SMOKING CESSATION
Can you imagine walking away from cigarettes without a second thought?
No desire to ‘just finish the packet’ or ‘quit at the end of the week’.
Quit without cravings and never worry about a relapse.
With hypnotherapy, this outcome is very possible. Believe me, I was a smoker.

​
Smoking cessation with hypnotherapy is an approach that utilises hypnosis to help individuals overcome the habit of smoking. Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation aims to reprogram the subconscious mind, where habits and addictions are deeply rooted, to break free from the smoking habit.
​
Here's an overview of how smoking cessation with hypnotherapy works:
​
-
Assessment and Preparation: The process typically begins with an initial assessment. I will gather information about your smoking history, habits, triggers, and reasons for wanting to quit. Understanding your unique situation helps tailor the hypnotherapy sessions to your specific needs.
-
Creating a Positive Mindset: Hypnotherapy focuses on creating a positive and receptive mindset. I will guide you into a state of deep relaxation, known as hypnosis or trance. In this relaxed state, your conscious mind becomes less active, allowing me (the hypnotherapist) to communicate directly with your subconscious mind.
-
Addressing Subconscious Patterns: During the hypnotic state, we will introduce positive suggestions and affirmations to your subconscious mind. These suggestions are designed to challenge and reframe the thoughts and behaviors associated with smoking.
-
Replacing Negative Associations: Hypnotherapy will help you to change the way you perceive smoking, making it less appealing and desirable. It involves you visualising the negative consequences of continuing to smoke, then creating new associations with healthier alternatives.
-
Dealing with Triggers: Prior to the hypnotherapy session, you will be given tasks that will help you to understand your individual triggers that lead to you to reach for that cigarette. By completing this personal insight into your individual smoking habit, you will learn how to respond differently to situations that would typically prompt you to reach for a cigarette.
-
Reinforcement and Follow-Up: Successful smoking cessation with hypnotherapy usually involves just 1 session. However, should you require a reinforcement follow-up sessions, this can be arranged.
​
Overall, smoking cessation with hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for individuals looking to quit smoking by addressing the psychological aspects of the addiction habit.
