Hypnotherapy For Cocaine Addiction London
Are You Struggling with Cocaine Addiction?
Cocaine is a highly potent, addictive drug. You may have started using it recreationally, in social situations or to relieve stress after a long day. But now, struggle to go through the day without thinking about it.
Soon enough, occasional cocaine use can turn into a habit and a dependency that you’re unable to ignore. You may find yourself craving cocaine, despite the damage it causes and the risks it presents.
Drug addition, like cocaine, is caused by your brain being overpowered by the potency of a drug. When you’re addicted to a substance, your brain stops working as normal and can instead work against you, making you do things that you usually wouldn’t do.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a cocaine addiction, know that recovery is possible. There are many different treatment methods, all of which start with being honest with yourself and others.
Hypnotherapy is an alternative cocaine addiction treatment that acts as a support system in helping you manage your symptoms and identify what really drives you to take this drug.

Common Challenges Dr Kamal Addresses in Hypnotherapy for Cocaine Addiction
In your therapy sessions with me, we’ll address the following common challenges that you’ll likely experience as you quit cocaine:
Intense Cravings
Like with any form of addiction, the cravings to take cocaine can be intense, making you feel powerless and helpless. But it doesn’t have to be that way. My hypnotherapy for cocaine addiction helps increase your resistance and reduce the urge to take cocaine.
Psychological Dependence
Drugs like cocaine are often used as a coping mechanism to relieve stress, anxiety, loneliness, trauma, or grief, and this association is difficult to break with conventional treatments, making you more likely to relapse. But it is possible to successfully break this psychological dependence with hypnosis. This type of therapy reprogrammes your associations and dependencies, replacing them with healthier habits and stress-relief mechanisms.
Breaking Routines and Rituals
Regular use of cocaine can quickly develop into a compulsive habit. Hypnotherapy as a cocaine addiction treatment can be the key to helping you break and rebuild the unhealthy routines that depend on cocaine and replace them with better ones. I can help you increase your self-belief that you can overcome this difficult experience.
Coping with Withdrawal Symptoms
Withdrawing from cocaine use can be unpredictable, and you’re likely to experience challenging, at times violent, symptoms. In my hypnosis for cocaine addiction sessions, you can learn how to better cope with these mental and physical withdrawal symptoms.
Emotional Factors
Your cocaine dependency may be due to various reasons, and often these reasons are buried deep inside your subconscious. Hypnotherapy for cocaine addiction can help you address the various emotional and psychological factors that lead you to depend on cocaine.
Relapse after Previous Attempts to Quit
Breaking complete dependency of a potent drug like cocaine can take more than one attempt, with the process often being discouraging. Using hypnosis, you can work to overcome your cocaine addiction through rebuilding your confidence and determination.
If you’re ready to break away from your cocaine addiction and embrace a life free from addictive behaviours with hypnotherapy, contact Dr Kamal today.
How Effective Is Hypnotherapy as Cocaine Addiction Treatment?
Cocaine addiction can affect anyone, regardless of their social status. Whether you’re a recreational user at social events or rely on cocaine to get through the workday, cocaine dependence can disrupt various aspects of your life, including your health, relationships, and career.
Trying to break free from the grips of cocaine dependency can be extremely difficult, with withdrawal symptoms making the transition an uphill challenge.
Unlike conventional cocaine addiction treatments, hypnotherapy for cocaine addiction helps you to mentally prepare for the quitting experience, combining the power of hypnosis with exploration of the underlying causes of your addiction. The success, of course, depends on the severity of your addiction, but this method has been successful in a number of previous clients

How Hypnosis for Cocaine Addiction Helps
Hypnosis for cocaine addiction works by getting to the heart of the addictive mental habits that tempt you to use cocaine. Hypnosis puts your conscious mind at rest, while your subconscious mind is alert and receptive to suggestions. Your subconscious is where the triggers and emotions for addictive habits reside, and also where real change can happen.
With hypnotherapy for cocaine addiction, you can learn how to handle these stressors and break the trigger and behaviour association. My sessions help you identify and address the various emotional and psychological factors that lead you to crave cocaine. And, I’ll also help you manage the powerful withdrawal symptoms that prevent you from overcoming a cocaine addiction.
Why is Cocaine So Potent?
Cocaine is a white powder made from the coca plant. Also known as coke, Charlie, snow, and powder, it’s a potent substance that targets your nervous system when inhaled or sniffed. This drug increases the dopamine levels in your brain, raising your heart rate and making you experience heightened emotions, such as extreme confidence, excitement, or anxiety.
It’s available in three common forms:
Powder
In powder form, cocaine is snorted, rubbed onto the gums, or injected.
Crack
Small rocks of cocaine that are ground up and snorted, turned into a liquid and injected, or smoked.
Freebase
Cocaine in a crystallised form that can be smoked.
In the UK, the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 classifies cocaine as a Class A drug, which means it’s illegal to possess or sell this drug. Yet, after cannabis, cocaine is the second most commonly used drug. In 2019, nearly 1 million people across England and Wales used powder cocaine, while 180,000 used crack cocaine. With this increase in use, cocaine-related deaths have grown fivefold.
Understanding Cocaine Addiction
Using cocaine raises the levels of dopamine in the area of our brain that hosts the reward system.
These increased dopamine levels make most people feel more confident, happy, and talkative, while others may feel more agitated, aggressive, and risk-seeking. But it’s never possible to predict exactly how cocaine will make you feel.
Why Is Cocaine Addiction Hard to Break?
Contrary to popular belief, addiction is not a result of ingesting potent substances or performing harmful behaviours. Addiction forms when you depend on drugs like cocaine to fill the gaps of unmet emotional needs or are unable to deal with unresolved trauma or grief.
Cocaine gives you the much-needed escape from reality or pain that you may not be ready to deal with. You might also take up cocaine recreationally as a way to cope with prolonged stress and anxiety.
Cocaine affects different people in different ways, with some people taking cocaine multiple times without getting addicted, while others get addicted after just trying it once.
If you’re unable to stop taking cocaine, even if you want to, you may be experiencing dependency. Even with your best efforts, trying to quit can be extremely debilitating, with physical withdrawal symptoms and mental instability.
Cocaine addiction can be difficult to detect, but there are some signs to watch out for, including:
-
Mood swings
-
Increased energy and talkativeness
-
Frequent sniffing
-
Dilated pupils
- Difficulty sleeping
- Anxiety or paranoia
- Loss of appetite and weight loss
- Nosebleeds or nasal damage
These factors make cocaine abuse and addiction harder to break out of, but it’s possible with the right cocaine addiction treatment and support. Conventional approaches like group therapy and abstinence help some, but if you’re struggling to see progress and you’d like to make real, lasting change, hypnotherapy is worth a try.

Testimonials
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.
