Provocative Change Works for Phobias (PAL DVD)

"I watched it twice!. It's a charming, British statement. You were amusing; you really get her laughing!, very very impressive!"

Frank Farrelly on DVD of Nick Kemp working with a client

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

"From the perspective of a person who actually works with clients to help them eliminate a variety of phobias and anxieties, I can highly recommend Nick's Provocative Change Works for Phobias DVDs. Over the years, I have noticed that workshops or seminars captured on video are seldom well filmed, and if they are, the material that is captured is sometimes too heavy on theory and too light on practical teaching. Even some of the pioneers and megastars of the NLP world deliver material that is more about the sizzle than the steak. With Nick's material, the teaching is very practical, and the tools that are used are pointed out quite clearly along the way. In fact, Nick's approach here is that he tells you what he will do, then he does it, and then tells you what and how he did what he did. This is important because the repetition and the pointing out of the tools enables you to think about what Nick did, how you might do it for yourself (similarly or differently), and because it's a DVD rather than a live training, you can rewind and watch it again and again to pick up what you may have consciously missed the first time around. I hope you enjoy and get as much value from this set as am I."

Tom Eagles, www.mindfx.ca

"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."

Steve Andreas NLP author, trainer, developer

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

"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!"

The Adventures of Well Being Now (CD)

I'm a bit biased as I met Nick recently, 22 Jan 2009
and my wife trained as an NLP Master Practitioner with him, but this is brilliant. You can listen to it without really paying attention to the words as the Ericksonian stuff doesn't make a lot of sense to the rational mind anyway, and you'll feel chilled, focussed and also quite creative afterwards.
Highly recommended and a par above the McKenna and Harrold products. Definitely for the more discerning and thoughtful person.

Excellent magical journey, 9 Nov 2007
I just reviewed the About Time CD and this reminded me to comment that this CD is probably the best of all hypnosis CDs I have listened to and is full of wonderful stories and deep relaxations. There are 4 central tracks, 3 and 4 using the NLP technique of nested loops to create a powerful series of state changes for the listener.

Great meditation and NLP combination, 19 Jul 2006
My friend Glenn also reviewed this and as we bought it together I wanted to add that it has superb production and as someone with 27 years experience of meditation I love the voice and the texture of how the music is arranged. The use of incremental relaxation using counting and letters is inspired, although may not be suitable for a casual person interested in very basic relaxation! It takes the listener into a Lewis Carrol type journey and will suit those who have wonderful imaginations and a sincere love of deeper spiritual insights. This CD has been reviewed by many regular Amazon reviewers as well as some other NLP trainers, all of whom agreed it’s an excellent piece of work.

Wonderous journey into deeper spaces - Be amazed!, 22 Oct 2003
Adventures of Well Being Now is by far the most transformational product I have discovered this decade. From start to finish I am captivated time and time again and with every new opportunity to listen I discover more.
Nick Kemp is clearly a master in his field, twirling language like a magician's wand and directing the conscious mind into all kinds of magical moments. Nick's varied tonality allows his voice to blend curiously well with the music, with surprisingly good effects. I'm not usually one for Audio CD's but this gem is in a league of it's own.
Whichever way you can...get your mits on it and give it a spin!

Magnificent CD, 11 Dec 2003
I bought this cd on impulse, not really knowing what to expect. I was really blown away by the profound state of really deep relaxation that this cd generates: listening to this cd is a truly spiritual experience - potentially life-changing! The music is simply magnificent (I speak as a classically-trained composer) - it is warm and embracing, and gives a feeling of awesome vastness. You'll treasure this cd for years!

REAL INSIGHT(S), 4 Jan 2004
Nick Kemp has achieved something quite remarkable with this CD. By mixing skilfully crafted music, and in language that everyone can follow, he carefully guides the listener through many of the concepts of meditation. But more than this the CD gives anyone the chance to experience some of the altered states of consciousness that meditation promises. The music may remind you at times of "Revolver", while the opening tamboura-like drone, and tabla, point to the source, Nada Brahma - Sound Is God. Truth seekers and sceptics alike will find flashes of insight here that might lead to further exploration, which I guess is what Nick Kemp has set out to encourage. Highly recommended

An eye opener, 14 Mar 2004
This CD works wonders. I entered a deep state of relaxation the very first time I used the CD. And I still feel great now, over a day later. On one level, this CD would be fantastic for anyone who suffers from stress or anxiety. It calms both the body and the spirit and one is taken on a journey of self discovery. There's nothing to be afraid of here and those of you new to meditation and the like would do well to "experience" this masterpiece in order to get a feel of the benefits meditation can bring to your life.
The music is awe inspiring and you will experience many different things throughout the course of using this CD. The benefits are amazing. This is truly a journey you won't want to end.

[Amazon Review] Mr. M. L. Drury "martindrury72" (England)

"This is a very interesting CD using hypnotic language techniques to take you on an adventure discovering deep relaxation as well as facilitating change. We are sent many CDs and audiotapes from therapists for review, but it is truly unusual to come across a product that is as effective and professional as this offering from Nick Kemp. As well as being a useful tool it should be of great interest to those who wish to use the more complex language techniques inherited from Milton Erickson's great work. Highly recommended!"

Anglo American Books

Wow, new CD's from Nick Kemp? Can I get one? I always look forward to newrecordings from Nick. He is doing something beneficial (one of my most highly valued criteria) that I'm sure will be of great use to listeners. With his emphasis on creating good intentions, the relaxing hypnotic rhythms of the music and a unique sound, these adventures in relaxation are in a category by themselves.

