Get your clarity, motivation and evenings back. In person in central London or online.
It started as a way to relax. Now it is the only way you know how to switch off. Evenings, weekends, stress, boredom and sleep are all tied to smoking, and every time you try to stop, the restless nights, irritability and urges pull you back.
You can break this pattern. Hypnotherapy works on the routines and triggers that keep you reaching for cannabis, and builds new ways to relax, sleep and handle stress, so stopping feels possible rather than like a constant struggle.

The hardest parts of stopping cannabis are the habits, urges, sleep problems and stress that come with it, and these are exactly the areas hypnotherapy targets. Research into hypnotherapy for cannabis specifically is still developing, but hypnosis has well-established effects on stress, sleep and habit change, and it fits well alongside other support.
If you have experienced paranoia, psychosis or severe low mood, or use other drugs alongside cannabis, please speak to your GP as well. You can also find confidential information from FRANK.
1. A free, confidential 15-minute call. We talk about your cannabis use and what you want to change.
2. Your first session. We look at when and why you smoke, and begin breaking those patterns with hypnosis.
3. A short course of sessions, with recordings and self-hypnosis for the evenings and bedtime, when you need them most.
I see clients in person at Islington Therapy House, 364 City Road, London EC1V 2PY, about a five-minute walk from Angel station and within easy reach of Old Street, King’s Cross and the City. I also work online via Zoom with clients across London, the rest of the UK and abroad. Online sessions follow exactly the same structure as in-person sessions, and many clients find it easier to relax at home.
