Meet Doug
Doug's mission is simple: to help you reclaim your life and achieve your potential without spending years in therapy
From Pain to Purpose
Doug, enjoyed a normal childhood with loving parents.
However, in his late teens falling in with the wrong crowd led him into the grip of drug addiction.
Despite his struggles in school, Doug's passion for psychology drove him to pursue evening classes while working as a club doorman.
Yet, this job exposed him to the darker aspects of human psychology, leaving deep scars.
Silent about his pain, Doug witnessed peers succumb to addiction, incarceration, and even suicide.
Unbeknownst to him, he was also trapped in a narcissistic relationship that exacerbated his mental health struggles.
The years of gaslighting and trauma took a toll, leaving him battling depression, social anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy.
Transformation
After the devastating loss of a close friend to suicide, Doug vowed to reclaim his life and support others silently suffering.
Despite battling social anxiety, depression, and low self-worth, Doug committed to honoring his friend's memory.
He delved back into his passion for psychology, pursuing education in various healing modalities and overcoming his fear of being seen.
While working at a brain injury rehabilitation clinic, Doug witnessed firsthand the profound impact of trauma on brain function, sparking a deep interest in neuroscience.
Driven by a desire to help others, Doug immersed himself in his personal growth and challenged himself to find a way to beat his social anxiety and complex trauma so he could share his message with the public.
Though a combination of hypnotherapy, mindfulness and human psychology, Doug was able to reclaim his confidence, even performing stand-up comedy at a London pub open mic, a feat he once deemed impossible.
Commitment to Change
Finding his voice was a pivotal moment for Doug, empowering him to help others. Freed from the symptoms of complex trauma and limiting beliefs, he was able to unlock his authentic self.
Now a bestselling author and viral mental health educator, Doug is blessed to be able to help others to tap into their full potential.
Today Doug Womack is the founder of Success Reclaimed™, a global platform helping people transform their lives after trauma and emotional burnout.
He’s coached everyone from entrepreneurs in Canada and high-level executives, to elite athletes and stay-at-home mums, guiding them to break free from self-sabotage and reclaim their power.
A best-selling author of Screw Being Special, Doug has studied under world-renowned mentors like R. Geka (Managing Depression with Mindfulness For Dummies) and Hollywood actor DeObia Oparei (Loki, Dumbo, Pirates of the Caribbean).
With over 43k followers on Social media, and 200M+ views of his educational content this year alone, Doug is a leading voice in the mental health space.
Why I Do This Work
Once upon a time I sold a successful construction business to dive headfirst into the world of personal growth.
Because I realised that it was my true calling to help others reclaim their life and fulfil their potential.
- I work with a range of clients including:
- High-achieving professionals who feel stuck behind the fear of being seen
- Entrepreneurs battling burnout, imposter syndrome, or perfectionism
- Adults healing from childhood trauma and narcissistic abuse
- Men who’ve been silently suffering and are ready to break free
- Women rebuilding their identity after years of people-pleasing or emotional suppression
- and many more
What they all have in common is this:
They’re ready to stop pretending everything’s fine and start living with radical honesty, emotional freedom, and purpose.
This work isn’t about fixing you; it’s about helping you remember who you were before the world told you to play small.
And walking alongside you as you reclaim your truth, power, and peace.
