When Ellie (not her real name) first rang me, her voice sounded anxious. Years of smoking had left her short of breath, coughing in the mornings, and her doctor had warned her that she needed to make a change soon. Like many smokers, she felt trapped. She’d tried patches, gum, even willpower alone—but none of it had stuck.
The First Call That Changed Everything
That first phone call was the turning point. Ellie admitted she was nervous about hypnotherapy, but curious—she had heard from friends that hypnotherapy could help people stop smoking. She decided to give it a try.
We booked a session for the following week, and that was when something shifted.
Becoming a Non-Smoker with Hypnotherapy
Although she didn’t fully realise it at the time, Ellie walked out of that appointment a non-smoker. No cravings. No “fighting with herself.” It was like a switch had flicked in her mind.
Months later, through a chance meeting with one of her friends, I heard Ellie was still free from cigarettes—and enjoying life a lot more.
Why Hypnotherapy Works to Quit Smoking
As an ex-smoker myself, I understand how powerful hypnotherapy can be in overcoming what’s often seen as a difficult habit to break. With the right approach, hypnotherapy helps you reframe your relationship with cigarettes so that the pull simply isn’t there anymore.
Stories like Ellie’s remind me how powerful change can be once you decide to take that first step. Sometimes it really does start with a single phone call.
