Why Quit Smoking Now?
Quitting smoking is one of the best things you will ever do – and I say that as someone who’s done it myself. As a specialist stop smoking hypnotherapist in Croydon, Caterham and South London, I’ve helped countless people quit for good using evidence-based Hypno-CBT. You’ll be free of guilt, anxiety and health worries, and you’ll save a small fortune. Research tells us that on average, a single cigarette can knock 20 minutes off your life. How long will you keep ignoring the negatives? Get in touch and start living, not dying.
How My Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Programme Works
My stop smoking programme uses hypnotherapy combined with CBT – a highly effective, evidence-based approach that research indicates outperforms hypnosis alone (see more on this in the Q&A’s below). The programme runs across two sessions, a week apart, which is gentler and more effective for lasting change. First, we have a 40-minute phone consultation where I assess your smoking habits and give you 12 practical steps to begin with, including a self-hypnosis audio. Then, a week later, we do the main session of 2-3 hours. You’ll leave a non-smoker, supported by audio recordings to keep for life, a free booster session and a satisfaction guarantee.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy
Is Hypnotherapy the most effective way to stop smoking?
Not any more. Trials have shown that a multi-component approach seems to be the most successful way to stop smoking over time. Hypnosis, together with CBT, gives you a better chance of remaining a non-smoker long term. Spiegel’s research indicates that hypnotherapy is more effective when other factors are taken into consideration, such as therapist experience, non-hypnotic techniques (CBT) and client motivation.
I need to stop smoking fast. How do I know this method will work?
Any stop smoking hypnotherapy treatment relies on your own motivation. You have to really want to stop smoking. But my programme gives you the best chance of stopping for good. I will give you everything I have – and it comes with a satisfaction guarantee plus audio support and a free booster session if required. Remember, in 3-4 weeks of stopping smoking you can usually recover the cost of the treatment.
You say this is the best way to stop smoking. Where are the figures and support for this?
In clinical practice, Zarren and Elmer (2002) reported that 70% of clients who undertook cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy remained non-smokers after one year.
The evidence for Hypno-CBT in smoking cessation is compelling. A landmark meta-analysis by Kirsch , Montgomery and Sapirstein (1995), published in The Journal of Clinical Psychology, found that combining hypnosis with CBT significatly enhanced treatment outcomes, with patients receiving the combined approach doing better that at least 70% of those receiving CBT alone. This was confirmed by an updated meta-analysis by Ramondo et al (2021), which found the benefits of adding hypnosis to CBT were statistically signficant and enduring. A 2014 randomised trial also found hypnotherapy to be more effective than nicotine replacement therapy, while the largest RCT (Batra et al..2024) confirmed hypnotherapy’s effectivement is comparable to CBT – and suggested combining the two may enhance results further.
What is your Stop Smoking success rate?
I have an 84% success rate with my clients after checking in with them 3 months following treatment. After that period I welcome those who wish to contact me at any point.
Do you offer a Stop Smoking Guarantee?
I offer a Satisfaction Guarantee. Which means that if you are not satisfied with the effort I have made, or the techniques, then I will return your fee. This has never happened. Do not trust anyone who offers a Stop Smoking guarantee, as there are so many individual factors that can influence outcomes.
Why is your Stop Smoking programme not just one session?
I find that it is easier and more successful for people to slowly adjust to stopping smoking in the week between the two sessions. I assess individual habits and motivations in that first session so I can personally adapt the main session a week later. I give 12 steps or tips for clients in that first session – like changing brand of cigarettes, making a note of times when smoking, need and pleasure ratings. Much of this is the crucial CBT or mindfulness element. I also give clients a self-hypnosis for Stopping Smoking audio to listen to each night of the week at this point. To my surprise I have had a few clients who have stopped smoking on this one 40 minute call session alone – that is before the main session.
How many sessions does it take to stop smoking with hypnotherapy?
My programme comprises just two sessions, one week apart, The first is a 40 minute consultation, and the second is the main hypnotherapy session of 2-3 hours. Many stop smoking hypnotherapists offer only a single session, but I’ve found that the two session approach gives significantly better long-term results. It allows time for the CBT elements to take hold before we do the deeper hypnotherapy work.
Can I do stop smoking hypnotherapy online?
The initial assessment session always takes place by phone or Zoom (whichever you prefer). For the main session, I strongly recommend coming to my clinic in Caterham if you can – it’s just one trip, after all. Clients travel from across Croydon, South London, Surrey and Kent. However, if distance is genuinely an issue, the main session can be conducted online and remains very effective. And, of course, you have the audios to support you in any case.
