Nick Kemp demonstrates Provocative Change Works on this DVDNick Kemp's Provocative Change Works DVD

Nick Kemp makes Provocative Therapy accessible to NLP trained coaches and therapists. My recommendation is to get his DVD set from the workshop in Boulder Colorado, watch DVD number 6 - an excellent example of what can be done - and then go back to the beginning and learn how he does it. You may be surprised how much of NLP already depends on provocation!

"If you ever wondered how NLP and Provocative Therapy can be combined, look no further. This DVD has it all... Nick Kemp's brilliant therapeutic demonstrations, exceptional production values including fine music and titles, even screen-in-screen commentary by Frank Farrelly himself! Very well done, indeed.
Bravo, Nick."

Doug O'Brien - NLP Trainer

"In these excellent DVDs, Nick Kemp demonstrates how to use a combination of Provocative Therapy, simple anchoring, submodalities and hypnosis to quickly cure a phobia of needles and claustrophobia, with immediate tests to show that the process was successful. Nice work."

"This is modelling excellence at its best. Not only do you get the chance to view and hear coaching sessions but you get the here and now break down of them. What a great way to learn and what exemplers Nick and Frank are in going with the moment. The discussion between Frank and Nick shows what real life coaching is all about.. friendship, love, humour, spontaneity, learning. I love it all and found myself rushing to get a pen to note some thoughts, something that I rarely do but signifiying something that i want to be sure to capture to experiement with myself."

Sue Knight - Author & Trainer

"No one has done more to promote Frank Farrelly and his highly effective treatment modality of "Provocative Therapy" than Nick Kemp. In 2004 when both myself and Nick met Frank Farrelly for the first time, the only readily available material was the classic 1973 book, "Provocative Therapy". Since that meeting, Nick and Frank have become firm friends and there is no doubt the rest of us have benefitted enormously from this unique relationship. Now with numerous audio and DVD training products produced and promoted by Nick Kemp, Frank Farrelly's work is more readily accessible than ever before.
With this is mind, I had the very great pleasure of attending Nick's "Provocative Change Works" day in Leeds... Having extensively studied Provocative Therapy and seen Frank work one-to-one sessions live with clients on several occasions, I was astonished at the level of expertise demonstrated on the stage. I have no doubt that with his modelling skills, Nick Kemp has managed to "get" the PT model in its entirety. Watching Nick interact with his clients left me in no doubt that he is the very embodiment of Frank's humour, wit, skill and flexibility. I suspect that anyone familiar with Frank Farrelly's style of working will get that spine tingling sense of familiarity when watching Nick work and that the mantle of Frank's ground breaking work has truly found its lineage."

Andy Austin

"The DVDs are brilliant, and perhaps show even more than you realise. It's a lovely masterclass as to the application of your techniques and how you blend them nicely together.
The commentaries are great, inspiring, although I'd love to hear Frank say more - his inputs are insightful. I particularly like your commentary, as it gives a bit more idea of how your mind works during the session. Thanks, it was exactly what I wanted - how to apply the skills I know but from another and more experienced perspective - as well as a new direction to investigate as well.
I put some of the elements of what I have learned from your approach with a client this morning, and actually found that the session flowed more easily, and the results came far quicker. Thanks on his behalf, as that's what I'm doing this for!
I'll be watching the DVD's a few more times to peel the onions a little, and I'm very pleased I purchased it. Thanks! Products like this make study and continuing professional development easy!"

PCW Workshops

I attended the PCW workshop in NYC (aka New Yawk Ciddy) in May, 2009. I have some comments about it... Ok, here I go... It was amazing.

For those of you who are intrigued by the Icon Cards Nick developed..Wow...Get 'Em! Those cards reminded me that human are fast learners. Symbols have been used my humans to teach and to communicate for gazillions of years in all cultures. I was blown away by the "speed" of how I, and I am sure others, quickly absorbed the PCW strategies just by using the Icon Cards - as opposed to the rote listing of possibilities what one can do.

It's like all the details were summed in/as one essence, leaving room for more things to do and to feel pleasure as we learn. Hmmm, pleasure while you learn! What a concept!

It also dawned that Nick Kemp is the only one cataloguing Frank Farrelly's work, and he is and will be the premier source for future generations...Wow!

Nowadays there are far too many theoreticians teaching workshops; that's good; but it has its drawbacks. Theoreticians teach theory.

Period. Nick is teaching from direct experience (sure as well as theory).The difference is that Nick can concretely say, tell you and show you - what works and has works consistently. He, as I like to say - has real-world battle scars. He's a hardened soldier (a Jedi Knight) who can teach recruits from "direct experience." There needs to be more people like him.

Oh, what a killer sense of humor.
