Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the process of using psychological techniques along with positive affirmations and suggestions, it helps the mind overcome the difficult mental barriers that people who are quitting smoking often have. Quitting smoking is the number one reason why most people consult hypnotherapists in the UK.

How does this hypnotherapy reduce cravings?

Hypnosis deals with the psychological and emotional attachments with smoking so that you are given the mental strength to overcome the habit. Many smokers have found this a successful way of helping them to control their cravings and to cut down completely. The following days after a session may be difficult as the nicotine in your system slowly decreases, but many smokers have reported success in the weeks following hypnotherapy.

Where can I get hypnotherapy

You would usually visit a therapist who can offer one-off or a course of sessions to help you overcome your cravings. Most often, the consultant will meet you beforehand to gauge a feeling for your smoking habit and collect facts about you, such as how long you have been smoking, how much you smoke, etc. You might then be given a quit smoking CD to take home help reinforce the work done in the sessions.

What does it cost?

The cost of a session for quitting smoking will usually be a one-off cost and this will be minimal compared to the financial and health costs which would be incurred from a life of smoking cigarettes. Who is this suited for?

Anyone can approach a hypnotherapist for a consultation and it is then up to the clinic as to whether they think you are suitable. Most people would be suitable except for anyone with a mental health condition. These people may need a further consultation.
