You understand the problem. So why does it still control your life?
The knots in your stomach, the Tuesday bottle, "just this last time", or the motorway with the kids in the back. You may have tried counselling, CBT, medication or willpower, yet the same reaction keeps taking over. I work out what is driving it, then we change what happens next.

“Will this actually work for me?”
Fair question. It's the one underneath nearly every enquiry I get, and I'm not going to answer it with a promise. Here's what people who asked it before you say now.
Stress and anxiety
I was suffering with anxiety really bad, to the point where I wouldn't even go out my house. I honestly could not see any way out.
Drink less alcohol
I'm a practical bloke and this all sounded a bit daft to me. Derek doesn't do daft. He's straight with you, and it worked.
Drug use, Stop smoking & vaping
It took me less than a month to resolve both issues which was cocaine and smoking.
Stop gambling
Went for the gambling. Came out with my head straight for the first time in a decade. No lectures, no guilt trips, just the work.
Fear of flying
Flew to Tenerife in June. Haven't been on a plane since 2011. That's all I need to say really.
Did the whole thing over Zoom from Aberdeen. Honestly didn't think it would work through a screen. It did.
Understanding the pattern isn't the same as changing it
You can know why you worry, know you shouldn’t open the bottle, know the motorway isn’t dangerous and still feel the same reaction.
That’s the bit I’m interested in.
I work with how that automatic reaction is happening now, then we test what changes in real life.
Anxiety and depression Four sessions
What happens if you book a consultation?
-
Tell me what's been happening
We'll talk about the problem, how it's affecting you and what you'd like to change.
-
We'll work out whether I can help
I'll explain what I think is going on, how I'd approach it and answer any questions you have.
-
You decide what happens next
If I think I can help, I'll explain the programme and its separate cost. Then you decide, with no pressure to continue.
What I help with
Whatever brought you here, we start in the same place
Understanding what's keeping the problem going and what needs to change. The Real Change Programme is then tailored around you, what you want to change and the level of support you need.
-
Stress and anxiety
The knots in your stomach, the 3am what-ifs and the corner shop you avoid.
-
Health anxiety
Every twinge becomes the worst answer, even after a clear test.
-
Drink less alcohol
The bottle on a Tuesday after you promised there would be no more booze.
-
Drug use
The sniffing, hiding and next day you keep saying was the last.
-
Stop gambling
“Just this last time” before the wage packet disappears again.
-
Stop smoking & vaping
Twenty a day, the last packet and the vape that still sounds like smoking.
-
Self-confidence
The “not good enough” voice that keeps you from getting yourself out there.
-
Improve your sleep
Tired all day, wide awake at 3am with a vivid imagination.
-
Weight loss
Every diet, the fridge at 9pm and another promise that didn't hold.
-
Fears and phobias
The spider, needle, height or dentist that quietly runs your diary.
-
Fear of driving
The M1, traffic everywhere and the kids in the back.
-
Fear of flying
The holiday you didn't book because leaving the ground felt impossible.
-
Fear of choking
The shrinking food list and the throat alarm at every mouthful.
The bloke you would work with
I've sat opposite thousands of people who'd tried everything else
I’m Derek Chapman. I’ve sat opposite more than 8,000 people doing the worry, drinking, gambling, smoking, self-doubt or fear they understood but couldn’t stop. You won’t shock me, and you don’t need to take me through every painful detail.
I was sceptical too. Forty years of “not good enough” stopped feeling true, so I tested it on three marketing courses before I believed it. I’ve spent six figures studying the work since, created the Russian Doll Technique and trained more than 150 practitioners.
None of that changes you. It means I don’t need to reach for a script when your pattern does something unexpected.

You don't need to work out what happens next
We start with the consultation. I get clear on what you want to change, how the pattern is happening and whether I think my approach fits.
The consultation is separate from the Real Change Programme. If I think I can help, I’ll explain the support I’d recommend, what’s included and the programme cost.
Then you decide.
Start with one conversation
You don't need to decide whether the whole programme is right for you today. Start with an hour together. We'll work out what's happening, whether I think I can help and what I'd recommend next. Then you decide.
