NBI® Brain Profiles.
One written map of how a brain naturally thinks, decides and connects.
Enquire about a profile
Every NBI® profile is written in partnership with Lauren Kyte, Certified NBI Practitioner and Early Years specialist.
More on Lauren ↓What it is
A structured, written profile of how someone naturally prefers to think, take in information, make decisions, communicate and respond under pressure. Built on the Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI®), used internationally for decades in education, coaching and business.
What it isn't
Not a diagnosis. Not a personality test. Not a measure of intelligence or ability. There is no good or bad result, only your own.

Lauren writes a personalised report from your results.
Feedback session
A one-to-one session to walk through what it means and how to use it.
How profiling fits with coaching
A brain profile is step one of every coaching package I offer, adult, family or teen. It is also available entirely on its own, for anyone who wants the map without committing to ongoing coaching. If coaching follows later, the profile already counts as step one.
Lauren Kyte, Certified NBI Practitioner
Early Years specialist and trained teacher, founder of Future Steps Preschool, with a degree in psychology and specialist training in Neethling Brain Instrument profiling. Lauren has over 20 years of experience in NBI profiling for adults, children, families and executive teams, and brings a school-based, developmental perspective to how children think, learn and process information.
Kate La Trobe, BCBA
Kate brings every profile into practice: turning the written report into coaching strategies that hold up in your actual week, at home, at school and at work.
No. It is not a diagnosis, a personality test, or an intelligence measure. It maps your natural thinking preferences: how you solve problems, focus, communicate, and make decisions.
You complete an online questionnaire, your profile is written up as a personalised report, and you receive a one-to-one feedback session to walk through what it means.
There are NBI® instruments for children, teens, adults, parents, whole families, teams, and couples.
No. Profiles are available on their own. If you do move into coaching later, your profile becomes step one and nothing is repeated.
Profiles are delivered in partnership with Lauren Kyte, Certified NBI Practitioner, part of the Breaking All Barriers ecosystem.
Lauren and Kate are part of the Breaking All Barriers ecosystem, working with schools, families and organisations across South Africa and the UK.
