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
Emily
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...

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. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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.

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.

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

Roxanne
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.

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.

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

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.
