About Kausar Syed, cognitive hypnotherapist in Hounslow, West London

I am proud and grateful to have been blessed with four children. Life has presented the many usual and some quite unusual challenges which have given me a wide experience of life and people from varied backgrounds.

Over the years I have struggled with and finally over come many of my limiting beliefs regarding being a good enough mother, daughter, sister, wife, provider, carer… therapist/coach… to name but a few.

We can all find ourselves sometimes  muddling our way through many of the situations we find ourselves, with out having undergone any kind of training to fulfil some of the our most important roles in life to mention parenthood as being one!

This has made me realise that we are all doing the best we can with the tools we have.

Also that our best is not merely good enough but actually blooming marvelous.

I have spent a great deal of time and energy – not to mention money on learning about and training in personal development and it was the confidence I gained that lead me to want to share what I have learnt with as many people as possible to enable you to realise the potential that is there in every one of us but for some of us life events can be overwhelming and difficult to escape without a guide.

Another realisation for me has been that the potential for growth and improvement is immense and never ending, a goal we can strive for every day of our lives getting better and better each day.

A Goal worth striving for certainly.

But it is also important to accept that you are already:

  • Unique
  • Precious
  • Special

Just as you are now.

It would be my honour to be your guide.

My Basic Training

To become a Life Change Consultant using Cognitive Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques I chose the internationally renowned Quest Institute and I was most fortunate to pass the stringent selection and assessment criteria required of each individual by Rebecca Sylvester co-founder of the Quest Institute with Trevor Sylvester.

The eminent Trevor Sylvester develops and delivers the courses at the Quest Institute. Trevor is also the author of the Wordweaving Course which enables all Quest Institute Therapists (QIT) to use highly specialised hypnotic language and tailor it to the needs of each individual client.

As a Cognitive Hypnotherapy Diploma graduate I have completed and passed the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). This is externally validated by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and the accrediting body (NCFE).

To graduate and practice as a Quest Institute Therapist (QIT) I am required amongst many stringent criteria to:

  • Complete and pass the HPD
  • Become a member of the NCH and be governed by it’s Code of Ethics
  • Ensure that I am insured
  • Commit to Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

Master NLP Practitioner

I returned to the Quest Institute to be trained by Trevor Sylvester as a Master NLP Practitioner.  Trevor ensures that he builds on the basic training of the Diploma Course and enhances the proficiency of each Quest Institute trained therapist to cutting edge standards, incorporating the latest research and developments in the field of psychology and human behavior.

NLP New Code

I then trained with the accomplished Peter Salisbury in NLP New Code . Peter is one of only a small group of trainers worldwide to have been approved and certified by Dr. John Grinder (co-creator of NLP) to train and certify others in NLP New Code .

Training with Peter gave me another perspective of NLP, an opportunity to hone skills and add more tools to extend the range of techniques I am able to select from to suit the individual needs of each client.

I am most fortunate to be mentored and coached by Peter.  By assisting Peter on his training courses to coach his trainees with a core group of qualified coaches and therapists, I am able to continue improving my competency in all the techniques available and liaise with other coaches/therapists to learn how others might differ in their methods of applying the techniques.

Teaching is one of the best ways of learning how different individuals respond to the techniques.

I remain in close contact with both trainers and attend many events and trainings throughout the year with them and other trainers too, as I am committed to ‘Continuous Professional Development’ (CPD) to ensure that I am always up to date with the latest developments in scientific research to provide my clients with the best possible service.
