In the UK so far this year...
Twelve million people in the UK are gripped by the addictive mind-distorting influence of nicotine. Half will eventually die because of it. Meanwhile, 450 children continue to slip into the trap every single day. This site aims to inform, educate, debunk, persuade and inspire a way out of the nicotine trap. The bare facts, the psychological 'twists' of addiction, local quit sessions, the resources here at smoke-freedom.co.uk should at least get you thinking. When you change your thoughts, you'll notice that your perceptions and behaviours might start changing themselves, and you can continue taking positive steps out of the nasty nicotine trap. Welcome!
Whether you are an individual or a business keen to enjoy the benefits of smoke-freedom, I look forward to working with you. Starting afresh is a great opportunity to become more self-aware, to learn some interesting psychology and to feel the great satisfaction of having done something incredibly positive for yourself. A dynamic range of approaches, techniques and fields of knowledge are used in my 1-to-1 and corporate stop smoking sessions. I have trained with some of the best behaviour change specialists, including Dr Ernest Rossi and Hollywood hypnotist Gil Boyne. At the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital I worked with hundreds of inpatients, helping many to achieve smoke freedom. Although nicotine replacement therapy (the patch etc) can be useful, I recognise the importance of the smoker's own mind as the central resource to self-change. Knowing the right information, seeing things from different perspectives, encouraging motive, belief and confidence in quitting. And it can be enjoyable! Even those who wanted to carry on smoking often changed their mind after chatting and learning about the nicotine trap. If you represent a business, you should already recognise the huge benefits in encouraging a smoke-free workforce (click on the link to see how £much you have to gain). But how can you maximise this opportunity by supporting your smokers to start afesh? The NHS Devon Primary Care Trust have left you out in the cold by withdrawing their advisors. Its frustrating, particularly when you see the counter above showing how much the government are making from smokers. Leaving leaflets in the staff room is hardly going to change minds either. As well as being available for talks and company stop smoking sessions, I also provide 1-to-1 sessions as part of my hypnotherapy practice for individuals. So arrange for me to visit to talk to your staff. I am able to deliver information and techniques to capture the imagination, to get minds thinking, changing, developing the all-important motive to quit and enjoy smoke-freedom. 01392 258990 So lets clear the air - and start afresh!
