Hypnotherapy for Addiction and Habit Change

A calm, practical plan to reduce cravings and change routines—so you can make choices you feel good about.

No shame. No scare tactics. You stay in control the entire time. We build safety first and move at your pace.

WHAT WE COVER

  • Triggers and routines: map when urges hit (time, place, people, feelings)

  • Craving strategies: fast resets you can use right away

  • Identity shifts: support “I’m someone who chooses differently”

  • If‑then plans: simple steps for high‑risk moments

  • Slip recovery: what to do next without shame

HOW IT WORKS

  • Step 1: Free 20‑minute call We clarify what you want to change, answer questions, and outline a plan that fits your life.

  • Step 2: First session (in‑person or online) Build safety, map triggers, and install new responses. You’ll leave with tools, as required, for your first week.

  • Step 3: Follow‑ups (as needed) 1–3 shorter sessions to reinforce new routines and refine high‑risk moments.

Note on timelines: Many people notice a shift within 1–3 sessions; we’ll tailor the plan to your needs. Results vary—your pace leads.

HIGH-RISK MOMENTS WE PREPARE FOR

  • Evenings after work or after dinner

  • Social settings and “just one” logic

  • Stress, boredom, fatigue, and loneliness

  • Driving, TV, or scrolling cues

  • Being around others who use

  • Payday, celebrations, and anniversaries

CARE & HONESTY

Hypnotherapy complements—does not replace—medical care. For complex addiction, we’ll collaborate with your GP or other providers (with your consent). Results vary from person to person.

No one can guarantee a quit result on a specific date, but we can stack the odds in your favour with a clear process, strong follow‑up, and a plan for tough moments.

QUICK READINESS CHECK

On a scale of 0-10, how ready do you feel?

  • 7–10: Let’s set your plan.

  • 4–6: We’ll stabilise triggers and practise challenging situations first.

  • 0–3: No rush—book a call to explore options without pressure.

FAQs

Will I be in control during hypnotherapy?

Yes. You remain awake, aware, and in charge. We go only where you choose.

FAQ image

How many sessions will I need?

Many shift in 1–3 sessions. We tailor the plan and follow‑ups to your needs. We don’t believe in simply taking the addiction away — that wouldn’t feel compassionate. It’s like a surgeon asking an elderly man to hand over his walking stick and then expecting him to walk unaided. You need the right support in place first.

FAQ image

What if I slip?

There's no shame in slipping, slips are data, not failure. We ask that you notice and have an awareness of when the slips took place, so we can work together to dissolve those triggers.

FAQ image

Is online as effective as in‑person?

Yes. A quiet space with either a desktop, laptop and headphones work well.

FAQ image

Do you help with smoking, alcohol, and emotional eating?

Yes. We address triggers and routines for each, and build practical alternatives.

We work with any kind of addiction (gambling, porn, drugs etc), I believe they have a trigger eg. stress, which can be dissolved.
