Emma McNally

NLP Trainer, Coach, International Speaker and Author

Hi I’m Emma,

​A long time ago now, I was let into a secret – a secret that literally changed my life. That secret was NLP.

It is now my mission in life to spread this secret far and wide – to help you to live a happier and more fulfilled life. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a business owner, a manager, a parent, an educator, a health worker, a coach, somebody who wants to help others…or indeed just committed to getting back in the driving seat of your own life, I can help.

The way I run my business is like a family – once you have trained with us, you are one of us (if you choose to be!).  You become part of a close-knit, supportive community who will become your cheerleaders!

I create a safe, supportive and fun space for you to discover who you REALLY are once all the “shoulds” and “musts” and “have tos” have been removed. I will support you to look deep inside yourself and ask yourself THAT question: what do I really want?  And I will teach you the tools and techniques to get there.

Alongside my NLP training qualifications, I have over 30 years of business experience in the public and private sector, an MBA (Masters Degree in Business Administration) and an ILM Level 7 Certificate in Executive Coaching and Mentoring. That means that I approach my training with insight and strategy gleaned from multiple industries and disciplines. And that means that YOU can be sure that you are receiving professional training at the highest level.

I am here to help you achieve your greatness. I’m so excited to meet you and share your journey of self-discovery.

Hugs Em x

NLP Practitioner

If you are interested in signing up for the NLP Practitioner course, I would highly recommend Emma as your trainer. Incredibly knowledgable and versatile she makes learning an absolute joy. You also get personal positive change as well as a certificate at the end of the course - what’s not to love!


Insightful, engaging and an all round super experience

So much more than a fantastic learning experience. It was a delight to explore this subject in such a supportive environment that allowed us to take risks, build confidence and indulge our curiosity. I will be signing up for my next NLP adventure with Emma very soon.


Alex Allan

Excellent training

I signed up with Emma for the NLP Practitioner training. It was an amazing experience! Emma is a hugely professional and experienced trainer. She is also very warm and personable and made the course a very enjoyable experience. I’d highly recommend picking Emma as a trainer for all levels of NLP - you won’t regret it.


Emma Dodgson

NLP Practitioner Course

Emma McNally delivers a comprehensive, thought provoking and entertaining course on NLP. Emma's training style is friendly, fun and encouraging. She demonstrates her mastery of NLP by answering questions about NLP for any context and is able to adapt to today's challenges training remotely. I have been able to use NLP since my course, using lots of amazing learning and helpful tips from Emma and have enjoyed great results. Emma's courses on NLP will provide you with a wonderful insight into NLP and can even change your life !


Melanie Knight

NLP Practioner Course

A massive thank you to Emma. Having has an interest in NLP for many years, I am so glad I finally took the plunge and signed up for a course and more importantly Emma's course. Emma is so full of energy and passion for the subject it literally shines out of her. This energy makes it so easy to learn and enjoy. Emma uses all her experience to guide us through the different tools, and we were all constantly surprising ourselves that this stuff actually works, even when us novices are practicing. Due to the pandemic, we had to work most of our course virtually via a Zoom call which I was a bit dubious about, but it was absolutely fine and actually more beneficial in many ways. If you are thinking about learning about NLP, I 100% recommend Emma - Go For It - you won't regret it. ?


A stunning course that delivers so much more than information

Thank you, Emma, for inviting me into a fabulous community of people who speak my language. After spending years studying personal development, this course I feel has brought everything to life. It's like seeing life in 4D for the first time.

The Practioner Course is jam-packed with theory and time to implement creating personal change whilst learning how to coach others. I was able to stop biting nails, reduce sugar intake, and overcame a fear I had of frogs?!!! Plus I have grown in confidence and made friends.

I know this will propel both businesses and my personal relationships too. Thank you Emma!


Paula Fisher

NLP Practitioner Course

I have just completed the NLP Practitioner course and it was awesome. Emma is an amazing trainer/teacher. The course was really well structured and everyone was totally engaged (Emma was obviously hitting all the primary representational systems and using all the predicates!). I would recommend Emma 100% for this and anything else NLP. A really big thank you Emma.


Charlotte Noon

Core Transformation course

I was excited to attend this Core Transformation course to add to the NLP services I offer to my clients. The added bonus, however, was the huge transformative effect that the 3 day course has had on my own personal wellbeing.

Emma is a fantastic course leader – warm, approachable and very knowledgeable. I instantly felt at ease in the safe space that she created. In fact, I felt so supported during the weekend that I chose to use the process on a trauma which I had been carrying for a number of years. The transformation was fantastic! I feel that I have finally been able to let go of the negative feelings associated with that time and I feel so much lighter as a result. I am so grateful to Emma for the sensitivity and understanding she displayed whilst supporting me through this.

The course was incredibly well-organised and the course notes provided were really clear. I can’t wait to start sharing this process with my clients!

I highly recommend attending this course both for gaining skills as a practitioner but also to experience some beautiful deep changes for yourself. I feel as though I’ve returned from a retreat, rather than a course. Thank you, Emma.

NLP Practitioner training

I completed my NLP Practitioner training with Emma McNally in July and wow does she deliver!!! NLP is amazing and totally transformative but what makes the difference is what a fabulous trainer Emma is. She holds the space beautifully, is super knowledgable abut all things NLP and above all else she makes it so much fun! If you're curious about NLP I thoroughly recommend having a chat with Emma. Learning NLP is like developing a super power; it's an exceptional tool to add to my skill set and business. Thanks so much Em, I'll definitely be doing more training with you in the future!

Emma McNally

I have worked with Emma over the past 3 years and have been impressed by her professionalism, resilience and unique ability to balance being personable, flexibile and accomodating with being firm, directive and efficient in her work.
I have attended a number of her courses and have found them all highly educational, enjoyable, full of substance and, above all, transformative.
I have also had 1-1 coaching sessions with Emma, which have been an integral part of my professional development. Emma's sensitivity, empathy, energy and coaching experience have been invaluable enablers of my career progression and personal development.
My trust in Emma's expertise is based on the following:
- She is always in a resourceful state, which inspires confidence in her as the coach/trainer
- She has a remarkable ability to identify the key issue at hand and always picks the right tool to deal with it
- Her superior knowledge and experience in NLP and associated techniques is evident and enables her to be highly effective in tackling almost any situation.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Emma as an NLP proffessional.
I would enthusiastically recommend the courses that Emma has developed and delivers.
I would unreservedly recommend Emma as a coach at all levels but particularly as an executive career coach.
