There are many ways to try and stop smoking. Using your own willpower is the cheapest but by the time you are reading this you will have probably tried that already and found it too difficult.

There are many products you can buy – chewing gum; patches; dummy cigarettes, prescription drugs but all of these simply remind you of cigarettes when what you really want is to forget all about them. Also, I have had clients who came to me for treatment because they had become addicted to the nicotine based products that were supposed to help them!

The success rates of these nicotine substitutes is remarkably poor and they are expensive.

Hypnosis is a treatment for stopping smoking with a higher success rate.

Results of clinical tests have rated success with hypnosis at between 60% and 95% while other methods including patches, nicotine chewing gum and imitation cigarettes achieved a success rate of between 6% and 29%. (Statistics from the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis and New Scientist)

I quote my success rate at over 70% (measured by random survey of clients over a three month period). However, don’t be fooled by statistics, I must emphasise that while a success rate of 70% means that 7 in every ten clients are successful it also means that 3 will fail. And so, part of my work is to inform clients if I believe that the time is not yet right for them. I only offer treatment when I think that there is a good chance of success.

Human nature means that some of you reading this will say ‘I’m going to be part of the 70% that succeed’ while some others will say ‘I bet I’ll be one of the failures’!

I’m accustomed to this and will take it into account when offering treatment to ensure the highest possible success rate for you.
