Quit Smoking

Quit 4 Life is the new national support service for people who are ready to quit smoking permanently.

We are a growing team of hypnotherapists trained in the Quit 4 Life method. We use a blend of clinical hypnosis, cognitive therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) – all our clients are given CDs to take home and are taught methods of self-hypnosis.

For every quit-smoking session we do, we donate £10 to Cancer Research UK.

You can book a session with me as usual, or check out the Quit 4 Life website. The site is free to join, with no purchase necessary and no pressure – ever – to take up a session with a hypnotherapist. When you join, you’ll receive an email containing details of all accredited Quit 4 Life practitioners in your area, and a voucher for £25 towards the cost of hypnotherapy for smoking cessation. Your email address is the only piece of information you need to give, and you won’t receive spam!

If you’ve had a good experience with Quit 4 Life, we’d love you to recommend us to a friend. We’ll give you £20 in M&S vouchers each time someone you recommend has stop-smoking therapy with us. (They don’t have to see the same therapist as you – it can be any member of the Quit 4 Life team). Your friend(s) will also receive a £25 voucher towards their session.

Success rates

In 1992 New Scientist reported that, after just one session of hypnotherapy, a smoker stands ten times as much chance of quitting than if they used willpower alone. Over 72,000 individual cases were included in this study, and of all the methods studied, hypnotherapy was found to be the most effective by far.

The majority of clients need just one session to stop smoking.

Costs

My Quit 4 Life sessions are 90 minutes long, for £160 (£135 if you use a Quit4Life voucher). You will very likely need just one session – I’ll teach you techniques in self-hypnosis and you’ll have a CD to take home and keep, to help you stay a non-smoker for life.

If you do decide to have any follow-up sessions, these will be £80. You can come back for follow-ups at any point in the future – there’s no time limit!
