Stop Smoking Today ®

Imagine walking into the therapy room as a smoker and emerging just 90 minutes later as a non-smoker. With the unique Stop Smoking Today® programme, a 90-minute hypnotherapy session is all it takes for you to break free from a habit that can ruin your health (and the health of your finances!) and radically shorten your lifespan.

My Stop Smoking Today® programme tackles smoking on both a conscious and unconscious level. After a very detailed analysis about why you smoke and when, we will work out alternative coping strategies you can use at all the different times when you formerly used to smoke. Next you will have a 45-minute hypnotherapy session that will reinforce the idea that you are no longer a smoker. And finally you'll be given advice on how to give yourself the best chance of remaining a non-smoker along with a handout explaining how, from the minute you stop smoking, your body begins the almost miraculous process of healing the damage you've done to it.

Hypnotherapy has a remarkable success rate in this area, and indeed my success rate is close to 100%. In order to keep my success rate as high as it is, I will only accept smokers who really want to quit smoking themselves, and not because concerned relatives or friends have suggested they do so. If you feel you're ready to give up, please contact me so that we can discuss this over the phone before you commit to therapy.

I am so confident that you will quit first time, that, in the unlikely event that you start smoking again within six months of your first Stop Smoking Today® appointment, the follow-up session/s are FREE!

A single Stop Smoking Today® session costs £150 (the average amount a 20-a-day smoker spends on cigarettes in just one month); for groups of two or more, it's £130 per person.

THE EVIDENCE?
In an article published in New Scientist magazine, it was reported that 'hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest-ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit.'

In a study published in the journal Addictive Behaviors, those who were given a single session of hypnotherapy smoked significantly fewer cigarettes and were significantly more abstinent than a placebo control group and a no-treatment control group, both immediately after the test and at the four-week, 12-week, 24-week and 48-week follow-up sessions the researchers conducted.

In a study conducted at the Scott And White Memorial Hospital in Texas (and reported in The Independent in January 2007), smokers were given eight sessions of hypnotherapy over two months and told to quit smoking one week after beginning the course of treatment. Carbon-monoxide concentration tests were carried out on the patients to see whether they had smoked after treatment, and results showed that by the end of treatment 40% had given up. At a follow-up 12 weeks later, 60% had quit.

TESTIMONIAL
'I'm amazed at the ease with which Lisa's Stop Smoking Today® session has completely removed my urge to smoke. Although I was not a heavy smoker, I tried and tried to quit but always lapsed in the pub or when things got a bit stressful at work. I still get the odd urge but it soon passes as I immediately tell myself all the reasons I'm thrilled that I no longer smoke - health benefits, no longer stinking of smoke, saving money, no longer needing to rely on a drug in that way, and having a positive influence on other family members and friends who're struggling to kick the habit.'
