Our smoking cessation treatment takes just one session of approximately ninety minutes, and uses a unique combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnosis which is why our success rates are exceedingly high.
Since 1994, we have successfully assisted over 1000 people to stop smoking in the Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset area.
The benefits of stopping smoking
Within minutes…blood pressure and pulse decreases. Our hearts benefit and in the long term so do our arteries
Within hours…the oxygen that our blood can carry returns to near normal
Within a day or so…the lungs start to get rid of the mucus as well as soot. Food starts to taste better (meaning you can be satisfied with less) and you gain more energy
Within a few months…lungs will perform better, chest problems should improve or disappear
Within a few years…you are half as likely to have a heart attack
"Its time to stop"
Extract from a report by Kevin Nash, Bournemouth Daily Echo Wednesday March 9, 2005
Annette Holmes from Poole, managed to quit following a single visit to a hypnotherapist.
She said: “I first started smoking, like most smokers, with some friends at school. By the time I was 17 had a 20-a-day habit.
“I had sort of accepted the fact that I was a smoker. What’s more, I enjoyed smoking.”
“Over the past year, though, my perception has changed and in the New Year I decided it was time for me to give up.
“There was one attempt using patches, but I only lasted 16 hours and I knew that patches weren’t for me.
“Then at the doctors, I saw a leaflet for the Dolphin Hypnotherapy Practice, it promised that after one session I would be a non smoker and it would take all of the craving away. Could it really be that simple?
“I was scared of giving up. To me it was like losing an old friend. But I took a deep breath, rang Dolphin Hypnotherapy and spoke to Trevor Roberts. He told me I would feel really relaxed and wake up a non-smoker. That sounded excellent, but maybe too good to be true?
“Before leaving for my session, I made sure all the ashtrays were cleaned and put away. I was really hopeful it would work. The session itself lasted for about two hours – and amazingly, it worked!
“I have now not smoked for 10 days, which for me is amazing. It is the longest I have gone without a cigarette since the age of 14. I feel I have the strength to continue, and it gets easier with time, I feel fine. After 18 years I’m now a non-smoker.”
