Stopping smoking with hypnosis
Stopping smoking is not simply a matter of willpower. Cigarettes become part of familiar gestures, breaks, stressful situations and social occasions. This is often where attempts to stop run into difficulty.
What you may be experiencing
- You have stopped before, sometimes for several months, and then started again.
- You associate cigarettes with particular times of day.
- You are concerned about cravings, irritability or gaining weight.
- You know why you want to stop, but something holds you back when the time comes.
How hypnosis may help
Hypnosis allows us to work with automatic habits rather than relying only on a conscious decision. Together, we explore the place cigarettes occupy in your daily life and how to draw on your own resources to do without them. The aim is not to deprive you, but to make stopping easier to sustain.
How sessions work
The support is offered as a package of four sessions: one longer initial session followed by three follow-up sessions. This format allows the change to take root over time rather than relying on a single session.
You can also view the session fees and practical information about the locations.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have tried to stop smoking before?
No. Previous attempts can, however, help us understand what made stopping easier and what made it more difficult to continue.
Is the support based on a single session?
No. The support offered includes four sessions: one longer initial session followed by three follow-up sessions.
What do we work on during the sessions?
We look in particular at automatic habits, situations associated with cigarettes and the place they occupy in your daily life. The sessions aim to draw on your resources to support your decision to stop.
Does hypnosis guarantee that I will stop smoking?
No. Results vary from person to person and no method can guarantee an outcome. Hypnosis forms part of a personal process and supports the change you wish to make.
