Positive Change Hypnotherapy

I went to see Derek about some general and social anxiety issues i have been facing for quite some years now. I cant speak more highly about Dereks service and the positive impact it has had on my life. I can honestly say my issues have dramatically improved and i am now feeling more myself than i have in many years through his hypno. I would recommend anyone suffering with any psychological issue to give it a go! More...

I decided to contacted Derek after repeatedly failing my driving test due to test nerves and anxiety. However after a few sessions I felt a lot calmer and relaxed behind the wheel and I’m pleased to say that I passed my driving test. Would definitely recommend

I had 3 sessions with Derek to address some well entrenched unhealthy eating habits. From the start Derek provided a calm, safe and reassuring space in which I could relax, explain my needs and feel safe enough to fully access all 3 sessions. My eating habits changed after the first session, without me having to 'try'. Since finishing the sessions I have consolidated a new and healthier approach to meal planning and eating. I have not craved or eaten sweet things and feel so much better as a result. I wholeheartedly recommend Derek without reservation. More...

I have known Derek for a number of years and it’s only recently that I felt the call to reach out to him so he could help me with anxiety through Hypnotherapy sessions. I’ve never done this before although I do meditate on a regular basis. I was going through a difficult time in my life where I was confused and felt lost about the direction of my life and this started to take over, I was losing serious sleep over this and some of my thoughts became irrational and there was nothing I could do to snap out of it. From the first session I had with Derek, I came away with a sense of calm and tranquility I hadn’t felt in a long time and knew that something in me had shifted. I felt like instead of being a part of the anxiety that had bothered me for so long, I was now just observing and it wasn’t affecting me in the same way. The anxiety felt like a separate thing to me and it had no bearing on my emotional state. In the second session I had with Derek, I felt happiness and excitement for what comes next not just calmness. I also experienced clarity in my thoughts and im more grounded. I’m very much looking forward to my final session with Derek. If you reach out to anyone for help, I wholeheartedly recommend Derek as the one person you reach out to. More...

I've had 3 sessions with Derek as I was seeking help with my anxiety and fears. Almost immediately after the first session I started noticing a change in me, being calmer and less anxious. I also noticed a lot less fear when faced with something that would have otherwise paralysed me before the sessions. I hope this new found calmness stays with me for good! I would recommend Derek's services to anyone. More...

I had been impacted by stress and anxiety and I find difficult to cope with the big changes and unexpected things in life. Ny wife signed me up for a 3 session program for hypnotherapy with Derek and I am very pleased. I started to notice the changes very shortly after. It helps think clear and take moment before diving into a spiral of overwhelming thoughts. As you are calmer you think clearer and can manage it better. I am very grateful and satisfied with the programe and Derek. He was very clear and made the whole process easy to follow. Definitely recommend him and his approach! More...

The sessions I had with Derek were a revelation for me. He has completely transformed the aspect of my life that I went to him about. The 3 sessions I had with him were massively helpful and his calm, professional and clearly passionate approach to hypnotherapy was a major reason behind the success. I would highly recommend anybody to give hypnotherapy a go with Derek as you WILL NOT be disappointed with the results. I've even booked in for another set of sessions to help me with another issue.

Hypnotherapy with Derek. I highly recommend him and his service. He made me feel relaxed and comfortable from the outset, explained the process and after 3 sessions I’m feeling confident in my weight loss journey. In just over a week since my last session I’ve lost nearly 7lbs!! Don’t hesitate to contact him More...

I can’t thank Derek enough for the support and transformation he’s helped me achieve. I came to him struggling with social anxiety, something that has held me back for years. Through his calm, professional, and genuinely caring approach, I’ve started to feel more confident and in control in social situations. His sessions are powerful yet relaxing, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Derek has a real gift for what he does – I’m so grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a positive change in their life. More...

I went to Derek for hypnotherapy to address my fear of birth, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his guidance. Using hypnobirthing techniques, Derek helped me release my anxieties and build confidence around the birth process. The experience was incredibly transformative — my birth was much quicker and far more relaxing than I had anticipated. Thanks to Derek’s calm, supportive approach, I felt empowered and at ease every step of the way. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to overcome fear and approach birth with a positive mindset.

Its important to note when you encounter someone who has a special gift and Derek has just that. He has created a space of tranquility and peace in order to treat people with various conditions assessing their situation and allowing them to feel at ease. Derek's services lend to a whole host of conditions whether it be serious conditions such as grief, stress, anxiety, trauma or indeed just recalibration of oneself. I would recommend his service and his as a practitioner. More...

I was quite nervous and a bit sceptical if I am honest. Derek was amazing. Put me at ease and explained everything before the first session. I had three sessions and I cannot tell you the diffence in me. I am so so grateful and would highly recommend him especially if you are nervous. Thank you Derek. More...

Derek Coleman knows his field of work thoroughly I feel certain he will be able to help me achieve my goals

This was my first experience of hypnotherapy so initially felt a little apprehensive but had heard great reviews. Derek was so welcoming and reassuring every step of the way guiding me through my hypnotherapy experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, feeling relaxed and rested whilst my loved ones also noticing a difference in me. I’ll definitely return to Derek in the future as and when needed. If you’re thinking about it and unsure go for it! You won’t regret it. Great value for money and cannot fault my experience in any way More...

Thank you so much for your very kind review, Emily. I really enjoyed our time together & I'm so pleased I could help you. Thanks, again Derek

Some good reviews people wonder if it’s made up, this is not. I’m a real person who has used Derek’s services and will be going to see him again.

