Brian Costello started his NLP training and experience while working for one of UK's biggest Wealth Management companies - a firm staging ground for practising many of the techniques both in a personal and business context.

In 2007, he started HeadStrong; his own company dedicated to creating a useable brand of NLP intervention that was both beautifully simple and easily accessible.

His ability to spot the right intervention at the right time and explain NLP in a way that makes total sense has helped him become one of Scotland's most respected NLPers. He is also a specialist in utilising NLP to deal with depression and anxiety issues.

HeadStrong's immensely popular weekend workshops such as The BreakThrough Weekend have been delivered as far a field as the Channel Islands and continue to pack out venues whenever they are held.
