- A NATURAL NON-SMOKER -

According to the biggest ever survey of its kind where 72,000 ex-smokers were interviewed by the Institute of Actuaries (New Scientist magazine 1992), Hypnotherapy is the best method to help with giving up smoking.

If your smoking is causing you some concern, and you wish to dispense with it, then I would like to help you.  According to Statistics, by the use of Hypnotherapy, nine out of every 10 people who seek help in this way do in fact overcome the habit.  They also, of course, benefit by improving their health and financial position.  Eighty percent of these people require only one treatment session to help them succeed.  Others require a further session. 

The main effect of the treatment is to minimise, and in many cases completely remove the craving for a cigarette.  This, as anyone who has tried to give up will appreciate, is the main problem associated with giving up.  Another effect is to minimise, and again in many cases completely remove, the need to sutstitute something in place of nicotine.  Finally  the treatment allows one to relax completely, which in turn means that it becomes much easier to maintain an even temper in the first few days after giving up.

The Smoking Cessation session includes a combination of  Hypnosis (or Neuro Re-programming) plus one or more techniques taken from other Therapies for Change, such as Neuro Linquistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or, if appropriate, Theta DNA Healing.  These different approaches are listed in "The Therapies" page of this website.

Also included in the cost of the treatment is a CD with two hypnotic neuro re-programming tracks which work to reinforce the one-to-one session at the subconscious level, as well as helping you to remain calm and relaxed in the days following your quitting day.

When you book your appointment with me, then the day of that appointment will represent the time and the day upon which you become a non-smoker.  I will give you instructions on how best to prepare yourself for this occasion at the time of booking your appointment.

Your appointment should free you from the craving that has caused you to fail in the past, and will help to make you determined never to smoke again.  In short, you will not want to smoke.

Remember that smoking costs you:  your health, as well as a great deal of money.

HOLISTIC HYPNO

What is the difference between Hypnotherapy and Holistic (or Curative) Hypnotherapy?

To answer this question it is necessary to briefly describe the work of hypnotherapists.  In the original form hypnotherapy was, and often still is, a suggestion based therapy, where some concept, idea or suggestion is put to the client.  This can be particularly useful to help a client become a non-smoker.

At a second level, hypnotherapy is used to release some mind condition through analysis, and is more concerned with discovering why a client is as he is and does not want to be.  Panic attacks, phobias, self confidence, anxiety and relationship matters are typical problems calling for such an approach.

At the third level the holistic (or curative) hypnotherapist uses her skills and knowledge in seeking to gain the mind's assistance to heal the body.  Relieving pain is a classic example of this therapy.

The Holistic Hypnotherapist is a therapist trained and competent in all three levels and as such is still relatively rare.
