Would you love to be free from smoking?

Hypnotherapy with Lara provides a full toolkit to help you achieve this goal, strengthening your resolve and motivation and navigating the psychological barriers that have prevented you from making this life-changing decision until now.

My approach is layered and collaborative, together we’ll tackle your smoking habit on three levels:

Behavioural – how do you ‘do’ your smoking habit? Describing this in detail allows us to effectively disrupt those behavioural patterns to reshape your whole approach to the performance of smoking

Cognitive – what are your Big Ideas about yourself and your identity as a smoker or non-smoker? We identify and dismantle any negative self-talk that’s holding you back from that identity shift you long to make

Analytical – we’ll look at the circumstances in which you formed your smoking habit, who it affects beyond yourself and the emotions you attach to these, and use this insight to confirm and inform your new, decisive change of direction!

 My Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation package is structured as a pair of one-hour sessions one week apart; the first prepares you for the change you’re about to make, and the second is where the change happens! In between, and in the week following the second session, I communicate with you by email to support the work we’ve done. The techniques I use are evidence based and I will include references to published research in my communications with you.

After many failed attempts to stop smoking , and coming to the realisation that I was unable to quit through more traditional means I considered hypnotherapy.  However I was initially nervous about hypnosis as I had very little understanding on how it worked. Lara has a authentic and calm nature, and put me at ease and answered any questions I had about the process. Lara took time to get to know me, and this was key in making sure the hypnosis was tailored to my habits and psychology. I am so pleased to say the process worked for me and I no longer have any urges to smoke. I am free!

Having smoked for 20 years and had numerous failed attempts at stopping, I'd almost given up on giving up. I was recommended to try hypnotherapy and found Lara. After two sessions I was amazed to find how easy it was to just stop and most importantly, I'm still stopped months later. Lara was lovely and I was really impressed with how detailed and personalised the sessions were which I think really helped make the difference for me. Thank you!

 Each session costs £60. If you’d like to know more, book a free discovery call.
