Loran Northey GQHP, GHR Reg. Lic Mstr NLP
A change of direction after years of management roles saw Loran completing training in childcare and further management/coaching. Loran then went overseas and into the Tour operator industry for more than a decade. Her success was heading overseas teams and meeting high expectations, meaning that motivational skills and different techniques had to be used and continually changed with each individual, in order to get others and the teams as a whole, to excel. Being mentor and on-hand coach meant an early interest in the Human mind and its dynamics.
Amateur studies and interests were pursued in NLP, Psychology and Coaching until a return to the UK in 2004, where Loran trained with Valerie Austin, (possibly the world’s best female hypnotherapist and hypnotist) and qualified as an Advanced Structured Hypnotherapist. The love of what this taught her and further curiosity, led to more training the following year with Paul McKenna Training Ltd (trained by the leaders in the field of NLP-Michael Neill, John La Valle, Paul McKenna and Dr. Richard Bandler-NLP Co-Creator) with the Practioners and Master NLP Practitioners training. You can find out more about Loran on her own website www.lorannorthey.co.uk
