So you want to stop smoking...?

The difference between a non smoker and a smoker isn't just that a non smoker doesn't actually smoke; it's that a non smoker doesn't have the desire or need to smoke.

I can help with this and help to banish that need and desire.  The sessions will be tailored towards your personal needs and specific habit. For example, we will find out what are your particular emotional or situational triggers.  It might be that you automatically want a cigarette when you get in your car, or when you have a drink, or smoke more when you feel stressed. Whatever you particular habit I will tailor the sessions to address this.  Along with this, I will address any concerns you may have about becoming a non-smoker. For example if you are concerned that you may gain weight as a side effect, I will ensure your treatment deals with these concerns so that you feel nothing but calm and relaxed in the situations where you used to smoke.

What makes Hypnosis so successful?

• It deals with your subconscious mind and your specific triggers, therefore stopping you reaching for that cigarette in situations that you normally would.
• It eliminates those negative thoughts – such as the belief you will gain weight when you stop smoking etc...
• Hypnosis can free you from the withdrawal symptoms and leave you only with a calming control of the situation.
• It helps to alleviate stress and anxiety- which can be an aggravating factor and make you want to smoke more. This wouldn't be a problem anymore.
• It is a painless, drug free, patch free way to conquer your habit, leaving you confident and calm.

As well as being free from the anti-social habit and the smell, you will be free to spend the newly available money on what you choose, rather than an unwanted craving!

Indeed, Stop-Smoking treatment is generally recognised as the 'bread and butter' of most hypnotherapists. You will no doubt have seen advertisements telling you that you can stop smoking after one hour of hypnotherapy. Our view is this... Treat such claims with caution! Why do we say this? Because research shows that such claims have limited validity. In fact, the most serious published research on this issue shows the following..
