Hypnotherapy for Addiction Support
A gentle, personalised approach to help you break free from unwanted habits and dependencies.
Understanding Addiction
Addiction isn’t just about willpower or making poor choices. It’s often a way the mind tries to cope with emotional pain, stress, or unresolved inner conflict.
Whether it’s:
Alcohol
Prescription or recreational drugs
Gambling
Pornography or sex
Food or binge eating
Digital or shopping addiction
…these behaviours often begin as a form of relief, and then take on a life of their own.
If you’ve found yourself trapped in a cycle of craving, shame, and frustration, you’re not alone. And you’re not broken. Hypnotherapy offers a respectful and supportive way to explore what’s behind the behaviour — and begin to change it.
How Hypnotherapy Helps with Addiction
Hypnotherapy works at the subconscious level, where many addictive patterns are stored. Instead of focusing purely on surface behaviours, we aim to resolve the emotional roots and triggers of the addiction.
Through hypnosis, you can:
Uncover what the addiction is trying to protect or soothe
Rewire old response patterns and habits
Build inner calm, clarity, and confidence
Strengthen self-control and decision-making
Reconnect with your goals, values, and sense of self
Hypnosis is not always a quick fix, but it can be a powerful tool in your recovery process when you're ready to make a change.
Who This Is For
This approach is suitable for people who:
Are struggling with a non-smoking addiction (If you wish to stop smoking click here)
Are ready to change, even if they’re unsure how
May be receiving support elsewhere but want to work at the subconscious level
Feel that their addictive behaviour is linked to anxiety, trauma, or emotional pain
Hypnotherapy works well as a complementary approach alongside counselling, GP support, or self-help groups — or as a stand-alone service for those seeking a more internal, personal method of change.
What Happens in a Session
Every session is confidential, non-judgmental, and tailored to your needs.
Here’s what to expect:
A calm, respectful conversation about your experience, goals, and concerns
Guided hypnosis to help you relax and access the deeper patterns driving the behaviour
Therapeutic suggestions or subconscious dialogue to support change
Tools and practices to help you stay on track between sessions
You remain in control at all times — hypnosis is simply a relaxed state, not mind control or sleep.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can hypnosis cure addiction?
A: Hypnotherapy is not a “cure” but a powerful support tool that can help change the emotional patterns and beliefs that drive addiction. Lasting change comes from within — hypnotherapy can help unlock that change.
Q: Is this suitable for substance addiction?
A: Yes, but it’s important that the addiction is medically stable. I don’t offer detox services, but I can work alongside medical or therapeutic support to help with emotional recovery, relapse prevention, and mindset change.
Q: Will I be out of control during hypnosis?
A: Not at all. You remain aware and in control. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused attention, like a deep daydream.
Q: Do I have to talk about past trauma?
A: No, we can address past traumas without describing them in detail or reexperiencing them.
