There is not one single feeling. Many people notice profound relaxation, floating, sinking. It is generally a very fun and easy process. You'll know it's working by the results you get during the session. 

If you have a good internet connection, hypnosis is as effective online as in person. Sometimes it can be even more effective. Here's why:

• The change occurs in your head, not in a particular place. 
• You pick a comfortable location, for many this will be your home. 
• You save time and money, as no travel is needed. 

Typically we work within a framework of 3 sessions. Each client is different however, you may find you need less, or a few more depending on your circumstances. 

No. Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness. 

Yes, this is a process of you taking back control.  Nobody has been made to bark like a dog....yet.

Sometimes, traditional hypnosis is not for everyone. The good news is I can usually help people get the same results without formal hypnosis too. In the case that I cannot help you, I will inform you of this as early on as possible. 

Being a non-smoker needs to be a real priority for you. You will be expected to engage, focus and interact fully.  This is a collaborative process and you play an active role. 

I believe in testing the work we do. Typically you will notice one of the following scenarios from the first session. 

• After the first session, you quit your mind simply focuses on other stuff, as if you never smoked. 
• You quit smoking, and you use a few rapid techniques to quell the last remaining cravings
• You dramatically reduce how much you smoke, before quitting completely in the coming days. 

Sometimes there are no cravings or withdrawal at all. Other times, there are some which eventually vanish after a few days. You’ll be equipped with rapid ways of dealing with them.

Part of the process ensures that you are not replacing cigarettes with food.  

Taking some kind of action before the session can be a great way to cement the commitment you have made to yourself. It is up to you what you want to do with your old cigarettes which you will no longer need. 

Yes. In the way we work together, those social moments will serve as reminders as to why you made the decision to quit. You may start a trend amongst your friends.

No. Many people believe hypnotists make people do things they don't want to. In reality, I help people clear away the mental blocks, and help you to imagine things differently. If you don't want to quit, you will not. 

Yes. Many people experience this inner conflict and it is where hypnosis can be very useful. 

It is important that the person who wants to quit is fully on-board and takes full responsibility. Therefore, they will need to book the consultation.  I can provide tips and advice for concerned relatives - simply contact change@boosthypnosis.com

In the case of children under 18, parents may book and pay for the session.  

This reflects most clients I see. Most methods involve lots of willpower or using substitute products. This works because we address the underlying psychological aspects. In the consultation process, I will establish if this is the right method for you. 

Yes, this process is ideal for any habitual behaviour. 

No, infact you will also learn tools to manage anxiety. Nicotine is a powerful stimulant, and it is common that many smokers experience higher levels of stress and anxiety due to the cigarettes themselves. 

If you genuinely want to quit, you will be able to.  The important thing is to take responsibility and follow the instructions given. This does not take away your ability to smoke, but the need will be gone. 

Yes, if you genuinely want to quit and are prepared to follow the instructions given.  This does not take away your ability to smoke, but the need will be gone.
