Gary is a coach, trainer, and developer working at the intersection of NLP, attention, and emerging technologies. With over 35 years’ of experience in NLP, hypnosis, and applied psychology, his work is grounded in a sustained interest in how subjective experience is structured, and how meaningful, lasting change can be facilitated.
His engagement with NLP has been shaped by a focus on its epistemological foundations, drawing on the work of John Grinder, Milton Erickson, and Gregory Bateson. Rather than focusing solely on technique, Gary’s approach emphasises modelling, precision, and the ongoing development of NLP as a generative discipline. Central to his current work is the idea that attention can be understood as a primary organising principle in human experience, offering a unifying lens for understanding perception, cognition, and change.
Gary holds a degree in psychology and a master’s degree in ethnomusicology, and has trained and worked as a teacher of computer science, maths, and physics.
In his coaching practice, he works extensively with high-functioning adults with ADHD and autism, supporting the development of attention, self-regulation, and identity. His work integrates NLP, coaching, and technology, including the use of AI as an extension of thinking and reflective capacity. This has informed the development of his emerging framework, Attention Code NLP.
Gary is also engaged in developing training programmes and frameworks designed to support practitioners in deepening their modelling skills and extending NLP into contemporary contexts.
