Let's not beat about the bush: smoking is BAD FOR YOU in so many ways. It is the biggest cause of preventable illness and early death, resulting in around 76,000 deaths in England and around 8 million world-wide every year. Half of all life-long smokers will die early, most of them from a smoking-related lung cancer, heart disease or chronic obstructive pulomary disease. Smoking harms almost every organ of the body and and causes numerous cancers, over and above lung cancer, including lip, mouth, throat, bladder, kidney, stomach, liver and cervix, as well as many non-fatal medical conditions that can cause years of debilitating illness, as well as infertility. The cost of smoking to the National Health Service in England is estimated to be a staggering £1.9 billion a year. (see ASH smoking statistics 2023 for more facts and figures, including information on fatal and non-fatal diseases caused by smoking).
Nearly half of smokers in the UK want to quit.
Are you one of them? Do you want:
A longer, healthier life
More money in your pocket
More energy and confidence
An increased libido
Younger-looking skin
Not having to worry about how you smell
To treat your body with respect
If the answer is YES, if the time is right and are motivated to make the changes needed to hugely improve the quality of your life both now and into the future, then Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy can help! Unlike other solutions, it doesn't replace nicotine from cigarettes with nicotine from other sources, and research has shown it to be 5-6 times more effective than willpower alone.
Through a combination of CBT and hypnosis, I aim to offer you tools, techniques and the highest level of service and support possible to help you to:
Weaken the strength of your habit;
Increase your motivation to want to stop smoking and to enjoy all the benefits that brings: to the health and well-being of you and those around you, as well as to your wallet;
Teach you how to cope with any memories of your life as a smoker in order to help prevent you going back to bad habits.
I will work at your pace and support you at every step. You may want to reduce your level of smoking as a first step, and that is fine - I can help you!
The programme I teach has been used for 20 years. It has been constantly refined to offer the best treatment package possible, combining evidence-based techniques of CBT and hypnosis. It has benefitted many hundreds of smokers. If you want to be one of them, do contact me. I am an accredited Practitioner with the Central Register of Stop Smoking Therapists and I will be with you, supporting you, every step of the way.
