Smoking
Want to stop smoking?
Some people find it very hard to give up smoking. You may have tried many times before, but still find yourself going back for more, even though you know the damage that tobacco can cause you.
So why do you still smoke?
You not only have an addiction to nicotine, you also have made associations to cigarettes, for example, you may think they help you to relax, or it can be an excuse to take a break or there may be a social aspect as to why you smoke.

- Make new associations, creating new patterns of behaviour, so you feel differently about smoking.
Losing Weight
Many people who want to lose weight try diet after diet, some lose weight only to put it back it on again. You may not like your body or how you feel, so you diet and lose weight, only when you stop dieting, you put the weight back on again, because you have not addressed your relationship with food, or the reason for your eating habits, so the cycle continues.

Phobias
A phobia is an excessive or irrational fear of an object or situation. In most cases the fear involves a sense of danger or harm. A phobic response can include symptoms such as: dizziness, breathlessness and nausea. These can come about at the sight, sound or even the thought of the phobia. For most people, they can live their life in a normal manner and the phobia does not get in the way. For others a phobia can seriously disrupt their life, it can stop people from doing a number of activities that they want to do. If the time has come when you want to get rid of your fear, hypnotherapy can help.

Increase your confidence
Having confidence, a belief in your own ability to succeed at a task, underpins all what we do in life. A lack of confidence can unconsciously stop you from doing many things in life, like performing well, losing weight and going for what we want. Many people rely on other people’s opinion, whereas the only opinion that really counts is our own. When we can learn to value ourselves, it really paves the way for creating a richer, fuller life.
Hypnotherapy can help you to:
- Unlearn any negative thought patterns and replace them with positive thought patterns
- Position yourself to where you want to be in the future.
- Trust your own opinions, so you can rely on you in the future
- Make your own decisions, ones that are right for you.
- Believe in yourself, so you can do anything you want to do.
Improve your performance
In the business of sport or business, your performance will be measured, analysed and targeted. We focus many hours in acquiring new skills, training our bodies to perform well and training for certain situations. Though many a time, it is the mental game, how we are feeling, how we talk to ourselves that determines how well we do. We could have all the skills and capabilities necessary to perform well, though if we are feeling anxious, nervous or doubtful in any way, our performance could be jeopardised.
Hypnotherapy can improve your performance by:
- Changing your perception of time, giving you some extra time to manoeuvre yourself
- Helping you to cope with the pressure of performing, so you can enjoy what you do.
- Control your nerves and any anxiety, so your performance is where you want it to be.
- Mentally rehearsing your performance, so when it comes to the real thing, you are ready.
Get rid of Stress and anxiety
Stress can sometimes creep up on us without us realising. We may experience a number of symptoms that may be slight, that we do not realise that we are suffering from stress.
The symptoms could include:
- Weight gain
- Lower immune system
- Not eating properly
- Feeling tired and fatigued.
- Feeling stressful can stop us from doing what we want to be able to do.
Hypnotherapy can help by:
- Teaching you coping strategies to stressful situations, so you can manage these situations
- Teaching you how to relax, so you are feeling less stressful.
- Teaching you how to be in control of your responses
