Stop Smoking
Many people all over the world have quit smoking. You can too
Hypnotherapy to stop smoking
In 1992 New Scientist Magazine published the results of an extensive clinical study on the most effective smoking cessation methods. A meta-analysis, statistically combining the results of more than 600 studies (over 72,000 individual cases) showed that a single session hypnosis increased a smoker’s success chance by 1000% from 6% to 60%. Here are the success rates for different smoking cessation methods:
60% – Single session Hypnosis
24% – Acupuncture
10% – Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
6% – Willpower alone
These impressive figures are for hypnosis alone. Using modern clinical hypnotherapy combined with cognitive behavioural therapy these results improve considerably.
Interestingly the latest research on NRT (see “NRT hyped” on BBC website) shows a success rate of only 7.2%, barely better than willpower alone! Yet NRT is currently the most popular recommended treatment for smoking cessation under the NHS.

TESTIMONIALS
Hi Barry
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve finaly achieved that 9st goal!
Since I had the sessions with you I’ve been much more determined and focused on achieving my goals and I wanted to say a huge thank you for that.I hope you are well.
Kind regards,
Hello Barry, I hope you are well. I am just letting you know that I would like to cancel my appointment next Tuesday, 12th. Things are going very well just now and I’m pleased to say that I am now in the process of reducing my medication – very slowly, but it’s a start. Until I came to see you it wasn’t something that I had ever really given much thought to but some of our conversations made me really think about it and, I feel, has given me the positive mental attitude and strength to start off on the path to being meds-free.
I’ve really benefited from our few sessions; this is the first time I have ever felt any form of therapy has been useful and I would like to thank you. I’m not saying you won’t see me again because I’m not sure how things will play out, but for the time being I would like to leave things. And as I say, thank you for the sessions that we have had.
Hello Dear Barry,
I just thought that this skeptic would pop you a quick email to not only thank you but also to let you know that’s its been 2 weeks now since I’ve had the meeting/session
with you and have not smoked since!!!! Wow I feel so excited that I do not have that niggly craving anymore of going outside for a smoke whether at work or when I’m out with
friends having a social drink. I have never had hypnotherapy before so was a bit nervous about the session at first until speaking to you, you really made me feel comfortable
and at ease.To anyone out there who is thinking about it or having second thoughts about booking a session, please don’t! I will be happy if I could convince at least 1 person to take
the bull by the horns and give it a shot. Just try it, what have you got to lose. This is a true testimonial written in my words so please don’t feel that because you’re
reading it on Barry’s webpage that it’s been edited- that’s a message to the doubting Thomas’s/pessimist’s out there. ;-))Barry, a big ‘thank you’ again words cannot express how grateful and thankful I am and cheers to a healthier lifestyle that I thought was impossible!
Kindest regards
