How does a hypnotherapist help smokers to stop?


Almost every smoker, over the years, becomes psychologically conditioned to believe they need to smoke.

Hypnotherapy is a way for the therapist to access the deeper parts of your mind and re-programme them.

You will normally need just one session, lasting perhaps an hour and a half, although some NSCI therapists prefer to give more, but the cost is the same.

What’s special about NSCI Hypnotherapy just for Smokers?


Smokers face many issues when thinking of hypnotherapy, among them:

  • Is it the right therapy for you?

  • How do you find a properly qualified therapist?

  • Who do you turn to for long-term help with staying stopped?
We will not provide hypnotherapy for you unless we feel it is right. Use our Programme Finder to discover if it is, or call and speak with one of our counsellors on 0845 345 2092 or 01273 205196.

Every NSCI Therapist is vetted, trained by us, and regularly monitored, so you can go to them with complete confidence.

And finally, you will receive lifetime membership of NSCI QuitClub, so we will be looking after you indefinitely.

All of this for a fee that is no more than the average hypnotherapist charges.

So why would you have ordinary hypnotherapy, when you can have all this?

What does it cost, and what does it include?


As a not-for-profit service, we want every smoker to be able to afford our
help. For this reason, the programme fee varies, to reflect the cost of
living in different parts of the country.

The fee is shown in the branch information which you will come to shortly.

This is what the programme includes:

- A session with an NSCI Hypnotherapist in your area, usually lasting about
an hour and a half. Some branches will automatically book you in for two
sessions, because the local hypnotherapist prefers to work in this way.

- Life membership of NSCI QuitClub, to help you to stay stopped for ever.
Your membership pack will be sent to you the day of your appointment.

- In many branches we are able to offer a follow up session if your QuitClub
counsellor feels this is needed.
