Stopping Smoking

Most people have heard of the use of hypnosis in relation to giving up smoking and indeed it is one of the most common reasons for which people turn to hypnosis. Generally, I aim to have people give up smoking in one session.

When someone wants to come to me for this treatment, I always make sure that they really are ready to give up before I see them. This is because hypnosis supports and reinforces your desire to quit. It will not make you give up if you're wishy-washy about it. Having said this, by the time people ring me, they're usually desperate to give up.

Before we begin the hypnosis part of the session, I would want to find out from you what real difference giving up smoking is going to make to your life. For most people there are health issues and some money ones, but when we get down to it, we can usually find some very individual and compelling motivation for giving up. With this information, I can tailor the treatment to you, linking your desire to quit with your own individual motivations. It's this kind of thing that really helps the work we do to 'stick' at an unconscious level.
