The Stop Smoking FAQ

Your questions answered!

How long does it take? Approximately 2 hours give or take either side.

Why does it take 2 hours? My job is to get both of your minds in agreement. You’re conscious and subconscious mind. This takes a little time.

Can you stop me smoking? This is a question I get asked most days. My answer is NO. No I cant stop you smoking but I can help you immensely to make the transition a lot smoother or in some cases easy but I cannot claim sole responsibility for you stopping smoking. I cannot stop a person smoking without the cooperation, desire and effort of the person who comes to see me. Often people who ask me that question are looking for the magic spell that does not exist. It would be extremely arrogant of me to claim that I stopped a person smoking. I prefer to say I helped.

Is everybody accepted on to the course? No. I decline about 50% of callers who ask for help. Not everybody is suitable for the course and people must pass the strict criteria that is actually for their benefit. I ask people a few questions and if they tick the right boxes they are accepted, if not I decline.

Why don’t you accept everybody? The reason is not because I am arrogant and think I am better than some people, it is because I don’t want people to waste their time money and effort on something that probably won’t work. It can be emotionally hard for people who don’t stop with hypnotherapy so it’s better to decline them to avoid the distress. If I was greedy money orientated person who didn’t care about my clients I would say yes to them all but that isn’t my agenda or me. I care passionately about the people I see and if it doesn’t work it devastates me too! My reputation is solid as is my commitment to my clients. I never say yes to a client I don’t think I can help.

I’ve never tried to stop on my own before does that matter? Yes it does as if you have never tried you don’t know if you could do it without hypnosis do you. You might not need it. Many people quit without hypnosis but if you have never tried how do you know you can’t do it. I find that when people who call me tell me that they haven’t tried it is because they are looking for the quick fix, the miracle cure etc and they are refused.

I’ve been smoking for 40 years does that matter? Not one bit. I can honestly say that I have found that how you a person has smoked for has no bearing on the result. If you come with the right reasons and attitude you can do it.

Is there a back up service? I give all my clients a two month FREE back up service after the stop smoking course which includes telephone support and even extra hypnosis if needed. It’s rare that you would ever need it but it is there if you do. Everybody is unique so I can never tell who might need an extra booster.

Will I crave cigarettes after treatment? Hopefully not, but if you do any cravings you get won’t be as bad as going cold turkey. In the course of the treatment you will understand the real reason why people crave cigarettes and this helps to eliminate it.

Will I get withdrawal? Some do some don’t, but whatever happens it won’t be as bad as having your legs removed or getting terminal cancer due to smoking.

What if I start smoking after 6 months? If a person starts smoking after a month it is because they have chosen to smoke again and not due to a failing in the treatment. If a person chooses to smoke again but then later regrets it, it is their fault and not mine. I cannot stop a person making choices in their life, which would be both impossible and immoral. When a person comes to see me for help I take it on good faith that they really do want to stop smoking forever.  If they don’t then they have conned both themselves and me.

Will I go into a trance? No! Hypnotherapy will take you out of the trance. You will no longer obey the wishes of a cigarette company after the treatment.

What is your success rate? Due to my strict criteria it is around 90%, which is pretty good. Don’t believe anybody who tells you they get 100%.

What is your guarantee? My guarantee is this: I will give you 110% in order to help you stop smoking. I will do my utmost best. I can no more than that. Beware of charlatans who claim to have god like powers!
