Stop Smoking with Hypnotherapy

If you are reading this you are ready to give up smoking.

Whether you have just started a family, just started a sport, had a reality check from your GP or you are sick and tired of feeling lacklustre and sluggish, stopping smoking is one of the most important health decisions you will ever make.

Repeat; this is one of the most life enhancing decisions you can make – that’s for you and for those that depend on you. The likelihood is that you will live a longer, more fruitful life and create a more positive impact on those around you. Many, many of the smokers I work with in Putney, Wandsworth, Clapham and South London report having had parents that smoke – it’s probably no secret that we either gravitate towards our parents habits or rebel against them.

Did you know ninety percent of people that smoke wish they didn’t?

By the time I see people they have often been through a variety of tools to stop smoking; patches, gum, will power, books and so on. It can be quite tricky to stop smoking.

Smoking is one of hypnotherapy’s greatest success stories. The Royal College of Nursing have recently pre-released information on a long term study that shows hypnotherapy to be one of the most potent and sustainable ways of addressing the addiction. If you are of a technical disposition try typing ‘smoking cessation research’ into google and you will plenty of evidence to support this technique.

Hypnotherapy works by addressing the unconscious part of you and ‘unhooks’ the smoking programme that runs against your conscious will. This allows you to move on and become part of the non-smoking majority.

It’s really simple!

My practice is based in Putney and serves Wandsworth, Clapham, Battersea, Chiswick and Richmond. Firstly you need to e mail or ring me, then we can book a slot for you – daytime or evening.

Secondly I will ask you to work through some preparation to prime your unconscious and get very clear on your motivations.

Finally you come along to your session here in our practice room in Putney and I will talk through your circumstances and tailor - down to last detail - a therapeutic intervention to rid you of smoking forever.

Yuri, IT Project Manager, Wandsworth, South London
Came for stop smoking therapy April 2011

The hectic nature of my work had meant my 40 a day habit had largely gone unnoticed, I was just about to turn 40 and realised if I didn’t kick it soon it would eventually cause me damage. I saw Doug in April 2011, as I write this in November I am still stopped. I had tried the medication, gum and Alan Carr, all worked for a few weeks and then I sank back into smoking when my job got busy.

Thanks Doug, I started playing rugby again this season, the first for ten years, I feel fitter, I have more energy and my partner has stopped nagging me. Thanks again, I wasn’t sure if it would work, but it has and I feel great.

Came for stop smoking May 2011. I received this July 2011.

Hi Doug, thanks for your email to see how I was doing. I’m still stopped, it’s brilliant, I know you said I probably wouldn’t think about it much anymore, and it’s true, it’s a bit like I never did it in the first place. Can I send my boyfriend to you after Christmas?

This really is the best way to stop smoking, avoid potential side effects of stop-smoking drugs and start your new life smoke free.
