Our minds work on two levels - the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind.

Because, in my opinion, smoking is a habit, I believe it to be controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis works directly with the unconscious, this is the method that makes sense to me.

Your unconscious mind is very creative and powerful; I can help you to use this power to mask any withdrawal symptoms for the short time it takes for nicotine to leave your blood stream. Then the healing process begins and you can look forward to a healthier future.

Yes, if you want it to. In my opinion, the only people who cannot be hypnotised, are those who are drunk, drugged, or with severely reduced communication skills. Normal, creative, imaginative and intelligent people, respond well.

Yes, but only if you want to be. You are in control; the Hypnotherapist acts as a guide, you can choose whether to follow. The analytical part of your brain can observe the whole process. You will probably find the experience fascinating, as you will hear every word that is said to you. A certain amount of stubborness helps, too.

Most people cannot tell the difference between the hypnotised and waking states. We experience the same state when deeply involved in a book or film. One thing my clients do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviours.

Yes, you are aware and in control at every moment. You can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get 'stuck' in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to do anything against your will. Hypnosis is a natural, relaxing and enjoyable experience.
