//Stephen Bates - The Problem Guru

Stephen Bates - Director of Training for Certain Change   

When running any training course Stephen draws on 15 years in clinical practice, helping people improve their emotional and physical well-being.

Having initially trained as a physiotherapist and subsequently studied (and taught) a number of alternative therapies, Stephen came to understand how the psychology behind illness was often a fundamental issue, leading him to study NLP.

He discovered that the ability to re-programme the mind rather than simply the physical body can ultimately be a far more powerful way of improving personal well-being, manifesting itself in greater happiness and fulfilment, and far better performance in both business and personal life.
