You’ve decided to stop, but the familiar urge still arrives. I’ll work with you on the triggers and routines around smoking, and a practical plan for those moments. Sessions are in Rugby or online.
We look at what the habit gives you: a break, something to do with your hands or relief after a difficult call. Then we choose an alternative that meets that need and plan how to use it.
In hypnosis, we rehearse the trigger and your chosen response. Suggestions focus on your reasons for changing. We also plan for social situations, withdrawal support and setbacks.
You practise between sessions and bring back what happened. Vaping support focuses on routines and responses to urges; I don’t promise the same results or a particular quit rate. You can also ask about another habit in the free call.
A note from Adel
I first stopped smoking with help from a hypnotherapist. After I later chose to smoke again, I used self-hypnosis to stop again. After stopping, I found I could be around other people smoking without wanting to smoke myself.
A pharmacist, GP or NHS stop-smoking service can advise on nicotine dependence, withdrawal and available support alongside this work. Alcohol or drug dependence, eating disorders and self-harm need appropriate specialist care. I won’t advise you to change prescribed medication.
Questions people ask
Does hypnotherapy work for stopping smoking?
It can support your effort, but research does not establish that it works better than other support. Your commitment matters. I don’t quote a quit rate or promise one-session success. The research guide explains the evidence.
Can you help me stop vaping?
We can work on the routines, triggers and response to an urge after you’ve decided to stop. A pharmacist, GP or stop-smoking service can advise on nicotine dependence and suitable support.
What if I have a lapse?
We look at what happened and what the plan needs. A difficult moment gives us information about the trigger, alternative or support around you. It is something to discuss openly, rather than hide.
