'Life Skills’ is registered to me, Philip Smith, and is based in Firhouse, Co. Dublin, Ireland. I specialise in the use of personal counselling, clinical hypnotherapy and neuro linguistic programming to facilitate therapeutic change in individuals. In taking a progressive and proactive approach I help people to effect positive change in their lives, and assist them to let go of self-limiting patterns, thoughts and fears, thereby enhancing their overall emotional and personal well-being and encouraging them to realise their fuller potential. I like to think of myself as being a gentle, supportive, and sometimes challenging therapist who can help you with stress management, personal development, anxieties, fears, phobias, bereavement & loss issues, and inner conflict resolution, through the appropriate utilisation of various therapeutic techniques and guidance which facilitates the healing process. After receiving a diploma in Social & Human Studies awarded by St. Patrick's College Maynooth in 1997, I trained for a further two years with the Irish Institute of Counselling and Hypnotherapy in Dublin from which I graduated with a diploma in Counselling, NLP & Hypnotherapy. My qualifications to date also include London City & Guilds Certification (1998) and following additional training with Sensory Systems UK (in affiliation with NLP Northwest, USA) I became a Certified Practitioner in NLP~DBM. I have undergone additional training in loss and bereavement with the Hospice Foundation (Year 2000 Workshop Series). I have previously registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register of UK (GHR) .
