	Smoking If you have a genuine desire to stop smoking, hypnosis will work for you. You will become a non-smoker again. Thousands of people every year stop smoking using hypnosis. You can be one of them. Hypnotherapy can make it much easier to give up. It will help you change your mind about being a smoker and enable you to focus on being a non smoker. Yes, you can stop smoking without gaining weight with hypnotherapy. You don't need to be told why you should stop smoking. You know already, don't you? You may have wanted to stop smoking for a long time. Like many other people, you may have even tried lots of other things to help you quit. Now it is time to use the one thing you may not have tried, yet, hypnosis and your subconscious mind. Our subconscious is an amazing resource. In fact we have everything we need inside ourselves to achieve whatever it is we want or desire, including becoming a non smoker. Hypnotherapy puts us in touch with this resource. Have you ever wondered why we get locked into habits such as smoking which we know reduce the quality of our life. If you had an experience when you were younger that led your subconscious to believe that smoking was a good thing (made you feel 'cool' or part of a group), then it will continue to motivate you to smoke, no matter how much you consciously wish to stop. While nicotine is both physically and psychologically addicting, the psychological addiction is much stronger than the physical one. Your body is nicotine-free in just 48 hours after giving up smoking. The psychological addiction or habit is controlled by the subconscious. Your subconscious is in fact responsible for you not being able to beat the habit using will power alone. Will power is a product of the conscious mind and unless it is supported by the subconscious it will not succeed or if it does it won't be for long. Using hypnosis we can harness the power of your subconscious so that you will no longer crave cigarettes and enable you to think and act like a non-smoker. Then it is no longer a struggle. Back to top How many sessions do I need? Every individual is unique, so it's impossible to say in advance how many sessions might be needed to make you a non-smoker. However, prior to your appointment, the therapist will have prepared a bespoke treatment for you. This will be delivered during a session lasting approximately 90 minutes. Using a combination of hypnosis and techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) we work together to harness the power of your subconscious in enabling you to become a non-smoker for the rest of your life.

	Healthy Eating Cognitive Hypnotherapy can help you to be in control around food. By tapping into the power of your subconscious mind you can overcome your cravings for unhealthy foods and begin to enjoy healthy nutritious foods. With hypnosis you change the way you react to food. You may find that you are more attracted to fruit and vegetables when you are shopping. You begin to eat only when you are physically hungry and you notice when you are full and stop eating. You send positive messages to your subconscious mind about how you want to live. You may even find that you begin to enjoy exercise, walking, cycling or maybe even going to the gym. Unlike losing weight through dieting, hypnosis makes losing weight a natural thing. It is not a battle between your conscious and subconscious mind. Diets simply give a very negative message to your subconscious mind. Diets make your subconscious believe there is a shortage of food or even a famine. It will therefore enable the body to extract even the tiniest amounts of fat from food and store it in order to survive the famine/diet. Sometimes, people simply overeat. By using your subconscious to help you to eat consciously, you notice when you are full and stop eating. Other people eat when they are sad or unhappy. This is comfort eating and sometimes it is because of how food was used as a reward or treat when the person was younger. Using cognitive hypnosis to explore why the subconscious associates food with comfort we can enable you to overcome the need to comfort eat. It will be weight off your mind, won't it? It may be also that you have a problem appreciating yourself and how you look. Hypnotic suggestions can be used to change how you feel about yourself for the rest of your life. When you feel great about yourself it is easy to do the right thing, like eat healthily. Back to top
	Overcome Phobia You know already that your phobia is irrational. This however does not help as phobias are controlled not by our conscious but by our subconscious mind. Phobias are usually based on some significant emotional event from our formative years. As an adult, anything which reminds our subconscious of this event will trigger the response you are familiar with. That's right, the fear, the anxiety, the panic. First Choice Hypnotherapy uses a combination of Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) to enable people to overcome their phobia. Most simple phobias can be overcome in one or two sessions. Back to top

	Overcome Panic, Stress and Anxiety Maybe you are reading this because you feel or think that you could cope better with stressful situations if only you know how. The stress you are experiencing may be a recent phenomenon or you may have been stressed for many years. The difference between a stressful situation and a challenging situation is our perception of: - our ability of manage it - the level of control we feel we have over it - the meaning and significance it has for us Prolonged stress or exposure to a very stressful event can result in anxiety and/or panic attacks. Using a combination of cognitive hypnosis and techniques from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) we will work together with you to find the emotional root of your stress/anxiety and enable you to discover the powerful resources you have within your subconscious to live the great life you were born to live with confidence you never knew you had.
