About addiction / smoking
A clearer mind. A stronger you. A fresh start.
Addictions can feel isolating, overwhelming and difficult to break — whether it’s smoking, alcohol, food, gambling, or other compulsive behaviours. Even when you want to stop, the mind can pull you back into old habits that feel impossible to escape.
This is where Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help you create real, lasting change.
Whether your goal is hypnotherapy to give up smoking, reduce alcohol use, rebuild willpower or break unhelpful coping patterns, hypnotherapy provides a calm and powerful route to change from the inside out.
You are not stuck — habits can be rewired.
Addictive behaviours don’t come from a lack of willpower — they develop from deeper subconscious patterns.
These patterns are driven by emotional triggers, stress or learned responses that keep the cycle going.
Hypnotherapy works by helping you:
Uncover and release subconscious triggers
Reframe limiting beliefs and habits
Reduce cravings and emotional dependence
Boost motivation, clarity and self-control
Strengthen willpower and decision-making
Build healthier coping strategies
Reconnect with inner strength and resilience
By accessing a deeply relaxed, focused state, hypnotherapy helps shift automatic behaviours linked to smoking, alcohol or other habits — allowing new, healthier responses to form.
Stop smoking through structured sessions tailored to your personal triggers
Break the cycle of cravings through better emotional regulation
Reduce stress-driven urges linked to alcohol or food
Strengthen day-to-day willpower
Build new coping mechanisms you can rely on
Create long-term behavioural change
Feel calmer, clearer and more in control
