Hypnotherapy for giving up smoking or vaping

Do you want to give up smoking or vaping? You are not alone. It is estimated that in in the first five months of the Covid pandemic over a million people gave up smoking in the UK, with a further 440,000 people attempting to quit. * However there are still an estimated seven million smokers in the country and approximately 3.6 million people who vape (some of whom vape as a way of getting off cigarettes.)

Many people have tried to give up smoking unsuccessfully in the past and feel they have failed when they return to their habits. If this sounds like you don’t lose heart. 62.5% of UK adults who have smoked at one time have now given up.** You can join their numbers.

What happens in hypnotherapy sessions for giving up smoking or vaping

When you get in touch for stopping smoking sessions I first have a telephone call with you to explain how the sessions work and to answer any of your questions. I then work with you over two sessions (either online over Zoom or face to face). The first appointment allows me to find out more about you, your medical history and your personal relationship with smoking. We have a chat about when you started smoking, the benefits you may have experienced and your reasons for wanting to give up. We end with a relaxing hypnosis session.

During the second appointment we discuss how your life will look without smoking and the positive changes you will experience when you give up. There is then a final hypnosis session. My approach is individual as it is important to recognise the strengths you have used in the past and how you will use these to your advantage in your new smoke-free life.

The cost of these two sessions is a total of £140 which is payable before the first session.
