Most habits and addictions start as clever solutions – to stress, pain, boredom, loneliness or overwhelm. Over time, the solution becomes its own problem.
We use hypnotherapy to work with the triggers, urges and beliefs underneath your pattern, so change becomes more than just white-knuckling it.
Stuck in a Pattern You Can’t Think Your Way Out Of?
Smoking or vaping more than you want to admit
Drinking to take the edge off and finding the “off switch” hard
Gambling, gaming, porn or scrolling that eats time, money, sleep or relationships
Sugar, takeaway or caffeine as your main coping tools
Repeating “I’ll stop after this weekend” and hating that loop
How hypnosis helps?
1. Mapping triggers and choice points
We slow down the sequence between trigger and behaviour, so you can see where real choices exist.
2. Reducing urge intensity
Hypnosis helps you experience urges as waves you can ride, not orders you must obey, giving you more room to choose a different response.
3. Strengthening the part of you that wants change
We work directly with the part that’s tired of this pattern, so it has more weight than the part chasing short-term relief.
4. Rehearsing new responses
We mentally practise you moving through high-risk situations (end of the workday, weekends, certain people or places) making different choices.
What Might Change for You?
Fewer “automatic” episodes of the behaviour
Shorter, less overwhelming urges
More days that line up with your intentions
Less shame and self-loathing around the pattern
Stronger sense that change is possible – and actually happening

Research
Though majority of research is done in addictions, same principles apply when it comes to overcoming habits or patterns, which are in many ways similar to addictions.
It is possible to harness the power of the mind using Hypnotherapy as a potential treatment for substance use, and other mental health issues.
Hypnosis was once a viable treatment approach for addictions. Then, due to hypnosis being used for entertainment purposes many professionals lost confidence in it. However, it has now started to make a comeback in the treatment of substance abuse. Using hypnosis for treatment, from studies effectively treating alcoholism by using intensive daily sessions. The treatment has been used with 18 clients over the last 7 years and has shown a 77 percent success rate for at least a 1-year follow-up
Scientific studies suggest that hypnotherapy is a powerful promoter of mental and behavioural change that can help clients experiencing out-of-control substance usage, dependency and addiction move towards sobriety and recovery by assisting emotional and behavioural change (O'Keeffe, 2020; O'Keeffe, 2017)
Hypnosis enhances motivation to conquer addiction by transforming the psychological factors that fuel substance abuse Conifer Park.
In the context of addiction recovery, hypnosis serves as a tool that may ease emotional distress and even alter a patient's sensory perception of pain NCBI.
The American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association both approved hypnosis as a treatment for addictions in the middle of the 20th century.
All patients (100%) completely stopped use of any street drugs and results remained stable for 6 months after end of treatment.
Another study found that combining hypnosis and traditional treatment was more effective at helping people stop smoking than traditional methods alone.
A case study showed that hypnosis was used to help a patient overcome her chronic cocaine addiction. Following 4 months of hypnosis, this patient ceased use of all drugs, where previously she had used cocaine on a daily basis.Studies suggest that hypnosis can be a powerful tool when it comes to treating substance and alcohol use disorders.
Hypnosis is being used with great success in addiction treatment. There are quite a few studies that confirm its effectiveness in this setting. One study called “Group Hypnosis of Drug Addicts”. Of the study participants who receive hypnotherapy, 90 percent completed treatment. Within six months, 100 percent of those were still off of drugs and 78 percent remained abstinent at the two-year mark.
