One or two sessions, backed by our five-year guarantee.
For most people, smoking begins as a rite of passage or something that makes them feel cool - but very quickly it becomes something they do without thinking, even when they no longer want to.
The frustration is not a lack of information. Most smokers know the risks. The difficulty is that the habit is not only held in logic - it is held in triggers, routines, identity, and the nervous system's old shortcuts.
You're certainly not alone - and it really doesn't have to be this way.
At The Therapy Lounge, hypnotherapy is the primary approach we use for smoking work - focused on updating the unconscious drivers behind the habit, not just white-knuckling through cravings.
Smoking often overlaps with stress, anxiety, or other habits. If that resonates, you may also find our pages on hypnotherapy for stress and hypnotherapy for anxiety helpful.
Through a rapid, results-oriented style of hypnotherapy, many clients find the process more straightforward than years of stop-start attempts - especially when the mind is finally working with you, not against you.
Stop smoking hypnotherapy works by helping your mind loosen the old associations that keep the habit on autopilot - stress relief, reward, identity, or simply routine - and replace them with calmer, cleaner patterns that still meet the underlying need.
Sessions are available at our London practice in Finchley or online by video, which many clients find makes it easier to relax deeply, practise new responses in a familiar environment, and build momentum without adding travel friction. You stay fully aware and in charge throughout - this is focused, practical work, not a stage show.
Most clients need one or two sessions: either a single session of around two hours, or two sessions of about 90 minutes each. There are no magic wands, but many smokers are surprised by how natural it feels once the deeper pattern shifts.
Our five-year guarantee: stop smoking is a one-off fee of £795, which covers your session(s) and five years of guaranteed support. If you have any smoking-related issues in that time, we will see you again at no extra cost. The same applies if you want to stop vaping. Full details are on our main stop smoking page.
