HYPNOSIS FOR QUITTING CIGARETTES
Apart from one small difference, I treat smoking cessation in the same way I treat any client who has a habit or a behavioural pattern they want to change but are currently finding it hard to do.
Whatever your reasons for choosing stop smoking hypnosis in London, we will focus on all the benefits and all the positives of being a non-smoker. This, I have found, is a far stronger motivator and catalyst for change than focusing on the dangers and fears surrounding smoking.
So we will explore and co-create a version of yourself that you like, that you’re happy with, that feels authentic and positive, a version that also happens to be a non-smoker.

HOW STOP SMOKING HYPNOSIS WORKS
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that the brain relishes given half a chance. It’s a state of mind that temporarily suspends the part of the brain that holds on to patterns of behaviour it feels are working, including smoking.
So during the hypnosis part of the session, you’ll be able to experience that positive, authentic version of yourself that we explored earlier, without that resistant part of your brain holding you back. And in this way, positive change has begun and a new, non-smoking behavioural pattern has started to form.

FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT STOPPING SMOKING WITH HYPNOTHERAPY
Finding the best hypnotist near me for stopping smoking or any therapy is subjective. Many of my new clients come from referrals. Also, Google search can be helpful, such as: hypnosis for stopping smoking reviews.
When searching for the best hypnotist near me, you’ll find a lot of different types of therapists. Some, like me, are certified clinical hypnotherapists. My training is based on the work of David Newton. He’s considered one of the best hypnotherapists in the UK.
Preparation is key to stopping smoking. Smoking is an addiction and is more complex than quitting. Nicotine replacement therapy medications are a popular way to help control any urges. But firstly, you need be prepared in yourself as well as having a support system in place.
Many of my clients find that using a hypnotherapist for quitting smoking adds another level of support and encouragement. Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a talking therapy. The aim is to understand why habits and behaviours exist and then co-create goals for what a smoke-free future will look and feel like. You’ll also develop new coping mechanisms for handling cravings, as well as better understanding your triggers.
Don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen the first time. Having the right mindset is as important as having the right tools to quit. You need to change your relationship with smoking. Set yourself goals and remind yourself why you want to quit. Take time to learn about the mental and physical health benefits.
Quitting smoking for good can seem like a daunting task and you may think the damage is already done. But in 20 minutes your body will be starting to repair.
After the first 20 minutes, your heart rate and blood pressure will begin to return to normal. Carbon monoxide levels decrease, allowing your heart to work with more ease. In as little as 24 hours your chances of a heart attack are already lowered.
In the following months, your lung health and capacity are improving. You will be able to breathe deeper and clearer, have more energy, and even get fewer colds and illnesses.
When you reach the one-year milestone you have already lowered your risk of a heart attack by half.
Alongside the physical health improvements, there are an array of mental health benefits. Quitting smoking has proved to help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. As well as promote a more positive mood and an improved quality of life.
There are several different smoking aids are available to help you quit smoking. Each one having different advantages and disadvantages depending on your smoking habits. The most common smoking aids are:
- Skin patches
- Chewing gum
- Inhalators
- Lozenges
- Nasal and mouth sprays
These are all types of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) medication. These provide you with a small dose of nicotine to help stop cravings and withdrawal effects – without the added harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
The issue with NRT is that while you may break the physical habit of smoking, you’re still dependent on a nicotine fix. The ultimate goal of course is to be nicotine free, which is why hypnotherapy is a great alternative.
My stop smoking hypnotherapy in London works because we co-create what a smoke-free life would look like for you; focusing on the positives. This helps to alleviate the initial cravings which peak at around two to three days after quitting. While those cravings may feel intense, it’s possible to tap back into that hypnotic state you experienced in your sessions, reducing the intensity of the cravings.
When you consider the financial and health benefits of quitting smoking, it’s hard to not to justify hypnotherapy as an affordable option. Of course, hypnotherapy is not for everyone. To get the most out of hypnosis, you need to be in the right mindset. But let’s say you’ve already done your research and want to make the next step.
I’m a Solution-Focused Hypnotherapist. I work with my clients to define their goals and then I support them through therapeutic sessions to build in change. That means you are in control of how many sessions feel right. We’ll continue until you feel the positive change has become more established.