Derek made me feel important and my life concerns valid right from the first phone call where we discussed what was going on in my life.
At my first appointment we went through how he could help and what to expect. He made me feel relaxed, important and most of all NOT silly for having the issues I did.

Derek is great, during all my sessions he listened to what I had to say and having someone who actually understood how I was feeling and why it was effecting me was half my battle sorted.

I cannot recommend Derek highly enough, great value for money, lovely setting to relax and talk and a genuine person who understands and listens.

Thank you Derek. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 More...

Thanks you so much for your review Simon. I feel humbled by your kind comments & most importantly, that it's helped you on your journey. It was great seeing the positive change in you each week.

I was very nervous at the beginning and Derek made me feel comfortable. I had a total of 3 sessions after after the very first session my life had begun to change. I suffer with claustrophobia and now I am at a point where I am in control and it does not control me.

I would recommend anybody who is suffering with any phobia to go and see Derek who can help and support.

Thank you Derek for supporting me. More...

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure seeing the positive change in you, in such a short period of time. I'm so pleased you were so calm getting on that plane, even with the delay :-)

I was a smoker for 57 years and wanted to stop smoking for health reasons but didn't have the will power to succeed and always relapsed after a day or two. I contacted several hypnotherapists and didn't feel comfortable with them.

Once I spoke with Derrek on the phone I immediately knew that he was the right person for me as he made me feel at ease and could empathise with me and understood my situation.

On meeting Derrek on the 14th June 2023 and throughout the 3 consultations I found him to be very professional and approachable. His excellent communication skills and reassuring manor and support enabled me to stop smoking and take one day at a time and exactly 5 weeks later today July 19th I have been able to resist the temptation to light up a cigarette and appreciate how far I have come.

Thanks to Derrek I am now a non smoker.

Thank you so much for your review. I really enjoyed our hypnotherapy sessions & so pleased you've given up smoking. 57 years of smoking to become a non-smoker is a record for me so congratulations. You should be very proud of yourself..... Take care Derek

Derek exceeded my expectations. Simply the best.
After contacting several therapists I spoke to Derek on the phone and immediately got a feeling of well being .
I was apprehensive about my appointment with Derek but felt I had tried everything else.
From the moment I arrived for my session, Derek’s calm and pleasant manner put me at ease and the clam relaxed state continue throughout each visit.
I am delighted I found Derek and feel that I am cure at last and now thankfully, have my diet under control.
My experience was worth every penny and I would urge anyone with issues of any kind to visit Derek.
Thank you Derek

I went to see Derek after trying so many fad diets I had developed a very bad relationship with food. I couldn’t lose weight for love nor money due to binging and then starving. Eating everything in the cupboard because it the diet was starting Monday that used to last two days.

I had an obsession with the scales and got very upset if they didn’t go down within 3 days like they do when you lose water on a fad diet. More...

I went to see Derek after trying so many fad diets I had developed a very bad relationship with food. I couldn’t lose weight for love nor money due to binging and then starving. Eating everything in the cupboard because the diet was starting Monday that used to last two days.

I had an obsession with the scales and go crazy if they didn’t go down within 3 days like they do when you lose water on a fad diet.

I was in a lot of pain by the time I went to see Derek as a last resort. I now realise I needed to get to the route of the cause and change my learnt bad habits.

I cannot recommend Derek highly enough and I truly believe he wants to help he has a very calming disposition I immediately felt comfortable with him.

I haven’t been on the scales since and have stopped comfort eating when I get home from work. My mind is now telling me that food will be there tomorrow I don’t need to over eat today. I’m genuinely making better decisions with ease opting for smaller portions and not going up to the buffet twice ect…

I’m so grateful I feel cured please don’t hesitate to go to Derek for help. I know I’m now on my way to my happy weight.

Without going on the scales my clothes are fitting better now and I’m feeling a massive sense of relief.

I hope this helps anyone else on pain and struggling with their weight. Sometimes you need to rewire your mind of unhealthy thoughts, good luck. More...

Thanks so much for such a lovely review, Roxanne. It's been great to see the positive change in your mind which will ultimately change your body shape. Thanks again, Derek

Finally at 51 decided to sort out my relationship with food and take control. I felt I needed a little help though and instead of diets and pills, which I had tried before, I decided on Hypnotherapy. I found Derek on Bark and I am so glad I did.
He and I have changed my relationship with food. And after three sessions I am no longer a secret picker of snacks in my office, treat picker after dinner. With the help of Derek from the fist session, I was in control of what I put in my mouth.
I will and have already recommended Derek as it has this has changed my relationship with food.
Thank you so much Derek More...

Thanks for your review Chrissy. It was a pleasure working with you & I'm really pleased, I could help you make the positive change, for your flights. Thanks, Derek.

Very efficient in supplying contact information about hypnotherapists.

Derek was amazing! As a Senior Director I have to regularly present to large audiences. It has always scared me to death & I needed something to calm me down.
I was recommended to Derek from a friend who had said what a great hypnotherapist he was.
Derek made me feel at ease straight away with his incredible calm nature.
I had 3 sessions with him, he not only hypnotised me but also gave me valuable insights from his time of public speaking.
I tested my new skills & my new found confidence in a recent event I presented at for 120 people. It went brilliantly & I am very grateful to Derek.
I’ve recommended him to 2 friends & a work colleague, already. More...
