Become a non-smoker, not just someone trying not to smoke. In person in central London or online.
You already know every reason to stop. You have probably tried before, maybe more than once, and managed a few days or weeks before a stressful moment, a drink with friends or the first coffee of the morning pulled you straight back. That is not a lack of willpower. It is a habit wired into the automatic part of your mind, and that is exactly where hypnotherapy works.

1. A free 15-minute call. We talk about your smoking and what has made quitting hard before.
2. Your main session. We map exactly when and why you smoke, then use hypnosis to break those patterns at the root.
3. Reinforcement. Most people need just one to three sessions, with a follow-up to lock in the change, plus 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.

Most people need one to three sessions: a main session focused on your habit and triggers, and one or two follow-ups to reinforce the change.
Some cravings are normal in the early days. The aim is for them to be less frequent, less intense and easy to let pass, and you will have self-hypnosis techniques ready to use whenever one appears.
