Stop smoking Holborn and Bloomsbury

Change your mind.

“I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you. I went out with my chain-smoking friend the night after I met with you, and I was amazed. That feeling of being possessed by the desire to smoke was gone. I know you said it wasn’t magic – but it really felt like magic! That horrible little smoker’s voice was silent, and we had a great meal and drank too much wine but I skipped home delighted because that internal desire was completely gone. I went out again on Friday with a different friend who I usually smoke with, and again the same thing. I didn’t want to smoke at all. Thank you very much indeed!”

Your session.

Your first consultation is an hour and a half and this includes an informal discussion about becoming a non-smoker, before an initial experience of deep hypnosis, focusing on the benefits of being a non-smoker. Many people stop completely after this first session but if you choose to have further sessions, smoking can be reduced gradually over up to four hypnotic sessions.

Willpower

If you are reading this page you may find that you have already made the conscious decision to become a non-smoker. This requires willpower, focussing your conscious thoughts. It needs to be a decision that you are committed to. Decide now, if you want to be a non-smoker for good. You may have previously decided to stop smoking, but this time it is for good.

Hypnosis

Once you have made the conscious decision to become a non-smoker we can use hypnosis to communicate with the subconscious mind. I use a technique that focuses on promoting calmness and confidence in your new non-smoking self, making this change an attractive option for your subconscious mind.

You already are a non-smoker!

Consider the fact that you actually are a non-smoker already, because most of the time you are not smoking. In between cigarettes you exist and breathe just like any other non-smoker. We can focus on making the intervals between cigarettes longer, so that you are a non-smoker for most of the time. A large part of this addiction is in the mind. You can change your conscious and subconscious attitudes and beliefs. Think like a non-smoker. Remember, smoking does not relax your body.

How many sessions will it take?

Becoming a non-smoker can take between one and four hypnotic sessions but most people stop smoking after the first session!

Some people prefer to cut down gradually. This is because you didn’t start by smoking twenty a day. You probably just started with one or two cigarettes, so if you choose, we can gently reduce the amount that you smoke - as gently as you began. You can work at your own pace. I use an approach with up to four phases;

Session 1 – Promotes mental calmness, physical relaxation and confidence, allowing you to stick to your decision.

Session 2 - Puts you back in control, with targeted suggestions for reducing the number of cigarettes further.

Session 3 - Increases the power of the previous programs, focusing on your successes.

Session 4 - Locking in all of the suggestions, remaining a non-smoker. Enjoying your achievement!

Benefits and Rewards

To remind your subconscious mind that this is an attractive lifestyle change, consciously concentrate on the rewards of becoming a non-smoker. You will have your own reasons, but may like to consider some of the suggestions below.

Enjoy clean, fresh clothes, clean body and hair, clean fingernails, teeth, mouth, breath, air, and a clean home.
Enjoy more money, better health, more time for yourself, the appreciation and congratulations of your family and friends, and being a good influence on the children in your life.
Enjoy the taste of food, breath, drinks and air.
Be free from an addiction!

The Willpower Salesman

I met this odd bloke down the pub once

And soon we cooked up conversation

The usual ingredients - football, women

Beer prices, state of the nation

I'd only popped in for a cheeky

I had somewhere else I should go

But when he offered to buy me a beer

I found that I couldn't say no

I wish I had willpower I told him

So I wouldn't be so eager to stay

He winked at me conspiratorially

And said "it's your lucky day"

"I do a right nice line in willpower

The finest there is in the land

It usually retails at 7 plus VAT

But I'll sell it you for 5 grand"

I must admit I was tempted

But politely refused and said sorry

Between you and me I thought that it might

Have come off the back of a lorry

"I know what you're thinking," he told me

"But it's 100 per cent pucker I swear

Conforms to all European standards

With guaranteed 2 year repair

"It's all listed here in my brochure

Upgrade your rational calm

Trade in your second-hand weakness

And free up the twist on your arm

"I also deal determination

It's really not hard to arrange

At a push I could get some designer resolve

But the willpower's top of the range"

And although I didn't have the money

And for nearly an hour I fought it

I found I couldn't say no to the bloke

And by the time he had gone I had bought it

So now I am armed with my willpower

My actions aren't nearly so rash

Is it because of my willpower

Or cos it cost all of my cash?
