quit smoking quickly and safely
Why use hypnotherapy to quit smoking?
Hypnotherapy has been established as an effective form of therapy for thousands of years. it has been used since Egyptian times. many established psychological therapies take their roots from the use of hypnosis in the treatment of many conditions. it was studied by Freud who integrated much of his learning about the unconscious mind them hypnosis, into his theories and treatments.
It has recently become evident that in order to effectively treat the smoker who wants to stop smoking, the psychological symptoms and effects also needs to be addressed, “ a smoker needs to be psychologically ready to quit”. Motivational interviewing that is employed by smoking cessation councillors originates from the positive and negative reinforcement that a hypnotherapist will also install directly into the subconscious mind of a person who wants to quit. This involves exploring the health, financial and social benefits of quitting, counterbalanced with the risks of remaining a smoker.
Hypnotherapy has many advantages in the that;
Hypnotherapy has been shown to have a 60% effectiveness against other smoking cessation methods (New Scientist, October 1992), Whereas willpower alone accounts for a success rate of 6% and nicotine replacement therapy alone has an effectiveness of just 10%. Of the many studies conducted into smoking cessation with hypnosis, there is very little promotion into its beneficial advantages over other treatments, as one can only conclude the hypnotherapy cannot be branded, licence and sold over the counter as regularly as other treatments regularly offered to motivated quitters.
So what happens in the treatment session?
A detailed interview is taken regarding your health, smoking history and lifestyle. information is also gathered regarding previous attempts to smoking and motivations for wanting to quit now. This information is essential, as it will help tip the balance in your favour towards quitting quickly, safely and permanently.
You will then be hypnotized - which involves becoming comfortably relaxed, in a state of trance. You will be able to hear everything and visualise images and situations relevant to your individual needs. You remain in control at all times and can achieve equally as effective treatment with a light trance as with someone who achieves a deeper trance.
Ego strengthening statements are installed prior to waking, in order to develop further confidence in handling stressful situations. You are then woken and invited to use the new responses as a non smoker.
Never touching a cigarette from then on will mean, you will have no need for further sessions.
Do you offer a lifetime guarantee?
You can have a boost session within one month of treatment, to help strengthen your confidence and coping responses in any difficult situations you may have experienced.
You should not smoke the first cigarette.
Others, who offer lifetime guarantees imply that you can stop and start frequently and still come back for further treatment.
To me this implies
Why would you pay for something while subconsciously thinking - "well if I just have the odd cigarette, I can always go back and have another session”?
My procedure involves gaining a thorough understanding of your needs and lifestyle, that way you won't need to keep coming back throughout your lifetime.
Save time and get it right the first time!

To me this implies
- That a thorough assessment of your individual needs have not been met during the consultation,
- That you were not committed enough when you decided to stop.
