Quitting Smoking with hypnotherapy is a
fast, very effective, and powerful way for the
eradication of those urges and habits that
smoking comes with. At Therapy for Thinking we
use clinical hypnosis (hypnotherapy) combined
with CBT as it offers the most powerful support
mechanism to assist those deciding to quit
smoking.
Give your willpower a turbo boost, dissolve those
cravings in seconds and become a non-smoker!
That little voice in your head...
The physical addiction to cigarettes is less than 10% of the smoking issue, and the rest is in the mind, whether that be from habits formed, powerful advertising that persuades us it is hard to quit, or simple peer pressure. Whilst its true that there is nothing that is guaranteed to ‘make’ someone quit smoking, having this therapy can make that vital difference in helping you to believe that you can succeed and gaining the confidence to do so.
The key to successful change is nearly always at a sub-conscious level - that little voice in your head that can either be very supportive or very negative! Controlling this inner voice and working with it rather than against it, is part of the solution. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy teaches us that our thoughts affect our feelings and behaviours, and that by changing our thoughts we can change the way we feel, such as feeling good about being a non-smoker and about our behaviours, such as quitting.

These are the research-based success rates from the 1992 New Scientist Magazine Study (A meta-analysis, statistically combining the results of more than 600 studies (over 72,000 individual cases) showed that hypnotherapy increased a smoker’s success chances from 6% to 60%.) for different smoking cessation methods.
How we can help…
Hypnotherapy has been approved for use by the UK Government and, selectively, by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). CBT is also an independently researched and proven therapy, similarly approved by NICE.
Once you have made the decision to stop smoking, it’s important to act upon that motivation and get access to the tools that will help you succeed. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy will explore your patterns of behaviours, the underlying reasons why you continue to smoke, and the things that are stopping you from succeeding. Utilising this ‘logical information’, we can then design a tailored hypnotherapy programme to embed this within your unconscious mind to break habits, change perceptions, and give you any craving buster techniques (if you need them), to turn you into a non-smoker. We will increase your motivation, and ensure your long term success – you will be so proud to finally be a non-smoker
