Varadapa "Vivi" Thidalapat
Biography

From organisational change to co-founding a federation.

Vivi built her career guiding people and organisations through major change — work that, over time, kept circling back to the same question: what actually makes transformation stick for a person, not just a process? That question sparked her move into NLP, psycholinguistics and hypnotherapy, and it has shaped everything she's built since.

In Thailand, she founded the Life Lab Online Project and went on to establish what is now the Thai Psycholinguistics Association, building a home for practitioners across the region long before IFNLP existed. When Simon Gledhill was gathering the founding voices behind the Federation, Vivi co-founded it alongside him — bringing the same conviction that drove her earlier work: that NLP needed a shared, defensible standard, not a patchwork of competing schools.

As Co-Founder and Master Trainer, she continues to train practitioners across Thailand and the wider region, while helping shape the standard IFNLP holds every accredited member to.
