NLP gives you the tools to overcome self-sabotage, anxiety, procrastination, internal conflicts and more.
With ABNLP Accreditation you are eligible to join ANLP & ABNLP and practice anywhere in the world.
Metaphors
VALUE £1,200
Navigating the landscape of the unconscious.
Metaphors have a big, hidden influence over our lives and we tend not to be aware of how they affect our unconscious mental blueprints and identity structures.
Human thought process is largely metaphorical and in this module you'll learn how to identify the metaphors that impact your life and identity.
Archetypes
VALUE £1,200
Archetypes are unconscious drivers that shape our journey in this world. There are many archetypes beyond the ones we normally think of (King, Queen etc). Perhaps you have an addict archetype, a gambler, or a visionary or an explorer like Amelia Earhart? Perhaps you’re driven by the Healer, or the Sage always seeking new wisdom. Or are you embodying the martyr?
In this module you will learn to understand how your innate archetypal energy is linked to your identity and life path. You will make peace with your archetypes and learn to access the power they bring you – so that you can fully fulfil your potential, develop new skills and be the best version of yourself.
Somatic, Trauma-Informed & IFS-Informed Practice
VALUE £1,200
Providing trauma-informed and somatic coaching at the level of identity.
As an IFS informed EMDR therapist I understand the deep impact that trauma has on the nervous system and on our core identity.
Safe and effective coaching has to be trauma-informed. It requires an understanding of how trauma impacts the nervous system, the brain, and our ability to move forward.
By integrating trauma-informed, somatic coaching you learn to coach the whole person safely with awareness of the neuroscience behind obstacles to change.
Somatic, Trauma-Informed & IFS-Informed Practice
Personal Narratives & The Hero’s Journey
VALUE £1,200
Take control of the story of you. Launch your next adventure.
The stories we tell ourselves about ourselves have a huge impact on our world-view and experience of life.
In this module you will learn how to use the power of the Hero’s Journey and the idea of the seven 'universal' stories to empower your life.
The Hero’s journey was developed by Dr Joseph Campbell in the 1950s. The theory is that all great stories have a similar narrative structure.
You will discover your own Hero’s Journey, and how to find power and wisdom in those events of your life that often feel confusing or painful. You’ll also learn how to shift a victim mindset into an empowering approach to life and challenges.
ICF Mentor Coaching
VALUE £1,900
10 hours ICF mentor coaching included
Perfect your coaching skills and go deeper.
As you perfect your coaching and transformative skills, mentoring helps you refine, improve and develop your unique style. This is where you get guidance with difficult cases, deepen your expertise and broaden your ability to help deeply.

My Approach
Everyone has the power and resources to make their life their own creative adventure.
You are the artist, and your life is the artwork. There is a vision and a spark within us all, a dream, something we know to be authentic and real.
As Life Coaches and NLP Practitioners we help clients bring that vision into the world.
For the past two decades I have been working with smart and passionate people helping them change their lives.
In my training you will not be sitting and listening passively - you will be actively working with the tools and reflecting on what they mean. You'll learn to help others but change your own life and mindset too.
You'll emerge a fully qualified Life Coach and Advance NLP Practitioner, ready to work with paying clients.

I've been helping people change their lives since 2007. My training is informed by two decades of private practice and a strong belief in our ability to shape our lives with intention.
I believe in freedom of the soul, expansion and a life lived with creativity and adventure.
NLP and Life Coaching helped me change my life totally in 2007. I went from unconfident and lost, to having a very successful private practice, living in my dream home, owning a coaching school and fulfilling dreams of adventure.
Beyond being an EMDR therapist and NLP Master Coach, I am an intrepid explorer and adventurer having ridden a motorcycle in Africa and Kazakhstan, slept under the stars in the Rajasthani desert and ridden with wild horses in Kyrgyzstan.
My mission is helping you lead an Inspired, soul-led, self-led life.
My Certification Training isn't about getting it done. It's about getting it done right, and becoming the coach you want to be.

Beautiful safe space to express ourselves
I can be quite introverted, but Nina created this beautiful space during our coaching and NLP training where we felt safe to express our thoughts and feelings freely and as such we grew together, celebrated each other and had formed deep friendships by the end of the course. I didn't want it to end!
I wasn’t sure what to expect as the coaching and NLP training was all online, but I needn’t of worried as Nina has such mastery at making every individual of the group feel seen, heard and valued.

A life-time self-improvement toolkit
I was intrigued by Nina’s boutique-type training offering, as I would polish my Coaching skills, I was using as an executive and as a consultant, in the business world. At a time where there was plenty of uncertainty (Covid) and I felt overwhelmed, I got: A lifetime self-improvement toolkit, an upgraded mindset, some significant shadow work integration (ongoing), purposeful steps in work related evolution and life itself.
The Diploma in Coaching and NLP Master course is brilliantly designed. Nina connects the dots as you learn & practice in tandem. In the process you add a definite layer of experiential sophistication from a skilful field Teacher.

The most wonderful learning experience
Had the most wonderful learning experience with Nina Madden. Totally loved how she delivered the coaching and NLP course, her way of teaching through all her own knowledge and experiences, interactive learning, fun, and how she managed to bring a group of amazing people together, create a safe space for sharing, learning and supporting and empowering each and everyone of us to grow and flourish and become incredible coaches ourselves. Would highly recommend Nina.

Community of Awesome Friends

Dear Nina, Our star motivation, angel, NLP Master Practitioner. Feeling blessed to be part of your magnificent journey – group family. Cannot thank you enough. Please never stop giving your gift. Thank you.

Surprising Results
Since we have been working together, I noticed some surprising results. Not only is the atmosphere better in the flat, with everyone getting on, I have noticed a marked improvement in my performance. I am singing much better – and that wasn’t even what I came to see you for. Who would have known!
