Stop Smoking/Vaping

Stop smoking hypnotherapy Cheltenham and online UK

Most people who come to Phoenix Hypnotherapy to stop smoking leave their first session as a non-smoker. Not cutting down. Not trying. Done.

That is not a marketing claim, it is what happens when hypnotherapy works at the level where the habit is actually held. The unconscious mind is where smoking lives, and that is exactly where clinical hypnotherapy works.

If you are ready to stop, this programme is designed to make that happen quickly, comfortably, and permanently.

The stop smoking programme at Phoenix Hypnotherapy

The programme runs over three sessions at £345 in total, and here is what each session does:

Session one is where you become a non-smoker. Using clinical hypnotherapy, Lesley works with your unconscious mind to shift your relationship with smoking at its root. Most clients leave this session having already stopped.

Sessions two and three consolidate that change. They focus on reinforcing your identity as a non-smoker, working through social situations, managing any triggers, and making sure the change is permanent rather than temporary. You also receive MP3 audio recordings to support you between sessions and beyond.

Three sessions. One programme. A permanent result.

Does hypnotherapy actually work for stopping smoking?

The evidence is encouraging. A 2024 randomised controlled trial published in Frontiers in Psychology found that hypnotherapy produced comparable abstinence rates to cognitive behavioural therapy for smoking cessation.

The National Council for Hypnotherapy a UK professional body, also recognises hypnotherapy as an effective approach for nicotine addiction, noting that studies suggest participants engaging in hypnotherapy experience higher success rates than those using other methods alone.

As with any therapeutic approach, results vary between individuals. What Lesley can tell you is that her success rate with stop smoking clients is consistently high, and that most clients stop after their very first session.

Hypnotherapy to stop vaping

The same programme is available for vaping cessation. The three session format and pricing are identical at £345. It is worth knowing that vaping can be more complex to address than smoking due to the different patterns of use, but the approach is the same and results are equally achievable.

Common questions about stop smoking using hypnotherapy

Will I really stop after one session?

Most clients do. Session one is designed to have you return to being a non-smoker, and for the majority of people that is exactly what happens. 

Sessions two and three are there to make sure the change holds in every situation, including the ones that used to trigger a cigarette.

How is using hypnotherapy different from nicotine patches or other methods?

Nicotine replacement therapy addresses the physical craving but does not change your relationship with smoking at an unconscious level. Hypnotherapy works differently, it targets the habit, the identity, and the triggers directly, which is why results tend to be more lasting.

What if I have tried to stop before and failed?

Previous attempts are not a predictor of what hypnotherapy can achieve. Most clients who come to Lesley have tried other methods first. The fact that willpower alone did not work simply means the unconscious pattern was not addressed. That is what this programme does.

Do I need to want to stop, or can someone book it for me?

You need to genuinely want to stop for hypnotherapy to work. If someone else is pushing you into it and you are not ready, the results will be limited. If you are ready and committed, the programme is extremely effective.

Is one session ever enough on its own?

For some clients, yes, session one alone creates a permanent change. The three session programme exists because Lesley wants to make absolutely sure the change holds in all situations, not just the easy ones. The investment covers all three sessions so there is no reason not to use them all.

Are sessions available online?

Yes. All sessions are available via Zoom for clients across the UK.
