About me

Hi, my name is Katina Chapman and I have been a professional hypnotherapist since 2013.  Since launching a private practice I have personally helped thousands of people from all over Norfolk and Suffolk from my offices based in Lowestoft and Norwich. I also offer appointments via video conference using Zoom.

“My Mission is for everyone to take care of their mental health every day.”
My mission is to help everyday people vanquish fear and conqueror their anxiety so that they have the confidence to follow their dreams.  My aim is for taking care of your mental health to be seen as a normal everyday practice just like eating healthily or exercising.

Being a hypnotherapist is great. Most clients are new to the subject and do not know how much – or how quickly – hypnosis can help them. I help people get rid of their problems in just a few sessions. This naturally amazes people, especially if they have had the problem for many years. Some problems might take longer to eliminate but the only way to find out is to start!

For more information call  (01502) 587 341 or 07847 552 390 now. You’ll be glad you did!

I work with people who are looking to make positive changes in their lives. Many of my clients are looking to manage stress, get rid of fears and phobias, lose weight, reduce pain, and adopt a new set of habits easily. Habits that are realistic, that meet their goals, and that they are happy to live with for the long term.

Before becoming a full-time therapist, I spent over 25 years, working in Human Resources. My key driver was to make a difference. During this time I worked closely with many people to help them overcome anxiety and stress, build confidence, and re-empower their lives. I used NLP-style coaching as well as the more esoteric skills of meditation, mindfulness, and other spiritual practices.

I am a qualified clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Mindfulness Practitioner, Meridian Based Therapist, Sound Therapist, Crystal Therapist, and Coach.  My offices are based in Lowestoft and Norwich; I also offer appointments via video conference via Zoom.

I work with my clients to help them make the changes they want.

I first discovered the powerful effects of hypnotherapy when I was looking to find ways to help my husband manage his chronic pain, following an accident in 2009, which left him with a crushed spine. Being a therapist I knew alternative therapies worked and after we found out that the damage to his spine could not be operated on, I started looking for other ways to help him.

I completed a short course and was blown away by the results my husband, Neil and I managed to get. On a pain scale with 10 being unbearable and 0 being no pain, we managed to temporarily reduce his pain from a 10 to 3. I was amazed. Inspired by these results, I then enrolled on a longer course, later completing my masters in Hypnotherapy.

Since then I have been honoured to help many people change their lives and become happier, healthy and in control.

A few examples of clients I have helped include a young girl, who was afraid of flying, to fly for the first time to be a bridesmaid in Greece. I helped a boy with a severe fear of dogs, that he'd had his whole life, become relaxed around dogs and even get a puppy. I helped a business executive who was struggling to manage stress, increase productivity, and be less stressed at the same time.

I love helping individuals and groups make positive changes in their lives. Nothing encourages me more in my business than hearing the next client who says ‘You’ve changed my life.’

I make positive changes with clients in the minimum of sessions possible. I offer a telephone consultation free of charge and will give an honest opinion as to whether hypnotherapy is the way forward or not for an individual’s issues.

COVID Update – 5th November 2020
I want to reassure you that I am still able to help you with any anxiety-based condition, stress, fear, depression, or sleeping issues that you may have, even in these most difficult times.

Given the Government's guidance to stay at home unless absolutely necessary along with the closure of close-contact services, I have temporarily moved all my appointments online.

Remember I have lots of free resources on my website. If you are struggling with anxiety or finding your relationships feeling strained. or need helping to improve your sleep, check out my free hypnosis recordings and tips: https://katinachapman.co.uk/

1. Am I still seeing clients?
Yes! I am continuing to see clients online. I’m here to help. Through live online video conference, using Skype or Zoom, we can go through the hypnotic process as if we were together in the same room. I’ve been holding sessions online for years and since March the majority of my sessions have been online with clients.

2. Is it as effective?
Absolutely! Research shows that online sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions. Hypnotherapy online has exactly the same outcome as face-to face-therapy. The only difference between seeing me in person and having a session online is that you don’t have to travel to me. Once we begin the process, it’s the same quality experience.

A typical hypnotherapy session begins with a conversation about your goals and a brief explanation of what hypnosis is. Then, once the formal hypnosis process begins, typically, you are sitting in a comfortable chair, relaxing with your eyes closed. At this point, it doesn’t matter whether we are in the same room together or not.

3. What do I need for an online session?
You can use your desktop, tablet, or even your phone. Sessions can take place in the comfort of your own home or your office. Anywhere where you have a good internet connection and can sit comfortably without being disturbed.

4. Client feedback
Live online video sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions. Sometimes they can be more effective because we can get that result in the environment where you most need the support. Imagine the changes in your health and your focus when we hypnotically create the results in the environment in which you want to produce the change. This can be especially effective if the habit or behaviour you want to change is something you do at home or at work for example overeating, smoking. or trouble sleeping.

Check out my testimonial on 27th October from Chloe whose sessions were wholly online:

"Katina has changed my life. I suffered with an issue which has bothered me for 4/5 years, something which has really affected me emotionally. On top of that I also suffer from stress and anxiety. I have had 3 sessions and I feel so much happier, I have now overcome my biggest issue & it’s really helped me with my anxiety too! I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy to anyone who suffers with stress and anxiety it’s changed my life. I feel so much more happier and free with life."
