Put the vape down for good, without the daily battle. In person in central London or online.
It was supposed to be the easy habit to drop. Instead, the vape has crept into every part of your day: the commute, your desk, the kettle, scrolling your phone, every flicker of stress. You reach for it without thinking, and every time you try to stop, the pull brings you straight back.
There is a reason vaping feels so hard to quit, and it is not a lack of willpower. The habit lives in the automatic part of your mind, which is exactly where hypnotherapy works. We break the links that keep you reaching for it, so being vape-free starts to feel natural.
Around one in ten adults in Great Britain now vape (ASH). Modern devices deliver nicotine smoothly and frequently, and because there is no clear start or finish, many people take puffs every few minutes all day long. Over time the vape becomes a way of managing boredom, stress and restlessness, not just nicotine. I explain this in my article on why vaping is so hard to quit.
There is promising evidence for hypnotherapy with nicotine. In a randomised trial, twice as many smokers were still smoke-free after six months with hypnotherapy compared with nicotine replacement alone (Hasan et al., 2014). Research on vaping specifically is still growing, but the same principles apply: changing the habits, triggers and emotional ties that keep nicotine use going.
1. A free 15-minute call. We talk about your vaping and what has made stopping hard.
2. Your first session. We map when and why you vape, and use hypnosis to start breaking those patterns.
3. A short course of sessions. Many clients notice a clear shift within two to four sessions, with a recording to keep you on track at home.
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.
I am Antonios Koletsas, a clinical hypnotherapist and psychologist with a First Class Honours BSc in Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London, and training in Ericksonian hypnotherapy with Stephen Brooks at BHRTI. I am registered with the GHSC, GHR and CNHC, and a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society. You can read more about me and how I work.
Many people notice a clear change within two to four sessions, with self-hypnosis practice at home in between.
Some people prefer to reduce gradually and others prefer a quit date. Both can work, and we plan the approach that suits you in your free call.
The aim is to be free of both, and part of our work is making sure smoking stays firmly in the past.
Yes. Online sessions via Zoom follow the same structure as in person.
