Does hypnotherapy really work for quitting smoking or weight loss?

Yes, hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for changing habits like smoking or emotional eating, but it isn’t magic. What makes it effective is how it helps you access the part of your mind that runs automatic behaviour, the same part that drives cravings, routines, and self-talk.

Rather than relying on willpower alone, hypnosis works by reshaping the subconscious patterns behind those habits. For smoking, that might mean detaching the behaviour from stress or social triggers. For weight management, it can help reset emotional responses around food, motivation, or body image.

Success depends on your readiness to change and your consistency between sessions. My role is to guide that process, reinforce new associations, and give you practical strategies that make the change stick.

You can learn more about how I use hypnosis for behaviour change on the Hypnotherapy page, or explore the KickStart programme if you’d like to combine mindset work with structured fitness coaching.
