Extraordinary!
From day one, I knew I had enrolled in something special.
This course has given me a choice to discover who I am and to eliminate that limiting belief.
It well and truly has changed my life forever. It's a new way of living, and it's nice to finally get to see life from Rose coloured glasses for a change.
It was via zoom; the method of teaching was exceptional.
Gordon's Karizma and style of teaching truly allowed the course to be understood so well by everyone. He has a way of connecting with anyone, which made me feel comfortable.
The team have all been so supportive and helpful; thank you, and I can't wait to begin my other courses; the NLP practitioner certificate is just the beginning!

The courses I have done through the Institute of Applied Psychology have been life-changing, for the better. In fact, very much for the better.
Change is inevitable, so making choices that create the change we want, makes perfect sense.
Gordon is a master of his subject matter, skilled and elegant in his imparting of this knowledge to others.
Importantly, embedded in these skills and knowledge transfer is the entirely ethical and profound adherence to our keeping an environmental check on our own behaviours, thus managing the ability to interact and communicate more effectively and with great care, so that as we influence and help others, it isn't only for our own betterment, as it also is about enhancing our capabilities to outreach our skills to better help others.
As a therapist, I can speak to how these skills allow us to more rapidly assist clients and help them to recognise and change patterns that used to keep them stuck.
The true power of knowledge is in knowing how to apply it well. I thank Gordon and IAP for providing access not only to knowledge, but also on how to apply that in very real terms.
Finding the IAP training course was the best discovery I have made and deciding to complete all the training courses has been one of the top 3 decisions I have ever made in my life.
The shift in my thinking and behaviour, both subtle and substantial, have helped me to create even more powerful and positive outcomes than I had planned.
Thank you Gordon and the IAP Team!
-Kerry Bailey - When making the decision who to train with in preparation for my new career I conducted extensive research to find the most professional, government accredited training provider in Australia. Gordon Young and the team at Institute of Applied Psychology far exceeded my expectations. From the depth of knowledge (two degrees of separation from Milton Erickson), the regular supervised practical application of therapeutic models and on-going support has set me on the path of a successful clinician.
-Geoff Jarrett -
This has been the greatest few months of my life and I’m so thankful for all Gordon (his team) has done to facilitate so much change in myself. I can confidently say that I’m ready to face all that life has to throw at me cause I now take it all with a smile. I recommend IAP to anyone that wants to really break the limitations and boundaries that we set for ourselves!
I can definitely say that this is true freedom! Freedom of the mind in every way possible!
Gordon has made me such a firm believer that anything in life is possible with the right process in mind.
Take that leap of faith and you will be forever thankful
-Neshantha Jayamaha -
IAP are very professional from enrolment to diploma I was impressed by their ability to educate, inspire and support students.
Their progressive support team, assists the graduates to deliver this high caliber of professional services too. I’m very happy with my experience and look forward to taking up more workshops in the future with IAP.
-Arianna Starr - Michael Yapko's session on Treating Depression was more than awesome. He has inspired me as a therapist and as a person. I love his dry sense of humour, his up to date research-based facts and his ability to share his wisdom so clearly and easily. I am humbled and coming back for more.
