Hypnotherapy for Smoking
What is a smoking addiction?
Smoking addiction is the compulsive, habitual use of tobacco or nicotine products including cigarettes and vapes. Most smokers don't smoke because they want to. They smoke because somewhere along the way, the habit became an automatic, unconscious response to a situation–stress, boredom, a social setting–that the mind learned to associate with smoking. The interesting thing is that although the rational, conscious mind knows the risks, the unconscious mind has its own logic. And it is far more powerful than willpower alone.

Why is it so hard to quit smoking?
In most cases, quitting smoking is not really about nicotine addiction. In my experience working with smokers, the dependency is almost always psychological rather than physical. Smoking is a response to something happening at a much deeper level–an unconscious pattern that no amount of willpower can override alone. That’s why so many people who try to quit using patches, gum or sheer willpower eventually return to it. The habit lives in the unconscious mind, and that is precisely where cognitive hypnotherapy works.
Cognitive hypnotherapy takes a different approach to stopping smoking. Rather than creating an aversion to cigarettes or relying on willpower to suppress the urge, it works to identify and resolve the unconscious pattern that has been driving the habit. By understanding what smoking represents to your unconscious mind, it removes the desire at its root, so that stopping feels like the only and a natural outcome, rather than an ongoing act of resistance.
How does cognitive hypnotherapy treat smoking addiction?
How many session will I need?
Most people stop smoking after a single session. Cognitive hypnotherapy produces fast, lasting results because it resolves the reason for the habit rather than managing the urge, removing the desire at its root rather than suppressing it.
Please note that an initial consultation is required before treatment begins.
What is smoking really costing you?
The average smoker in the UK spends between £3,500 and £4,500 a year on cigarettes, that is £35,000 to £45,000 over a decade. But the real cost of smoking goes far beyond what you spend. It is the energy spent hiding it, the guilt that follows every cigarette, and the health anxiety that accompanies the habit and the knowledge that despite wanting to stop, you haven't been able to. A single cognitive hypnotherapy session costs £250. For most clients, that is all it takes.
