Hypnotherapy for addiction

Hypnotherapy – the key to a life without addictions.

Hypnotherapy for Addiction: Time to break free

Addictions, whether to smoking, drinking, drugs, or gambling, often start not as choices for pleasure but as escapes, but hypnotherapy for addiction can help.. They begin as coping mechanisms—a way to deal with emotions, stress, or peer pressure. Initially, they might seem like solutions, offering temporary relief or a sense of belonging. Yet, over time, the reasons behind these choices fade into the background, leaving only the habit, deeply ingrained and often destructive.

Hypnotherapy for addiction – The Emotional Roots of Addiction

Behind every addiction lies a complex web of emotions and experiences. Stress, anxiety, unresolved emotional pain, and the human need for connection can lead us down paths we never intended to follow. Addictions often mask deeper issues, serving as a patch for emotional wounds that never properly healed. Peer pressure during school years or the quest for acceptance can also initiate habits that persist long into adulthood, becoming part of our identity despite their harmful effects.

Hypnotherapy for addiction – Understanding to Overcome

Acknowledging addiction as a symptom rather than the core problem is crucial. It’s a signal that something within needs attention and care—something that no amount of substances or behaviours can truly mend. The journey to overcoming addiction is not just about breaking a habit; it’s about healing the person behind the habit.

“I was a long term smoker for over 40 years. Paul treated me in July 2018 for smoking and I am pleased to advise that from that date I have been a non smoker.

I owe a great debt to Paul as his methods are a great and refreshing way to stop smoking for good.

I would therefore urge anyone suffering with anxiety, phobias or addictions to seek the assistance of Paul without delay.”

"The test was actually on the day of flying. I had no fear from going to bed the night before the flight, to waking up, checking in, taking off and landing."

Ben

What clients have said.

"Since having seen Paul my fear of heights has become so much more manageable.

I’ve gone from not being able to walk over a bridge without crying, to completing a trapeze, zip wire and an auto-belay climb wall."

Michaela

What clients have said.

"Paul is amazing at what he does he has literally changed my life. From being frightened to go into a shop to flying halfway around the world and living my dream of visiting Disney.

His system is fantastic and he won’t give up until he re-trains the mind to be happy.

I never thought I would get my life back but thanks to Paul I have."

Vikki

What clients have said.

"If you are struggling with grief (or anxiety/depression) and are in need of some help, I couldn’t recommend Paul enough.

He really has helped me in ways beyond what I thought possible and I couldn’t be more grateful."

TC

"Paul has helped me through a very bad experience with acute anxiety. I am now fully recovered and back to my usual self.

Thank you Control And Change Hypnotherapy."

Janet

What clients have said.

“After months of my daughter suffering with anxiety & being in a state of hysterics every evening, I arranged for her to see Paul.

Throughout the process he has been active & genuinely engaged in helping my daughter.

She has since had a clearer idea of what she wants to do in the future and is currently applying for university and actively searching for jobs, which would have previously caused extreme panic. “

Brian

What clients have said.

“I would like to sincerely thank you for your help with my insomnia. Having spent the last few years waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep, it was taking its toll.

I was amazed at how you could get someone to relax and talk to their subconscious. Now I can sleep and get on with my life!”

Graham

What clients have said.

“My family are so pleased, we will need a group booking! Anxiety and depression are not for life…..life is for life.

If you have never experienced Hypnosis, don’t hesitate through fear or worry about the unknown, or preconceived opinions from the TV. From the first phone call to the last visit, Paul made me feel safe & secure.

Everything is explained, clear and non-judgmental. Thanks Paul.”

A.L.

What clients have said.

“I was asked to speak at an event and I was incredibly nervous.

Paul was very professional & put me at ease straight away, he explained what we were doing & why, for each part of the process.

Today I gave the presentation and I actually really enjoyed it!!

I would never have thought that before I saw Paul, as even thinking about a room of people made me feel physically sick.”

Laura

What clients have said.

“I found Paul to be professional and friendly. Paul made me feel comfortable and safe from our first meeting.

I no longer have a fear of heights! I drove in the off side lane & felt comfortable to look down over the edge. I’m well chuffed.”

“When I got off of the London Eye, I punched air in celebration and sent a text to Paul…..! I did it. I did the London eye. YAY!”

Mark

What clients have said.

“I can’t thank Paul enough for helping me with stress.

I have found the sessions brilliant and being able to use techniques in day-to-day life has helped so much.

It’s the first time in years I feel like I can deal with things.”

Hannah

What clients have said.

"I renewed my wedding vows in front of my friends & family & although I was very excited, I was also quite nervous planning such a big event with a lot to organise.

Paul worked wonders by boosting my confidence & freeing me from the nerves & the what-ifs. I loved my special day.

The Control System gives effective & lasting results and is quite simply amazing!”

Sue

What clients have said.

“For a number of years I had problems with de-cluttering brought on by grief. With his help I was able to realise that I had been seeing items as animate objects with feelings and worry that if I got rid of them I would lose the memories of that person, place or occasion.

I also had a fear of driving up hills & hill starts due to a problem on my driving test, now I drive without any anxiety!

With his help I was able to look at my life, take Control, & Change.”

Anna

What clients have said.

“I was a smoker for over 40 years. Paul treated me in July 2018 & I'm pleased to say that since then I have been a non smoker.

I owe a great debt to Paul as his methods are a great and refreshing way to stop smoking for good.

I would therefore urge anyone suffering with anxiety, phobias or addictions to seek the assistance of Paul without delay.”

Mark

What clients have said.

“Paul got me through my driving test!

I’d had previous sessions with him, so with some calls and texts before the date and on the morning, his support and motivation got me through.

I’m so thankful to Paul and will always appreciate his help and support, it’s so encouraging.”

Hypnotherapy for addiction - online or in-person?

Control and Change Hypnotherapy had been working for four years in the Medway Kent from three sites in Chatham, Gillingham and Rainham, when the pandemic hit. Although doing online appointments for addiction was possible, most were in-person.

During the pandemic addiction rates rose and clients came online from Rochester, Canterbury, Faversham, Whitstable, Sittingbourne, Gravesend, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, London, Brighton and overseas.

Since then, seeing a hypnotherapist and having hypnosis for addiction has been an interesting mix, 60/40 in favour of online. Quick, effective and permanent change, followed by ongoing support has turned the tide on the pain and disruption of addiction.
