Dr Mark Chambers

Mark was a GP in Suffolk from 1985 to 2017. He started to study Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) in 1994 when he became involved with training new GPs. Initially he used NLP techniques to teach communication skills and rapport building. Mark quickly realised that an ability to apply the skills of NLP is useful in striving for excellence in any area.

Mark trained with Dr Richard Bandler, the co-founder of NLP, and several other expert NLP trainers, including Paul McKenna, John Lavalle and Michael Neill. In addition, Mark has trained with John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St. Clair in NLP modelling skills, and with Dr Stephen Gilligan in Generative Trance.

Mark has also learned and applied several Psycho-Sensory techniques including Thought Field Therapy (TFT), Havening, EMDR, IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desenitisation and Reprocessing) and VCART (Visual Coding and Repatterning Therapy). These are all amazingly quick and effective way of dealing many physical, emotional and psychological problems, without resorting to medication. Mark is a Reiki Master and involves and incorporates energetic and Mindfulness-based methods in his work.

Since retiring from General Practice on 2017 Mark has continued to work as an Integrated Health Care Practitioner, Coach and Trainer.

Mark has a Post Graduate Diploma in Hypnosis Applied to Medicine, and is particularly interested in exploring ways of finding answers to whatever issues are arising in the fewest number of steps, incorporating whichever techniques are most appropriate to each, unique situation.

Mark delivers workshops for professionals interested in developing their communication skills and the effectiveness of their consulting. He trains hypnosis to clinicians for the British Society of Clinical and Academic Hypnosis. He also teaches and runs workshops in Mindfulness.

In 2012 the Royal College of GPs appointed Mark a Fellow of the College in recognition of his involvement in training doctors for General Practice and his pioneering work in introducing these Complementary techniques into every-day General Practice.
