From Frank Farrelly to Nick Kemp To You
The origins of provocative change Works
In the 1950s, Frank Farrelly discovered something remarkable at Mendota State Mental Health Hospital. After years of using traditional person centred methods with minimal success, he tried the opposite approach during a patient's 91st interview. Instead of empathically understanding the patient's negative self-view, he agreed with and amplified it. The result? The patient immediately defended himself and discharged six sessions later. Nick Kemp expanded this approach into Provocative Change Works (PCW), now recognised for creating rapid change across therapy, coaching, business and sports.

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.
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, and my PCW Foundations course will give you PCW techniques you can use to help clients straight away.
If you're ready to be the therapist people recommend because you actually help them change - this is the course for you.
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."
