Confidence

There is hope beyond smoking and drinking, and that hope starts here.

If you’re caught in a cycle of cravings, relapse, and frustration, you’re not alone. Many people struggle with nicotine dependence or the effects of alcohol overuse, even after trying multiple approaches to quit. But change is possible — and lasting freedom is within reach.

Ask yourself:

Do constant cravings take over your day-to-day life?
Are you tired of the stop-start cycle of trying to quit?
Is smoking or drinking affecting your relationships, health, or work?
Do you feel stuck in a habit you no longer want?
Are you searching for something that works — something beyond willpower and nicotine replacement therapy, such as patches and gum?

Our hypnotherapy for smoking and alcohol support sessions are designed to help you move beyond addiction and into a smoke-free life. We offer both in-person and online services, providing you with flexible access to tools that work at a deeper level. With compassion, strategy and ongoing support, we’re here to help you create real change.

Areas of expertise

Our therapy is shaped around your experience, offering practical and emotional support as you work through the patterns behind smoking, drinking or other addictive behaviours. We focus on long-term change by addressing not just the habit, but the mindset that drives it.

Smoking

Smoking cessation is more than just quitting. It’s about rewiring the mental and emotional patterns that lead you back to cigarettes. Our sessions help you manage nicotine withdrawal, reduce anxiety, and respond differently to common smoking triggers such as stress, boredom, or social pressure. Through deep relaxation and proven methods, we help you break the cycle and build a smoke-free future with confidence.

Alcohol

If you’re drinking to cope with stress, numb emotions, or unwind at the end of the day, we help you explore what’s beneath the habit. Our sessions support you in managing urges, lowering anxiety and building more helpful responses to emotional triggers. We don’t focus on shame or blame — just practical, mind-based strategies to create lasting change.

Other addictions

From screen time and food to unhealthy routines, many addictive behaviours are driven by deeper emotional needs. We help you identify the beliefs and patterns behind these habits and replace them with healthier responses. Using hypnotherapy, coaching and deep relaxation techniques, we guide you toward more balanced behaviour, one step at a time — with tools you can use well beyond the sessions.

Don't let a smoking or drinking addiction steal your tomorrow. Let's begin to loosen its hold on you today.

The process

Therapy process for overcoming addictions to smoking & drinking

Quitting cigarettes and changing long-standing habits takes more than willpower — it takes the right support, mindset and method. Our process is designed to help you break free from deadly habits like smoking and excessive drinking, which remain among the leading causes of preventable illness.Here’s what a typical session looks like at ICH Mind:

A safe space to start

You’ll be welcomed into a calm, private, and judgment-free environment. We begin with a relaxed conversation to understand your history, your goals, and what has led you here. It’s a space where you’re free to ask questions and speak openly — no pressure, no rush.

Personalised therapy and support

Once you're comfortable, we guide you through a gentle, proven process using hypnotherapy and NLP techniques. Most clients experience a noticeable shift, even in the first session. It’s safe, effective, and often surprisingly enjoyable.

A path forward that suits you

At the end of the session, we check in with how you’re feeling and discuss next steps. Some clients choose to continue weekly, while others space sessions out. To quit cigarettes or shift entrenched behaviours, most benefit from 3 to 6 sessions — but there's no pressure or lock-in commitment.

We are accredited by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and the Mind Academy as Certified Practitioners. These organisations set the industry standards for hypnotherapy, ensuring practitioners are accountable for safe and ethical practices. With ICH Mind, you can be confident you are in the best hands.
