I (Alan Bagley) am a certified NLP Master practitioner and Hypnotherapist which means my certificate is granted by licence from the Society of NLP, formed in 1979 by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It is the first and largest NLP certification, training, validation and quality control organisation in the world. As a NLP Master practitioner and Hypnotherapist I am someone who has learned to use the attitudes, principles and techniques of NLP as they are intended to be used, by its creator, for myself and with others.
