Smoking Cessation 

 Mark Twain said, "It's easy to stop smoking, I've done it a thousand times!"

How many times have you tried to stop smoking? How many New Year's Resolutions have you made and broken? How many different ways have you tried? There is a major problem with most methods - you are left with a feeling of empty hands and an empty mouth. This often leads to weight gain or at least badly bitten nails. Fighting your craving for a cigarette as well as fighting 'empty hand syndrome' leads many quitters to failure. My methods are different.

First I spend a little time discussing the reasons why you smoke and what it does to you. I then plan a finely tuned mixture of hypnotherapy, NLP, CBT and EFT to give you the tools you need to become a non-smoker. Forever.

You have a choice of treatment programs, each will leave you full of determination and energy, an infallible combination!

Private Sessions; After your free initial consultation I will plan three treatment sessions, each building on the one before to beat your addiction forever. Too stressed to stop smoking? Don't worry, we can easily extend the number of sessions you need to enable you to lead the life you want. Remember, if you pay for your course in advance, £10 will be donated to The British Lung Foundation.

Why three sessions when other therapists claim a 100% success rate after only one session? I have spoken to many people over the years who have stopped smoking after one session. Often, the effects last for only a few months, then the urge for a cigarette becomes too strong. Sometimes the client has gained so much weight that they don't feel becoming a non-smoker was really worth it. With my three-session plan I not only help rid you of the desire to smoke, I help you to put in place non-smoking strategies which will last you for life.

SmokeFree4Life Workshops; In my four hour workshops you will get the chance to meet other smokers, to share your experiences and then help each other along the road. The treatment follows the same basic path as private sessions, with the advantage of a reduced fee and the support of like minded people as you become a non-smoker.

Weight Control

Do you know the most popular day to start a diet? Tomorrow! How many times have you decided that you will definitely start your diet tomorrow? And if you lose 3lb a week, it will take you this many weeks to be your ideal weight? And if you spend two hours in the gym twice a week, jog twice a week then do yoga, you'll be super fit. Starting tomorrow. In the meantime, let's just finish off that chocolate cake, have a last packet of crisps, maybe a final takeaway. Then what happens? You get hungry, tired, bored or stressed and go straight back to your old eating patterns.

Why does this happen? Is it because you are lazy, dumb or greedy? No! It happens because DIETS DON'T WORK! The only way to effectively control your weight is by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. The problem is, a healthy eating regime is easy to plan but not so easy to implement. You work hard, come home tired, perhaps via the takeaway. You have a stressful job, and convenience foods are so, well, convenient. Maybe you are at home all day, can't find a job, the baby is crying, you get bored... Does any of this sound familiar?

At Wonderful World Life Therapy I understand this. I work with a Nutritional Therapist to help you plan your new lifestyle. I use Hypnotherapy, CBT, NLP and EFT to help you find the resources to tackle your stressors, remove cravings and find the motivation to exercise regularly. In other words I treat the WHOLE PERSON, not just the flabby bits!
