SMOKING BAN IN ENGLAND SINCE JULY 1st 2007.
“Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little.”
‘New Scientist’ vol. 136 issue 1845 page 6.
Stopping smoking is always urgent but never too late. Every cigarette smoked damages the lungs in a way that may not show up until later in life. After the age of 35-40 years every year of continued smoking loses 3 months of life expectancy. Many smokers think that they will be more miserable when they stop but actually all the evidence is that they will have better mental health and be happier.
Beneficial health changes that take place from the minute you STOP SMOKING:
- 8 hours – Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in blood reduce by half, oxygen levels return to normal. Circulation improves.
- 24 hours – Carbon monoxide and nicotine eliminated from the body.
- 48 hours – The decline in lung function and excess risk of lung cancer halts.
- 1 month – Appearance improves – skin loses its grayish pallor and becomes less wrinkled.
- 3 – 9 months – Coughs and wheezing declines.
- 1 year – The excess risk of a heart attack reduces by half compared to that of a smoker.
- 15 years – Risk of heart attack falls to the same as someone who has never smoked.
Combining EFT and hypnotherapy can provide a positive and effective way to cut cravings, reduce withdrawal symptoms and STOP SMOKING for good!!

Anxiety is a very unpleasant feeling, experienced often in the stomach area but affecting the whole body. Some anxiety in life is expected and normal but there is a concern however, if the anxiety is prolonged and begins to interfere with everyday life. It is estimated that 1 in every 10 people will suffer with abnormal anxiety at some point in their lives.
The symptoms of anxiety can include one or all of the following: upset stomach, stomach discomfort, insomnia, irritability, palpitations, shortness of breath, poor concentration, feeling out of control. Hypnotherapy, self hypnosis techniques, EFT and NLP techniques can effectively treat anxiety issues. Results are often seen in 2-4 sessions.
Panic attacks can be very debilitating for the sufferer. Hypnotherapy offers an effective way to reduce and eventually say good bye to this most distressing problem. About a third of A&E admissions with people showing heart attack symptoms are actually people experiencing panic attacks. A loop is created by sufferers who worry about having an attack, which creates a panic, which makes an attack more likely, which creates more worry etc. Successful treatment creates confidence and teaches techniques to deal with a panic attack which in turn can reduce them drastically, eventually eliminating them completely. By using an effective combination of EFT, NLP and hypnotherapy clients often notice significant changes in 2-4 sessions.
