Hypnotherapist and mind coach
My name is Derek Chapman, and I became a hypnotherapist and mind coach because it changed my own life.
I’d tried everything, without success. After decades of anxiety and low self-worth, I finally decided that enough was enough. The fear of staying the same was worse than the fear of change.
At rock bottom, I tried a combination of hypnotherapy and mind coaching — and the transformation was profound. It turned my life around.
Professional qualifications
I learnt from some of the best trainers in the world and in 2013, qualified as a certified clinical hypnotherapist and coach.
In the same year, I opened my hypnotherapy and mind coaching practice in Bargate, Grimsby.
In 2017, I qualified as a Master Hypnotist, and as a Consulting Hypnotist in the USA. It was during this time that my first online course was developed — The Anxiety Wheel.
My specialist areas of expertise are:
- Anxiety
- Smoking, gambling, alcohol
- Addiction to drugs
- Fears and phobias
- Fear of flying
- Control your emotions
Since qualifying as a mind coach and hypnotherapist, I’m proud to say that over 8,000 people have freed themselves from thoughts and behaviours which hold them back.
I’d be honoured to do the same for you.
The combination of hypnotherapy and mind coaching
I see hypnotherapy and mind coaching as an MOT for the mind. It rewires and retunes your thinking.
Hypnotherapy gives you open access to your unconscious mind — the place where self-destructive behaviour originates — and embeds new thinking at a deep level.
At the same time, mind coaching allows those positive changes to be maintained. It gives you coping mechanisms and practical strategies to resist any temptation to fall back into old habits.
How it’s worked out for me
These days, my client base is global as well as local — from troubled teenagers to anxious retirees, plus a few celebrities and professional footballers.
I’ve been featured on BBC TV and Radio, and been awarded Best Hypnotherapist in the Lincolnshire Area four years in a row. In 2022, I was the featured speaker at the ICBCH Hypnosis Conference in Orlando, Florida.
I’m also an Amazon #1 Best Seller with my book Turn Sabotage To Success: In Just 7 Easy Steps.
My range of online hypnosis downloads, and online courses for hypnotherapists, are used worldwide. They include:
- The Anxiety Wheel
- The Change Protocol
- Anxiety Solutions
- The Change Protocol for Therapists
- The Russian Doll Technique®
Don’t let fear of change hold you back. I’ve been where you are now. If you’re ready to turn your life around, you can — because I’m here to guide you.
