Hypnotherapy to stop smoking works– why?
Because Clinical hypnotherapy uses the power of the subconscious mind to create change- change in the way we think, feel and behave. Smoking- just like any other behavior is learned and just like any other behavior, can be unlearned.
How will a hypnotherapy session with you make me stop smoking?
Its quick: I offer a two hour and half hour session to stop smoking using Clinical hypnotherapy. In just two hours 30 minutes, you could stop smoking, be healthier and financially better off.
It’ll save you money: No more spending thousands of pounds a year on cigarettes. In just two hours you will potentially be saving a small fortune that would have otherwise been wasted on cigarettes in future years to come.
Hypnotherapy deals with the cause- not just the effect: Unlike most other treatments- hypnotherapy is aimed at treating the underlying issues of why people smoke. Just not the behavior itself.
It works: Hypnotherapy research findings have been significant and success rates high.
There are no side affects: Stop smoking medications such as Zyban can have side affects that are sometimes as worse as the symptoms whereas Hypnotherapy has none.
Research has proved success with stop smoking using hypnotherapy
In 1992 the University of Iowa conducted a study about smoking cessation using 72,000 people to conclude that that hypnotherapy is three times more effective than nicotine replacement and fifteen times more effective than willpower.

Just some of the clinical based evidence that hypnotherapy works for smoking cessation
- 21 patients who received a stop smoking cessation hypnotherapy. At the end of the session, 81% of those patients that received treatment reported that they had stopped smoking and 48% reported abstinence at 12 months post treatment. 95% of patients reported feeling satisfied with the treatment they received.

- 226 smokers were referred to a smoking cessation program. They were treated with a single smoking cessation session intervention using self hypnosis. They were then followed up after a two year period. 52% of the group achieved total abstinence from smoking. (from one session!)These results may be modest however they are clearly significant in comparison to other more spontaneous methods to stop smoking.
