Stop smoking with hypnotherapy
You’ve probably tried everything — from nicotine patches, gum, and sprays to the cold turkey cliff edge.
You might have switched to vaping, only to find the dependency has become worse. You’ve traded one bad habit for another.
If you want to break the habit for good, hypnotherapy to stop smoking is the best way to do it. I’m so confident about its effectiveness that if you’re ever tempted to go back, you’ll get a free standby session.
You weren’t born addicted to nicotine. The body doesn’t need it in order to feel normal. You can feel good without it.
Commitment to change is the first step towards a happier life. It costs £75 for an initial no-pressure meeting. Are you ready to take that first step?
Hypnosis for smoking and vaping
When you’re a smoker, the mind becomes very good at finding reasons why you can’t stop — it’s relaxing, you’re too addicted, you’ll put on weight, the withdrawal symptoms are too unpleasant.
Hypnosis and mind coaching are a powerful combination. Hypnosis identifies the causes of your addiction, while mind coaching trains the subconscious mind to respond differently to smoking triggers. It strengthens your power to take control of them.
So far, the process has worked for more than 8,000 people. It will work for you too. Here’s why:
- It helps you identify the reasons why you smoke
- You break the thought habits which prevent you from stopping
- Mind coaching gives you tools and techniques to deal with cravings and withdrawal
- You learn how to use your inner power to resist going back
- You gain control over the smoking habit
You have a choice. Stay as you are — or do something to change it. Can you imagine how it would feel to be free from smoking?
Actually, don’t just imagine it. Book an initial 60-minute meeting to see how we get on together. It’s a positive decision and the first step towards a healthy life.
How hypnotherapy for smoking works
Everyone’s smoking habit is slightly different, so the therapy will be individually tailored. I’ll start by asking about your own smoking, and the reasons for wanting to stop.
During hypnotherapy, I gradually bring you into a state of deep calm which is similar to sleep, although you’re awake and aware of your surroundings. You can break out of the trance at any time.
While the body is completely relaxed, your thinking is intensely focused. It’s this heightened awareness which opens your mind to positive suggestions. They connect on a deep level with the unconscious.
After just one session, you might start to notice a difference. After a few sessions, the changes can be transformative.

FAQs
Generally, 4 to 6 sessions will usually be enough to change your habitual thought patterns. After that, I’m available to support you while you maintain the positive change.
Contrary to what you see on TV shows, it’s not dramatic. You’ll feel a sense of deep relaxation and heightened awareness. At no point will you lose control.
Your attention is so focused that it creates a comfortable detachment from your surroundings. It’s similar to the relaxation associated with sleep, although you won’t actually fall asleep. You’re conscious and in a state of intense concentration.
It’s this hyper-concentration which opens your mind to new ideas, suggestions, solutions to your problems and positive transformation.
You can be hypnotised — although the depth of the trance varies from person to person.
To gauge this, I’ll start by asking you to imagine a sensory experience which involves visualisation, touch, smell and taste. It helps me tailor the sessions so that they’ll work for you as an individual.
The depth of your hypnotic state makes no difference to its effectiveness. Your experience of hypnosis won’t be the same as someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked.
The results will become obvious when you go back to your everyday life. You’ll start noticing constructive changes, resilience and a new resourcefulness to cope with difficulties.

No. There are lots of myths and misconceptions about hypnotherapy, most of them from stage hypnosis. The people on stage look as though they’re under a spell.
In fact, these people are probably somnambulists. They are chosen to be part of the show because they have good powers of visualisation and a tendency to sleepwalk. Also, they’re extroverts. They enjoy being on stage.
The aim of hypnotherapy is to empower you to realise you can change. We agree on a goal and I make positive suggestions to make sure you achieve it.
