ABSTRACT
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) coaching is an atheoretical, pragmatic approach which shares a philosophy with constructivist, behaviourist and experiential psychology. It is unashamedly eclectic in its orientation drawing on many psychological approaches. The founders of NLP unlike Kurt Lewin would not say ‘there is nothing so useful as a good theory’. They made no commitment to theory, regarding such as being more complex and not as useful. Instead they described NLP as a meta-discipline. As they studied the structure of subjective experience, their prime concern was a description of how somebody worked without needing to understand why they worked that way.
