"Do you know Nick Kemp? - (he is) exceptionally bright, and I have immensely enjoyed communicating...The kind of exchanges that I have been having... are the kind of activities that I think can really advance the field."
Steve Andreas, NLP Author, Trainer, Developer
"Nick Kemp is what a trainer should be."
Doug O Brien - Master Trainer & Hypnotherapist
"I have known Nick Kemp for a number of years as both personal friend and mentor...
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 first "Provocative Change
Works" course 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 truely found its lineage, and his experience and dedication
to detail makes him one of the best trainers and change work therapists in the UK today."

"Had to say I saw the 3 minute wonder on channel 4 tonight called 'My Amersham' which you did the music for, and thought it was wonderful, incredibly hypnotic, and was especially impressed with the music, I was stuck to my seat. I googled your name and wanted to send a note of appreciation."
Jonathan Green
"Nick Kemp has modeled two different simple processes which are part of his Provocative Change Works™ set of tools for working with anxiety and other strong emotions that I have found enormously useful in working with clients. He has also modeled the different patterns in Frank Farrelly's Provocative Therapy so that they are easy to learn. In addition, he is everything you might wish for in a colleague - available, creative, eager to discuss ideas and learn as well as teach."

"Nick Kemp, what a guy, I mean he's really something else. He helps
people get rid of phobias that they've had for 34 years. Well the BBC heard about him
and they went and saw what he was doing and... 'We want you on, you know, every week'
and stuff like that and said 'Why don't we do a couple and so he did'. This is BBC
radio and so he did it. People called in and stuff like this you know. So then they
got so excited because the calls... the switchboards just lit up like a Christmas tree
you know. So any rate this one gal... he would do this help her get rid of her phobia
'Are you sure you want to get rid of this phobia now'? She was terrified of birds,
any kind of birds. Anywhere near her. Any kind of bird for 34 years. And her husband
said 'That's all true too'. Everything. She had to go round them etc. He got her.
He did the therapy and then walked her outside and they followed her with cameras and
stuff like that and they showed the studio audience... and she was feeding the pigeons.
And her husband said 'This is surreal, it's unbelievable'. This can't be true, but
there it is.
The BBC wanted him every single day for the rest of his life but he said 'No, no, no,
once a week is ok'. On his website and on mine he talks about (a) having heard about
Frank Farrelly (b) Frank Farrelly's still alive and doing workshops and Frank Farrelly
is coming to England and where? Finally he finds out down in Bournemouth which is on
the south coast and on both those two websites he talks about his experiences of coming
to a workshop and he's a big NLPer and has worked with Richard Bandler. So he thinks
"I'm going to follow this guy and see what he does". If you're interested in NLP and
provocative therapy you want to read his stuff on the internet. What a guy. What a guy.
And he's got a heart of 144 carat gold!"
