

Many people experiencing an NLP training ask,
“Why didn’t they teach us this at school?”

We asked the same question and decided to do something about it.

Inner Sense was born out of a passionate commitment to learning and the belief that being able to be in control of your own thoughts, feelings and behaviour is the most important factor in continued wellbeing and effective learning.

We started taking NLP into education through tailored INSET packages, which was incredibly rewarding ….but they kept wanting more!

We have worked with LEAs, Dyslexia Associations, individual schools, teachers, students and parents and have had a special association with the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre.

Eventually, at the prompting of Nina Guilfoyle, (see her in ‘Meet the Team), we decided that it was time to ‘walk our talk’ and ran our first NLP Practitioner Certification Programme.

Eleven years and many practitioners later, she is still keeping us on our toes and focused on our mission.

“To enable people to be the best and most of themselves that they can be.”

We now have course participants from a wide variety of backgrounds, all benefiting from effective learning and the opportunity to ‘grow the rest’ themselves.

About Our Courses

We like to keep the numbers big enough to give participants a variety of experience and small enough to still know everyone’s name! Consequently groups are limited to 18. Since effective learning is important to us, a group of this size allows us to constantly monitor, support and give individual feedforward on participant’s progress.

Assistants on all NLP courses have achieved Master Practitioner or above. Assistants on EFT courses are all AAMET certified Level 2 Practitioners.

One thing that is different about an Inner Sense NLP certification programme is that we teach all our Practitioners to Mind Map. Weekends are then structured to include active Mind Mapping of the previous module, both content and personal learning. We have found this to be an excellent way of enabling participants to integrate knowledge, with the bonus that they acquire a ‘value added’ skill.

We now also incorporate Image Streamimg. Nina Guilfoyle was trained by Dr Win Wenger, the developer of Image Streaming. This incredible tool will enhance your visualisation and 'crank' up your creativity.

The training venue for our NLP and EFT courses is
Hamblin Hall Bosham near Chichester West Sussex.

What people say ...........

Thank you very much for your excellent facilitation and leadership of the course. I learnt so much and it reinforced previous learning. Thank you for being such a wonderful model.

CW Trainer

‘Just being born is a miracle, to grow and make a difference in this wonderful world is grace indeed … but to live a life that touches others is amazing beyond compare’ You’re the difference that makes the difference: thanks for everything.

AS Company Director

Many thanks for such a wonderful course; it’s the best that I have ever been on and is having a big impact on both my personal life and professional work. I think everyone should do an NLP course!

SW Teacher

Thank you five thousand times! I really saw how brilliant you are last weekend
when you had attended to everyone over ten months and turned us all around
without our being really aware of what/how you did it. Your ‘hands-off’ style is
 so effective. I am amazed each day to see the life changes.

SP-S Therapist

Over the past 10 months you were encouraging us ‘to notice’ …. And I did, but
never so much as in this last couple of weeks since being ‘certified’. This NLP
stuff really touches every aspect of your life doesn’t it? Not that I always get it
right, but so very often after (or usually midway) a bolt of inspiration and understanding hits and I think ‘No wonder …. If you say/behave like that, then
you’re going to get that response – next time I’ll ……..It’s great! So one huge THANK YOU, for such a tremendous course so faithfully and congruently
delivered.

DW Teacher

What a year! It has been wonderful. You are a great facilitator and motivator
Jenny and together with John, you make a dynamic pair!

GL Teacher

My life has certainly been enriched by knowing you and doing the course this
year. … I am now back to unconscious competence and accepting ‘I am enough’.
This course has been an eye-opener into how I function.

CB-L Teacher

Thank you so much - I am calmer, even ‘eager’ to go to work. I am
maintaining a more flexible approach to children’s behaviour/moods. I can
even cover a class at a moment’s notice without bursting into tears. … I am
more confident and have more idea of where I am, where I want to go and
what I want to achieve

JC Teacher

Thank you for everything, not just being a great teacher. I have enjoyed it
and learnt so much: this year has been NLP for me and I feel much better for it!

JH Student

Jenny, Thank you so much for this year. You have been a real inspiration
for this cynical psychologist!

DS  Psychologist

I cannot even express how grateful I am. I thank you so much, I’ll never
forget you.

IS Economist and Mother

Thank you for everything. I had no idea what to expect from the course - I’ve
enjoyed every moment and I’m sure our paths will cross again.

PD Psychotherapist

I am more confident and focused. What I have learnt/am learning touches
everything I think, say and do. It’s given me a sense of real growth. I feel more
in control and that actually, I have got a lot to offer.

JC Teacher

Knowing I choose how to feel or take comments, and when to let go, is like
knowing a great secret. Thank you.

RL Inclusion Co-ordinator
      Children’s Centre

The course has really made me stop and think, especially with the
children, making sure I give the right signals. I have also learned how to give
myself space and time to respond, making communication more effective.
It has also made a big impact on family life. At home I have been able to use
many of the strategies naturally, rather than thinking about what is going on.
Generally I have learnt to notice a lot more … I have learnt a lot more about
myself and how I can improve my communication and relationships with others.
Thank you.

I have realised how important it is to step back from everyday situations … I
nowfeel more relaxed and in control in an uncertain and hectic work
environment.

HR  Early Cildhood Service

I am far more aware of my own reactions, thoughts and behaviour, and how
this impacts upon others. I discovered how to have more control over my
ongoinginternal dialogue, which again affects my demeanour and
moods.
                                                   KM  Sure Start

This course has made me rethink how I interact with children; how they
perceive me and how much more I can do to impact on their behaviour.
On a personal level, the course has enabled me to develop a closer relationship
with my daughter: I have learnt so many strategies that have made my personal
life less fraught and family life so much less fraught.  I have so enjoyed my
Monday evenings! For once I have felt as though I have been learning something
to benefit myself and it has impacted on my personal life as well as my
professional development. – Thank you.