Michael Breen, Master Trainer of NLP

"The hypnosis CD 'Adventures of Wellbeing Now', by Nick Kemp, is quality from start to finish. Great sound, skilful Miltonian suggestions & superb music that complements the trance-work rather than obscuring it.Whether you want to get a deeper insight into hypnotic communication, or just want to relax and enjoy deep relaxation, this CD has a great deal to offer.Well done Nick!"

Jamie Smart, Director of Training, Salad

"My company provides specialised products forNLP seminars on an international basis and am proud to be able to stock Nick Kemp's CDs"

Uwe Boehm,
Boehmmolnar, Germany

Well, I 'travelled' your Adventures of Well Being Now. "Wow!" - it is REAL deep stuff - which I wasn't quite prepared for as it is so rare.

Louisa Mills, Cygnus Book Club

It's hard to provide a proper review for Kemp's work owing to the difficulty of listening to it consciously all the way through. There's something you need to know about Nick Kemp and that is his near pathological need to produce fine quality. On learning that there were so many poor quality hypnosis/NLP CD's already out there, Kemp set out to redress this situation. His audio quality is perfect, the language patterns designed and delivered exquisitely and the binaural music a sheer delight. But what is this CD all about? I honestly could not tell you - I love it!

About Time (CD)

"This is an outstanding aid to inducing hypnosis. Especially effective are the combinations of drones and unusual rhythms that aid the induction of deeper trance states"

Anglo American Books

I'm interested in the phenomenon of time and time distortion, and this product seemedgood value compared to others available.
Reading the reviews of many hypnosis products whether for sale or free, a popular comment seems to be how quickly the author slips into trance, and the difficulty of listening to it consciously. Many times, I have listened to the same recording and found far less tendency to drift off. However, I then purchased 'About Time'.
I listened to it several times, enjoying the state changes and the ride it gives. I then decided to listen more consciously to discover what is being done, to know the wizard's secrets. Each time I've listened to parts of it before drifting off, each time it ends and Idecide I need concentrate more next time. This is a process that continues, so while its interesting for me, there is the challenge of commenting on something that I may not have entirely listened to.
'About Time' is divided into two interconnected parts, the first takes the listener on a hypnotic journey to explore time, and experience techniques for speeding up and slowing down time. That is what the product is advertised as offering, but it contains much more. There is a lot of material for skill and personal development, and suggestions for making the adjustments, as the listener is lead into creating moments in which anything is possible. There are some great auditory anchors for various states including time distortion, and really clever uses of language. Nick's voice is good for trance, peaceful, unintrusive, as it replaces internal dialogue, and state changes become anchored to voice changes. The accompanying music is relaxing and emotional with unusual rhythms and sounds.
The second track is Story Time, a collection of unique and very hypnotic metaphors exploring the ways we use and misuse time. The seeds are sown hypnotically for people to change their outlooks and lives, as that voice speaks to our arrogance, our insecurity, and the fallible royalty in us all.
There is much more to 'About Time' than 'just' time and time distortion, and lot of NLP and other fields included. This is definitely one I would recommend, I actually got more than I expected, which is rare with most products.

Letters To Your Unconscious

"Recorded in 2003, and based on Kemp's received experience of spirit traditions. This CD is built on the science of Human Alchemy. It’s a blend of largely Greco Hebraic ideas which has shaped our existing western world view. He equally invites you to consider other spirit traditions, such as those much older, found in Kamit or in the East (Kundalini). All of which invite you to step into a place of stillness which gives you answers as what to do next.
Kemp uses his love and mastery of word sound and language to submerge you in these teachings designed for you to ‘know thy self’. He sets the tone up front that deals with alchemy as the foundation of creation. He progresses into his separate letters to allow you to further absorb yourself in this area.
Each letter is a letter of secret alchemy teachings. Each letter puts this CD into a very different category to other self development, hypnosis, creative visualisation CD’s. They really help you find the stillness, which gives you answers to what to do next.
Each letter to the subconscious addresses your personal success machinery.E.g. one letter directs your thoughts around the main shaping factors of the mind which we see cultivated in Kamitian Kaballah and Kundalini teachings and culture. Basically, asking you what ‘internal movie’ you are projecting onto your internal movie screen. Another letter points to the genii in each person, who is in us, the archangel. In essence the CD asks you what you want to focus on which would be wonderful, and to try it on. The letters are practical as well as educating you on spiritual principles.
I would recommend this CD for those who want to practise not having to prove anything. To just coming from a place of ease and wellbeing."

Therapeutic Excellence 8 DVD Set

Therapeutic training needs to be more than a set of scripts and techniques.

In this workshop Andrew T. Austin and Nick Kemp demonstrate many of their models of working with clients in genuine clinical and therapy settings. For many people entering changework as therapists and coaches, their experience of working with people using changework techniques is limited to the training room. Frequently, these trainees subsequently discover that the paying client behaves quite differently from the fellow trainees that they practiced on in their training workshops.

In these recordings of a masterclass held in Leeds during April 2009, both Andrew T. Austin and Nick Kemp discuss and outline many of their attitudes and methodologies they use when working with paying clients in their established and successful private practices.

Austin draws on many of his experiences in working with psychiatric conditions and problems, whilst Kemp explores many of his ways of working that were developed from the legendary Provocative Therapy model developed by Frank Farrelly in his own "Provocative Change Works™" approach.
