You may have thought about stopping many times before. Perhaps you've tried to quit, only to find yourself returning to familiar habits despite your intention to stop.
Smoking and vaping can become connected with routines, triggers, emotions and particular situations, while nicotine dependence can also make stopping more difficult. You may notice yourself reaching for a cigarette or vape automatically, during periods of stress, after meals, socially, or simply because the behaviour has become part of everyday life.
Therapy can provide support as you work towards stopping smoking or vaping. Together, we can explore the patterns and triggers associated with the behaviour, strengthen your reasons for change, and develop practical strategies for responding differently when familiar urges or situations arise.
My approach integrates Clinical Hypnotherapy with evidence-informed psychological, cognitive and behavioural approaches, tailored to your individual circumstances, patterns and goals.
Therapeutic support can also sit alongside established smoking cessation services and nicotine dependence treatments where these are appropriate for you.
