What People Say
The best measure of training isn't simply what happens during the course, but what people understand, experience and are able to use afterwards.
Over the years, we've worked with individuals, healthcare professionals, managers, leaders and organisations across a wide range of settings.
Here are some of the things people have said about their experience of training with Balanced Approach.

NLP Training
“There are many NLP trainers out there but Mark really connected with us and made it real.”
Sarah — Strategic Health Authority
“I really enjoyed the NLP course. Thanks for making it fun as well as thought provoking and genuinely useful.”
Catherine — NHS National Improvement Lead
“I came away with practical skills that I could immediately begin applying, both professionally and personally.”
NLP Course Participant
NLP training with Balanced Approach is designed to be practical and experiential. The emphasis is not simply on understanding NLP models, but on experiencing, practising and learning how to apply them flexibly.
Coaching
“On the coaching course the models provided an excellent platform and interactive sessions were really effective.”
Jacqui — NHS Leadership Manager
“The course gave me a completely different way of thinking about conversations and helping other people find their own solutions.”
Coaching Course Participant
Our coaching programmes develop practical skills in listening, questioning, feedback and facilitating change — whether you want coaching skills for your existing role or want to develop professionally as a coach.
Healthcare
“I attended Preceptor training with our PCT and was staggered how useful Mark's training is to both my work and life. I would definitely recommend him to others.”
Karen — Nurse
“There are many NLP trainers out there but Mark really connected with us and made it real.”
Sarah — Strategic Health Authority
Our healthcare training focuses on the human skills that help make clinical and professional development work in practice — communication, coaching, engagement and developing capability in others.
Business & In-House Training
“We didn't just want an off-the-shelf course so Mark designed one just for us which made all the difference.”
Joan — Natural England
“We have worked with many training organisations and Mark came highly recommended. He is now our key supplier.”
David — Birmingham Council
Every organisation is different.
Rather than assuming that another standard training programme is the answer, we begin by understanding what the organisation is trying to achieve and what its people need to be able to do differently.
From there, training can be designed around the communication, leadership, coaching and behavioural capabilities required.
Training That Makes a Difference
Across NLP, coaching, healthcare and business, our approach remains consistent.
We want people to leave training with more than information.
We want them to have experienced the ideas, practised the skills, received feedback and developed greater confidence in applying what they have learned.
Because ultimately the important question isn't:
“Did you enjoy the training?”
It is:
“What can you now do differently because of it?”
