The Uncomfortable Truth About Modern Therapy
Your Clients Aren't Broken.
Your Therapy Is.
Why smart therapists are watching sessions go nowhere (and the conversational shift that changes everything from the very first session)
Let's Cut Through The Professional Pretense
Let's Be Honest...
You didn't train for years to become a professional nodder
But that's what you've become, isn't it? A professional sympathiser.
Session after session, you're hearing the same sob stories The same problems. The same "breakthroughs" that don't actually break through anything.
And meanwhile you're thinking: "I'm supposed to be helping people. So why do I feel like a fraud?"
Your clients are addicted to their problems
They love the attention. They enjoy being the victim. They're getting a payoff from staying exactly where they are.
And your training taught you to be supportive, empathic, non-judgemental...
Which means you've accidentally become their drug dealer.
You're doing all the heavy lifting
You're the one desperately searching for insights. You're the one suggesting homework they won't do. You're the one trying to motivate people who don't want to be motivated.
They just show up, dump their problems on you, and leave feeling "heard."
Meanwhile, you're going home exhausted, wondering if you're actually helping anyone.
The Awkward Truth
You didn't become a therapist to read scripts all day, or to be a professional tissue dispenser.
But that's exactly what traditional therapy has turned you into.
The Revolutionary Technique That Changes Lives
Meet Provocative Change Works
The groundbreaking conversational methodology that's been quietly revolutionising therapy for over two decades.
Created by Nick Kemp from Frank Farrelly's groundbreaking Provocative Therapy, Provocative Change Works (PCW) flips traditional therapy on it's head. Instead of endless analysis, you get breakthrough results.
In September 2025, seize your chance to master the methodology that's creating results while others are still "building rapport".
The Revolution Hiding In Plain Sight
What If Everything You Learned Was Backwards?
Why Smart Therapists Go Nowhere
They ask the wrong opening question. Every session starts with "What do you want?"
This puts you in the position of trying to motivate them. It makes clients passive recipients waiting for you to fix them. It creates the exact dynamic that keeps people stuck.
The Conversational Shift That Changes Everything
Instead of asking "What do you want?"
Provocative Change Work practitioners ask a completely different question that flips the entire dynamic.
Suddenly, clients stop being victims and start being advocates for their own change.
You'll discover this game-changing question in the first session of the course.
The Dirty Secret of the Therapy World
There's a small group of practitioners getting breakthrough results while you're still trying to "build rapport".
Their clients aren't "more motivated".
Their problems aren't "simpler".
They just refuse to play the therapy game.
And their clients? They actually change. Fast.
Instead of letting clients wallow in their problems... they force clients to justify why they should change.
And suddenly, therapy becomes about results, not feelings.
Real Results From Real Practitioners
This Isn't Theory. It's Real.

The Power Of Provocative Communication
What Makes Provocative Change Works different?
While traditional approaches spend months analysing problems, PCW creates immediate shifts through provocative conversation.
No forced techniques or awkward therapeutic rituals – just natural communication that gets results.
Using dynamic "stances" and communication approaches to break stuck patterns of thought, PCW focuses on issues in the "here and now", making the change process enjoyable for both practitioner and client.

About Your Instructor
Meet Vic Paterson
I qualified as a classical hypnotherapist with all the NLP trimmings but quickly realised that there's no permanent change in temporary trances.
When I discovered PCW, all that changed - I now actually help clients make real, lasting, positive improvements to their lives quickly and easily - and have fun doing it.
I believe in interactive, hands-on training where you learn how to apply techniques immediately, not just listen to someone talk about theory.
If you're ready to be the therapist people recommend because you actually help them change - this is the course for you.
My PCW Journey
Why I Teach PCW
After years practicing cognitive hypnotherapy and NLP, I found myself frustrated with inconsistent results and lengthy sessions.
Then I discovered PCW. In my first attempt using these techniques, I watched a client who had struggled with anxiety for over a decade transform in under 30 minutes.
Trained directly by Nick Kemp, I've witnessed dozens of similar breakthroughs.
This course distills the most powerful elements of PCW into the streamlined path I wish I'd had when I started.
Don't Take My Word For It
Nick Kemp, Creator of PCW, Says:
"I highly recommend Vic Paterson as an advanced PCW practitioner. She has demonstrated an excellent grasp of the PCW model, but more importantly, has the skills to create lasting changes with clients."
