Our Story
Discover the passion and purpose driving Courtin Mind Academy’s commitment to your mental health journey.
Our Mission
Helping people think clearer, feel better, and create lasting change, because we’ve been there too.
Courtin Mind Academy was created by Christophe Courtin, someone who knows what it’s like to live with anxiety, burnout, and the constant hum of ADHD. After years of feeling overwhelmed and overlooked, he found what actually worked: hypnotherapy. Not quick fixes, not surface-level advice, but real change at the level where thoughts, habits, and emotions begin. The impact was so profound, it became his mission to bring these tools to others, both through one-to-one sessions (via Folkestone Hypnotherapy) and by training the next generation of hypnotherapists.
Before becoming a therapist, Christophe spent years solving complex problems in the IT world and coaching students on the mat as a martial arts instructor. Supporting others has always been his default setting. But once hypnotherapy changed his own life, he knew he had to take that support to a deeper level.
Today, Courtin Mind Academy offers professional hypnotherapy training for those ready to make a real difference, as well as practical mental health workshops for organisations that want to support their staff in a meaningful way. Whether you’re here to learn how to help others, or you’re an HR leader looking to improve mental wellbeing in the workplace, everything we offer is built around one simple idea: real tools for real change, delivered with honesty, clarity, and care.

Kind Words
Christophe delivered a fantastic, engaging session on ADHD and hypnotherapy, blending deep insights with humour and personal experiences. A brilliant hypnotherapist, he made complex topics easy to grasp, offering practical techniques for focus, relaxation, and emotional regulation.

Having attended other events with Christophe in the past (…) I attended Christophe’s “Martial Arts for Mental Health” with optimism, I did it with the usual anxieties I face and wanted help with. My fears were soon dispersed with Christophe relaxing and friendly style. (…) I can highly recommend this specific event and Christophe personally. His way of using simple, practical examples for dealing with seemingly complex personal situations is such a great approach and one I respond to well.
Looking forward to the next one!

Attended an excellent workshop on Anxiety, its causes and ways to work on yourself and clients — followed by a session of amazing hypnosis that took me way deep and calmed me down.
Thank you Cristophe
