Our Story
Discover the passion and purpose driving Courtin Mind Academy’s commitment to your mental health journey.
Meet The Trainer
Courtin Mind Academy was founded by Christophe Courtin with a simple goal: to provide practical tools that create real, lasting change.
The Turning Point: Overcoming Burnout & ADHD
Christophe knows first-hand what it is like to live with anxiety, burnout, and the constant mental noise of ADHD. After years of feeling overwhelmed and trying approaches that only offered temporary relief, he discovered hypnotherapy. Not as a quick fix or surface-level solution, but as a powerful way to create change at the level where thoughts, habits, and emotional patterns begin.
The impact was significant enough that it became his mission to help others access the same kind of change, both through one-to-one work with clients and by training the next generation of hypnotherapists.
From Complex Problem-Solving to Mental Wellness
Bringing extensive professional experience to his hypnotherapy practice, Christophe’s earlier career was spent working in IT, solving complex technical problems, and teaching martial arts as a qualified instructor. Supporting and guiding others has always been central to his work. Hypnotherapy allowed him to take that support further, helping people make meaningful psychological and emotional changes rather than simply coping with difficulties.
World-Class Training & Corporate Solutions
Today, Christophe works with local clients face-to-face in Kent through Folkestone Hypnotherapy and runs Courtin Mind Academy as a global professional training organisation.
He is also a licensed trainer with the Jacquin Hypnosis Academy, one of the leading hypnosis training organisations in the UK. Through this partnership, Courtin Mind Academy delivers recognised training programmes that emphasise practical skills, real-world application, and a modern approach to hypnosis.
Courtin Mind Academy offers professional hypnotherapy training for people who want to make a real difference, as well as practical mental health workshops for organisations that want to support their staff in a meaningful way.
Our Promise to You
Whether you are here to learn how to help others, develop professional hypnosis skills, or introduce effective mental wellbeing tools into your organisation, everything we offer is built around one simple principle:
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
