Tailoring Mental Strategies to Help You Become Smoke-Free

Our approach to smoking cessation is rooted in a blend of Clinical Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, Counselling, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and Psychology, each contributing to a comprehensive treatment plan:

Clinical Hypnotherapy

We utilise hypnotherapy to access the subconscious mind, where the deep-rooted smoking habits reside. This method helps reshape these habits and instil new, healthier responses to cravings to stop smoking.

Psychotherapy

Our psychotherapeutic interventions delve into the emotional and psychological aspects of smoking addiction, addressing issues like stress and anxiety that often trigger the smoking habit.

Counselling

Through counselling, we provide a supportive space for clients to explore their smoking habit, understand its origins, and develop strategies to overcome it.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

NLP techniques are employed to change how clients perceive smoking, turning negative habits into positive behaviours and reinforcing their commitment to quit.

Psychology

Grounded in psychological principles, our approach helps in understanding the cognitive aspects of smoking addiction and employs research-backed strategies to tackle it effectively.

Combining these methods, we not only target the habit of smoking itself but also address the underlying triggers and mental patterns, ensuring a more prosperous and long-lasting cessation.

Hypnotherapy Session Fees and Duration

Our approach to helping you quit smoking through hypnotherapy is tailored to your individual needs, and our fee structure reflects this personalised service:

Fee Per Session: We charge £190 for each one-hour hypnotherapy session.

The number of sessions required for smoking cessation can vary depending on several factors, including the intensity of the smoking habit, individual psychological factors, and how deeply ingrained the pattern is. While some clients may find significant progress within a single session, others may benefit from a series of sessions to overcome their addiction and ensure lasting change fully.

Reviews and testimonials

JB

I found my sessions with Kamal be both helpful and productive in my desire to lose weight. I was listened to very carefully and was treated with professionalism and kindness. I felt that Kamal really wanted to help me and talked through my session with him. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Naima

Kamal is very welcoming and gentle. I had a great experience.

I chose to get hypnotherapy to cure my phobia of bugs ahead of a camping festival in the Bulgarian mountains.

The treatment proved effective as I was able to enjoy my time at the festival in the presence of many bugs.

Peter

Very positive experience meeting with Kamal. He was attentive and in tune with trying to help, and made it his business to fully understand the entire picture and took his time to listen and probe to address it professionally and with care.

Very friendly, warm and an excellent communicator between appointments, which made the process seamless for me. Would highly recommend Kamal and his services to anyone looking to.
