'It was a unique, very personal experience. I am normally a sceptic about these things but it was definitely worth it.'

"Are you ready to stop smoking with Sophie?"
Maybe you've tried to give up smoking unsuccessfully before?
Maybe you've decided that you really do want to stop smoking for good and you're looking for the fast, effective and totally drug-free way to kick the habit?
Well, you've come to the right place!
Your subconscious mind can help you to achieve anything - and I really do mean anything - that you want to achieve. And I can help you to use the power of your subconscious to become a happy and relaxed non-smoker.
What's more, once you realise that you have this amazing ability to gain mastery of your own mind and thoughts, just imagine what else you can achieve in your life.
Here's what one of my clients wrote to me recently:
'I have not touched a cigarette since I saw you, and it feels so good to be free of them. I truly believe that I look better, and feel so much fitter. I have really felt a huge difference in that respect. Thanks so much for what you have done for me. ' - Geraldine Williams.
Now, as you read this, you might be thinking to yourself, 'Ah, but Sophie, you really don't know me. There are lots of things that I really don't think I can do and I'm not sure whether you will be able to help me to become a non-smoker...'
Well, let me reassure you that this is exactly what Geraldine thought. I have already worked with many, many people who thought just like that and... guess what?... they were not 'hopelessly addicted' in the slightest. They just hadn't yet learned how to channel their own amazing inner resources into achieving their goals. They learned these skills and so can you.
Hypnotherapy is the solution that the drug companies don't want you to know about.
Hypnotherapy is at least twice as effective as Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patches, gum, inhalators) and you will probably only need one session to give up smoking for good. This is because hypnotherapy works differently from Nicotine Replacement Therapy.
FACT! Nicotine addiction is not the main problem in stopping smoking.
We know this because nicotine and the other harmful chemicals in cigarettes are completely out of your body in as little as three or four days. So, if you can stop for a week or so, you've cracked the chemical addiction involved in smoking.
But I meet people all the time who manage to give up for a few weeks or months, only to drift back into their smoking habit. These people have overcome their chemical addiction but they haven't addressed the psychological aspects of their habit. The habit of smoking is lodged firmly in their subconscious mind and has perhaps become associated with certain aspects of their daily routines, or with socialising or with stressful situations. It's no wonder that the nagging subconscious desire to smoke eventually wears them down.
But hypnotherapy works by helping you to use the power of your subconscious mind, replacing your smoking habit with a non-smoking habit.
The evidence
A meta-analysis to find the most effective way to give up smoking was conducted by Frank Schmidt and Chockalingam Viswesvaran of the University of Iowa, statistically combining the results of more than 600 studies covering almost 72 000 people from America, Scandinavia and elsewhere. This study showed that, for most smokers, the most effective technique was hypnosis: in fact, 48 studies covering over 6000 smokers, gave an average success rate of 80% for this method. The findings were reported in New Scientist in October 1992.
In fact, I feel so strongly that hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis are the best ways to lose the habit of smoking, that i wrote a letter to The Guardian newspaper about it.
