WYL Power Workshops

The Power of doing What You Love – WYL Power Workshops

Nik is an experienced Psychologist, who in over a decade helped thousands of Clients. Utilising the 3rd wave Psychological approaches to training and treatment called Functional Contextualism (contextualscience.org), Nik has developed a framework called WYL Power. The advantages of this approach is that it generates ‘positive motivation’ from the participants to actively engage in the workshop. Such experiences are personally rewarding and result in the participants continuing to grow their skills long after the workshop is completed. Nik’s training is heavily experiential as he believes that the best way we learn is through our own lived experience. During his workshops, Nik offers participants an opportunity to have positive lived experiences.
