What to expect
What you'll learn
You'll learn through practical, easy-to-follow online modules, delivered via Zoom and designed to build real skills you can take straight into your sessions. Each module builds your skills step-by-step, with live practice and expert feedback.
The Foundations of Ethical Practice
First things first, we dive into how to hold a safe, ethical space for clients, so you feel confident navigating sensitive conversations and so your clients trust you and open up faster.
An Introduction to NLP
Understand how NLP works and how to use its core tools to shift stuck thinking, break through internal barriers and create change for yourself and your clients.
The Difference That Makes The Difference
Learn anchoring techniques so you can help your clients take control of their emotions when facing any kind of fear, self-doubt, or resistance.
Working With Maps of The World
Understand how your clients really see the world - so you can shift deep-rooted patterns and unlock powerful breakthroughs in sessions fast.
NLP Tools For Procrastination and Motivation
Help your clients get out of their own way and into action - whether they're avoiding tough decisions or holding back on their goals.
The Power of NLP and Linguistics
Master the language of transformation and learn how to ask better questions - so your words land with impact, open new perspectives, and guide clients to real change.
NLP Tools And The Subconscious
Learn how to work beyond surface-level thoughts and access deeper patterns - so you can support lasting change, not just temporary fixes.
NLP Tools For Transformational Shifts
Learn how to confidently deliver NLP sessions and how to choose the right NLP tools at the right moment - so your sessions feel smooth and impactful every time.
NLP Tools For Limiting Beliefs and Self Doubt
Break through self-sabotage and imposter syndrome - so your clients start believing in themselves (and you believe in your work too!)
This work won't just change your clients' lives… It will transform your life too - in ways you'd never expect!
NLP teaches you how your brain works, and how to use it to your advantage…
So when self-doubt tries to creep in, you know exactly how to switch into unstoppable self-belief.
So when you feel overwhelmed, you know exactly how to reset your mindset and focus instantly.
So when you're feeling stressed about your business, you know exactly how to rewire your brain and shift into calm, clear action that moves you forward.
The change you want to see in your clients starts with the change you experience yourself.
Inclusive by design
I want you to know - everyone crosses the certification line

I say this at the very start of the course - and I mean it with my whole chest: Everyone crosses the line!
- Every session recorded, captioned and supplemented with written materials
- Animated videos you can slow down or speed up
- Audio recordings
- Scripts
- All complex concepts simplified

Our students
Hear it from the people who've done it.
“I have been a part of Sarah's advanced coaching certification. After two other certifications I can say that Sarah's went into ten times more detail and used evidence-based tools and explanations. It also helped me personally, as we practised in the sessions and could bring in real-life problems and get coached. I am already a far better coach than I was before this certification, and my clients feel the same. Sarah's energy is amazing, and the course feels safe and welcoming. I would totally recommend Sarah and this certification to everyone who wants to become an amazing coach.”
“I completed the AC Advanced Coaching with NLP diploma with Sarah to refresh my coaching skills and learn more about NLP techniques. Sarah created a very safe and inclusive space to learn and practise with a wonderful group of women. What I particularly enjoyed was the way she applied the evidence base behind everything she taught and aligned it to her applied experience as a coach. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a thorough and recognised certification which includes executive level, via a more contemporary and engaging delivery approach.”
“I have just completed the January cohort of the AC Advanced Coaching with NLP diploma taught by Sarah. I can highly recommend the course. The information was well presented and organised, and Sarah's teaching was high quality, well researched and resourced. She provided a safe environment to practise, make mistakes, learn, discuss and explore coaching models and NLP. The sessions were uplifting, empowering and informative. I have learnt so much and met wonderful professional women who will now be lifelong friends and colleagues. Thanks Sarah.”
Your trainer
Hi, I'm Sarah Makinde
As a Chartered Psychologist, Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist and NLP Trainer, I help coaches, therapists, and consultants who know they could be going deeper with their clients to unlock the power of NLP and create real, lasting change for both their clients and themselves.
Before starting my business, for years, I'd put myself down at every opportunity. I'd focus on my 'weaknesses' and ignore my strengths. I'd stay quiet, blending into the background, afraid to speak up. I was stuck in a loop of doubt and self-judgment.
Then I discovered the power of NLP, Coaching, Positive Psychology and Mindfulness. My own journey from feeling unseen to stepping fully into my power is the foundation of how I teach and coach today.
I've transformed my life and my business using everything that I now teach other people to use. I also understand the fear, the doubts, and the frustration of trying to learn something new - especially something as deep and transformational as NLP.
Over the last 20 years, I've helped hundreds of professionals add coaching and NLP tools to their work - and become confident in creating rapid breakthroughs and grow a thriving practice. Now, I'm here to guide you - every step of the way.
