HC Johnson Hypnotherapy

Helen was amazing. I would love to say I remembered a lot about the session but I spent most of it under hypnosis. She is really easy to talk to and I felt much better.

Fantastic service! Was a bit sceptical but I was put at ease quickly and the results speak for themselves I stopped smoking after the main session and have never touched one again in over two years! Very professional yet personalised service Highly recommended!

Having smoked for most of my adult life, I was motivated to give up for health reasons, particularly in respect of regular episodes of bronchitis and asthma. I had tried several times before, without success. Patches and inhalers hadn't helped, I didn't want to go down the prescription medication route (which hadn't worked for several of my friends), and my 2 copies of "that" book about giving up smoking had only been of any utility when they were put to use supporting my bed when one of the legs broke. I knew a couple of people who had success in giving up through hypnotherapy, and as keen as I was to give up I knew that I needed some help. I contacted Helena after getting a recommendation from a good friend, who had also given up under her treatment. After an initial assessment to confirm my suitability I returned for a longer appointment that started the process, followed a week later by the main session after which I was a non-smoker. The "hypnosis" was actually a very calming experience, more of a very relaxed state of consciousness than the "oblivious" state which I had mistakenly anticipated; I found the experience so enjoyable that it required quite some effort to return to the normal state of alertness when this was required at the end of each session. 16 months on and I haven't had a cigarette. My breathing is much improved, and the nightly coughing is no more. I feel so much healthier as each month goes by. The lack of smoking is even more remarkable given that this period has seen a number of life events that would have in the past had me reaching for the nicotine support sticks as a support mechanism. This is not to say that I haven't had the occasional nicotine cravings, but they usually pass within seconds by just thinking about something else, and for the rare ones that last longer, Helena gave me a technique that put them out of mind, and I havn't needed to use that since the middle of last year, 8 months ago. In addition to the health benefits, there has been a considerable financial bonus. I used to spend £30 a week on tobacco, and within 2 moths I has already paid off the cost of the hypnotherapy treatment. 16 moths later and I am nearly £2,000 better off - and feeling so much better. I wish I'd done it years ago.Moreexpand_more

As a heavy smoker, I had excellent preparation making sure and motivating me towards my stop date. Also I had help to relax and find my calm place. The hypnotherapy session itself then was totally relaxing where I could hear everything being said. Afterwards it was like someone had turned a switch! Not only did I find it easy to stop smoking, I felt really happy about it too! I would highly recommend.
