Try Our Stop Smoking Challenge

You think you enjoy smoking - it turns out that you think wrong!

Think You Enjoy Smoking? Think Again.

Imagine watching yourself smoke. Not once, not twice—but five times. What do you see? Chances are, you’re distracted—driving, chatting, texting, maybe sipping coffee or wine. But here’s the kicker: in all those moments, you’re never really present with the cigarette.

Why?

Because deep down, you don’t enjoy smoking.


Enjoyment Looks Different

When you eat your favourite meal, you’re in the moment. When you savour a glass of whisky, or make love, or lose yourself in a great conversation—you’re all in. The taste, the smell, the experience—it’s pleasurable, conscious, and engaging.

Now compare that to a cigarette.

Do you love the smell? The taste? The act of inhaling 4,000 toxic chemicals?

Didn’t think so.


The Real Reason You Smoke

You’ve spent years building associations. Smoking meant you were cool, part of the group, a little older, maybe a bit rebellious. But those were the associations—not the cigarette itself.

When you first tried smoking, did it feel good? Or did it make you feel green?

Exactly.


The 5-Cigarette Challenge

Here’s your task: the next five cigarettes you smoke, do so mindfully. That means no driving, chatting, scrolling, drinking, or daydreaming.

Just you, the cigarette, and the truth.

Notice the taste. The smell. The way it feels in your throat and lungs. Breathe it in. Hold it. Breathe it out. Repeat.

Do this five times and ask yourself one question: Do I actually enjoy this?

You already know the answer.


Ready for the Next Step?

Once you’ve discovered the truth—that you’ve never really enjoyed smoking—you’re already one step closer to becoming a happy, healthy non-smoker.

If you’re ready to take the rest of the journey, we’d love to help.

Therapies

Genuine, Rapid & Long Lasting Change

Hypnotherapy

Versus traditional psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy can be a more direct and potentially authentic means to heal old emotional injuries and change long term beliefs and perspectives.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that emphasises the important role of critical thinking in how we feel and behave. CBT focuses on changing current thoughts and feelings rather than the past.

Emotional Coaching

Coaching focuses on engaging, motivating, challenging and all importantly empowering another human being to be more courageous, more authentic, more confident and ultimately, much more more!

NLP

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been described as a software manual for the brain. It is a proven model for supporting and accelerating human performance, especially in the areas of business and sports.

The Details

How We Work

Consultation
Free

Why not have a chat - it's free after all! We will ask some questions about you, your history and your specific circumstances. We will tell you whether we can help and if we can, more specifically how.

Get Started
Number Of Sessions
1 - 5

Sessions last up to 2 hours. The number of sessions will depend on the issue(s) you wish to resolve. For example - curing phobias requires 1 or 2 sessions whereas some addiction work may require up to 4 or 5.

Get Started
Price & Payment
£
300
/hour

We charge £300 per hour. Payment is due at the end of the session by card or bank transfer. Where we deem appropriate and where we can, we are happy to provide flexible payment terms or a discount.

Get Started
Cancellation Policy

We will always be sensitive to clients needs and if we can change appointments around to avoid charging, which we usually can, we always will. That said, please be aware that any booking is subject to a rigid 24 hour cancellation / rearrangement policy. If we do not receive a minimum of 24 hours notice of a cancellation or re-arrangement, we reserve the right to charge for the appointment in full.

Confidentiality

A lot of our potential clients are concerned about confidentiality but just like doctors and lawyers, maintaining client confidentiality is of utmost concern and sharing anything outside of their sessions would be a violation of our code of ethics. We do not digitalise any of our client notes and the paper versions remain locked away until they are shredded a few months after we have finished working together. Over the years, when a client has been very sensitive to the issue of confidentiality, we have been more than happy to sign legally binding Non Disclosure Agreements.

Guarantees

Other than for smoking cessation, we do not offer any guarantees. As you will have seen via Trustpilot, our approach proves remarkably effective so if you come to us with a real determination to succeed, you'll have an excellent chance of rapidly achieving your goal.
