Hypnotherapy to help you with...... stopping smoking
Are you in the Highlands or the Inverness area and are looking for a hypnotherapist to help you stop smoking?I'm an experienced hypnotherapist who specialises in smoking cessation, and I'd like to help you. Read on to find out more or contact me now to make an appointment or to ask any questions. Hypnosis may be your best bet if you want to quit smoking. Smoking cessation research claims that hypnotherapy is the most effective way of stopping smoking. This is according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. (Having a heart-attack is actually a more successful method of stopping smoking ….. but this isn’t the route I’d recommend!) |

Finding the correct smoking cessation method is so important if you want it to work! I'm the first to admit that quitting smoking can be very difficult - but only if you tackle it the wrong way or for the wrong reasons.With the correct approach and a fair amount of motivation it can be an enjoyable, pain-free and interesting experience. |
Can you imagine how great you would feel if you never had to smoke again?
Did you know that......... |
 |
Mark Knopfler, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Samuel L Jackson and Winona Ryder all stopped smoking with hypnosis? |
|
With the help of a hypnotherapist (and your firm commitment) you too can make smoking and cigarettes a thing of the past. |
|
Hypnosis is so powerful, because it deals with your mind..... And it's your mind that's responsible for your thoughts, your habits, your attitudes and your beliefs. Change your mind and you can do just about anything. That includes stopping smoking.
Smoking cessation success rate much higher with hypnosis
New Scientist (vol 136 issue 1845 page 6). |
Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit.
In 1992 the New Scientist magazine reported on an intensive study involving smokers. This showed the 12-month success rate to be much higher with hypnosis than any other individual method. David Pollock, director of ASH, said he was surprised by the success of hypnosis for smoking cessation.
This is good news for you, as my unique approach combines the most effective elements of hypnotherapy with various other psychotherapy techniques all highly customised to meet your unique goals and needs. This is done over two extended sessions, giving you as much time as you need in order to optimise your chances of success.
Over the last 10 years I’ve tried and tested many different approaches. I've found that, for me, 
my thorough and flexible two session approach to smoking cessation is so much more effective than just a single standard hypnotherapy session! Studies back this up by showing that a good multiple-session hypnosis smoking cessation program is the best option. With the help of hypnosis, quitting smoking for good doesn't have to be as difficult as you might imagine!
Why choose hypnosis with me to help you quit smoking?
Smoking cessation programs using multiple-session hypnotherapy have been shown to be by far the most successful approach for quitting smoking.
Success rates of stop smoking programs using multiple-session hypnosis are almost 3 times higher than those using a single hypnosis session. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 24 (4), 381-390. |
And it’s also important for you to receive the right type of hypnosis smoking cessation treatment for you ……which is why my hypnotherapy sessions are designed uniquely for you and your needs. An intensive, highly customised stop smoking program means a lot more effort for me, but it makes it so much easier for you.
|
By asking my clients which elements of my stop smoking sessions have best worked for them, I’ve come up with a system which I hope can benefit you too. I've discovered that a comprehensive approach with two extended in-depth hypnotherapy sessions is what my clients believe to be important for their continued, lasting success and peace of mind.
I incorporate powerful psychotherapy and hypnotherapy methods for fast and, more importantly, permanent results. Each of my stop smoking sessions is individualised to your unique needs. A hypnotherapy CD recording is also included with the first session.
That's included as part of this package too. |
What makes this program so effective?
Most smokers believe quitting will be very challenging. And I can’t deny that stopping smoking can be an extremely difficult thing to do – but only if you go about it in the wrong way and for all the wrong reasons. By joining this stop smoking program we’ll be going about it the correct way…..So that's us half-way there!
.......But do you have the right reasons to quit? And are you motivated enough? Since you’ve bothered to read this far, I’ll assume that you are.
You’re probably familiar with hypnotherapists who claim success rates of over 95% for a single one hour session. I don't doubt that these claims are a true measure of short-term success.
But for me, real success must be long-lasting.
Research shows that the majority of people do quit smoking after a single one hour standardised hypnosis session, but soon many relapse.
My individualised system is based on what researchers claim to be the most successful hypnotherapy smoking cessation programs around. These are the hypnosis treatments with a success rate of well in excess of 80%, measured not after the first few days, weeks or months but after 1 year.
At the top of the list of most successful stop smoking programs are those offering comprehensive treatments that: |
|
|
are carried out in more than a single 1-2 hour session are customised to the unique needs of each individual smoker address limiting beliefs and negative self-talk; boost confidence and motivation so that you have the resolve to reach your goals when the going gets tough include not only hypnosis but discuss other strategies and use other effective psychotherapy techniques ensure that you take responsibility for your success by encouraging you to work as an active partner alongside your therapist |
.........PLUS a guarantee, valuable personal support during the crucial first 6 weeks following the completion of your smoking cessation treatments, and a FREE top-up session in the unlikely event that you start smoking again within 12 months |
|
My sessions are deeply relaxing, uplifting and insightful. Cllients often report that not only does hypnosis make quitting much easier, but that they seem more able to cope better with everyday stresses and challenges. BUT for this smoking cessation program to give the long-term results you’re looking for: |
|
|
You must want it enough. Your motivation must genuinely come from you, for your own benefit and not simply because someone else has told you to stop smoking. |
|
How is this smoking cesssation program structured?
To enable you to quit successfully, we must change what smoking means to you and the connections it has in your life.
Your first stop smoking session
|
|
By the end of this first hypnotherapy treatment you'll most likely be a non-smoker! And best of all, you can benefit from this Effective Smoking Cessation Program completely without risk to your health. In fact a Government Investigation conducted in 1996 verified that hypnotherapy is 100% safe. This is something that can't be said about some of the alternative ways to quit smoking including the stop smoking medications Your second stop smoking session

My effective smoking cessation program offers so much more than most other stop smoking programs but does it cost more?
I aim to offer you the best service possible but that doesn’t mean that I can’t give you excellent value for your money.
|
You can expect to receive: approximately 4 hours of my time, split between 2 sessions, for a very thorough, highly personalised stop smoking program (this doesn't include any extra support time or your free top-up session) a hypnotherapy relaxation CD a unique back up service to help you over the first few weeks a no-risk guarantee with your first session a FREE top-up session in the unlikely event that you should start smoking again within 12 months of your first visit. This is extremely rare...... but it's there if you need it. |
My fee for all of this is calculated on the basis of what the average smoker spends on cigarettes in less than 4 weeks. That’s £125 (for the average smoker this leaves a saving of around £2,000 in the first year alone!).
Before you book your appointment with me please look around and see what kind of service others are offering. Work out exactly what you want and who provides the best options for you. The bottom line is that whatever service you choose and whatever price you pay it must be worth it. It must offer you the best opportunity of getting the results you want.
Phone up to talk to me ask me any question large or small. I’ll be very happy to answer.
And remember.....….
