Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy
Many people have tried to stop several times. Hypnotherapy may help you change your relationship with cigarettes and strengthen your motivation to stay stopped.
Hypnotherapy may help with this, but I do not claim it cures medical conditions. We will always talk through whether it is a suitable approach for you.
Why stopping can feel so hard
Many people have tried to stop smoking several times. Nicotine replacement, willpower and vaping may help for a while, but cravings, habits, routines and stress can pull you back. Smoking is often tied to particular moments in the day, to emotions and to how you reward or calm yourself.
How hypnotherapy may help
Hypnotherapy may help you change your relationship with cigarettes and strengthen your motivation to stay stopped. In a relaxed, focused state, many people find it easier to reconsider long-held habits and associations and to build new, healthier responses to cravings and stress.
What we will cover
At your consultation we talk about how long you have smoked, what you have tried before, what smoking does for you and why you want to stop now. Your own motivation is the most important factor. We then agree a plan together. Hypnotherapy is a support, and I cannot guarantee that you will stop.
Getting ready
- Think about your reasons for wanting to stop.
- Notice when and why you smoke, such as after meals, with a drink or under stress.
- If you take regular medication, or have a health condition, mention it at your consultation.
Common questions
How many sessions will I need?
It varies from person to person. We will agree a plan together at your consultation.
Can I use hypnotherapy alongside other stop smoking support?
Yes, many people do. If you are using nicotine replacement or other support, tell me at your consultation.
What to expect
Sessions take place online by secure video, on Thursdays, and last around 45 to 55 minutes. Your first consultation is free and confidential. We talk through what brings you to therapy and whether hypnotherapy is right for you. You stay awake, aware and in control throughout.
