In addition there are huge financial savings to be made by kicking the habit. At today’s prices the money saved would go a long way towards a great holiday or financing a new car, to put alongside longer life expectancy, increased health and vitality, clear skin, white teeth and fresh breath.

At Altramas Hypnotherapy the therapy is tailored to the individual needs of each client. Broadly speaking there are two approaches depending on the level of addiction, reasons for smoking and the length of time someone has been smoking. For the majority of clients, smoking is a bad habit and only one session is required with a follow up session at a later date. However for a small percentage of people smoking is more than a habit and they smoke in response to significant stress or because of a deeper emotional reason. In this scenario the therapy is designed to reduce the stress and address any deep seated emotional need to smoke. This requires more time but you have the added benefit of being taught self-hypnosis so that you can confidently reinforce your new patterns of behavior as a non-smoker. Each session includes appropriate hypnotic suggestions so that you can quit easily without gaining weight, a source of concern for some smokers.

If you are fed up being controlled by this destructive habit and have perhaps tried to stop smoking without success before, now is the time to discover that the solution lies in the power of your own subconscious mind.
