I wanted to tell you little of my background and how I got involved with hypnotherapy. While raising a young family I needed a different dimension to my life. I have always been fascinated by psychology and it’s applications. After numerous discussions, I was encouraged by a friend to do something about it and started studying for a degree in psychology. While I was training in psychology I took a job to work with special needs children in order to implement what I had already learnt. It was rewarding to see the difference you can achieve in someone's behaviour and also to see the wider impact of your work on a whole a family. During my studies I became aware of the different areas in psychology and arrived at a turning point, when I had to decide to specialize in something specific. I had a number of lectures on hypnosis and remembered having first hand, positive experiences. I decided to study clinical hypnotherapy to complement my degree in psychology and found an accredited course with the London College of Clinical Hypnosis.
After completing my diploma I decided to focus on hypnotherapy and to use my skills to benefit others. I constantly see positive and beneficial results in my patients, whether it is giving up smoking, dealing with anxiety, pain control and lack of confidence or just simply helping someone to relax and release stress. I am approachable and open. You will find I offer a safe and caring environment for whatever problems and issues you want to deal with.
Hypnotherapy means the use of hypnosis for the treatment and relief of a variety of psychosomatic and psychological symptoms. The therapy is carried out while the patient is under hypnosis. The best way to describe a hypnotic state is, as an altered state of consciousness. All hypnotic states are pleasant and relaxing, with a feeling of neither being asleep nor fully awake. This deep state of relaxation allows a patient to enjoy increased focus and self-awareness and make contact with the inner (unconscious) self that is the source of many of our problems as well as a tremendous reservoir of unrecognized potential strength and knowledge.
Hypnosis is a natural way of accessing our unconscious mind. Positive and beneficial suggesting can be delivered directly to the unconscious self, which promotes rapid change and long lasting benefits. Hypnotherapy is a completely natural and safe way to treat problems with no harmful side effects. Nobody can be hypnotized against their own will and when hypnotized, patients can come out of the trance at any time during a therapy session. It is estimated that 85% of people from all age groups would respond to clinical hypnotherapy.
Hypnotic or suggestive therapy is one of the oldest healing techniques and was used in ancient Greece and Rome and in the Sleep temples of Egypt. Some form of hypnosis has always been a part of all cultures. In 1955 hypnosis was given scientific status and the British Medical Association endorses the practice of hypnosis in Medical School education. Hypnotherapy is now widely recognized as an effective, powerful and safe way to bring about positive changes and has become a valuable addition to conventional medical treatment.
My aim is to help people realize the importance of taking some time out, to focus on themselves. The key to general well being is more complex than just taking care of the physical body, taking care of the mind is equally important. Hypnotherapy can offer a holistic approach to problem solving by creating a balance between body and mind. It can help to take control and create a positive mind-set.
I am aware of life's complexities, but I am also aware of the benefits of taking time and space for yourself. It can improve your quality of life and can help to bring about effective and positive changes. One of the main benefits of hypnotherapy is that patients are able to relax and release stress right at the very first session. During hypnotherapy the majority of work is carried out on a subconscious level, when the mind is more open to positive ideas and suggestions. The patient is not only more capable of finding the appropriate and rational way to resolve issues but increase their self-awareness and self-confidence. I have successfully helped clients overcome a range of issues from lack of confidence and weight control, to fears and phobias and giving up smoking. My clients are central and my approach ensures that each course of hypnotherapy is tailor made for the needs of each individual.

or know someone who does, you might want to read this. There are all sorts of advertisements for “stop smoking aids” and methods to quit smoking, but in my hypnotherapy practice, I have discovered things that you probably won’t read about anywhere else. Perhaps these are the secrets about smoking that will ultimately help you or that person you know who smokes actually quit.
Few people realize that Sigmund Freud’s first love was hypnosis. In 1887 Freud translated Bernheim’s On Suggestion and its Therapeutic Application into German. He also added a preface to this material and readily practiced hypnosis. Charcot was his inspiration and he made it apparent that he agreed with Charcot above all. Generally he endorsed the use of hypnotherapy in all of its’ forms and used it as his basis for the subconscious.
Generally, hypnosis tries to input ideas, suggestions, and priorities directly to the sub conscious mind. The same theories are used in subliminal suggestions. Many hypnotherapists involve several theories in their extinguishing process. For example, many non-smoking hypnosis sessions have had participants smoke many cigarettes back to back. The result was nicotine overload that typically ended in vomiting. The vomiting was then associated with the act of smoking a cigarette.
In addition, all participants are lead through a progression of relaxation exercises designed to leave the unconscious available for input. In that space messages are placed that are opposed to smoking. Such as, “smoking cigarettes is poison” or, “I don’t smoke because I value myself”. Often other suggestions such as alternatives to smoking are also incorporated.
In May of 2000, Ohio State University studied 59 separate studies to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in smoking cessation. The study found that it was effective compared to the control group and that it is most effective when paired with other therapies such as behavior modification. In fact, the best way to quit smoking is to combine several available therapies. In addition to hypnotherapy and behavior modification, nicotine substitutes such as nicotine gum and the nicotine patch have been shown helpful.
After the initial hypnotherapy session, follow up visits and home activities that reinforce the therapy are important. So hypnotherapists use audio tapes to facilitate home relaxation and hypnotherapy. Support groups are also used in conjunction with hypnotherapy and have been shown to be therapeutically beneficial. The most effective method will differ from person to person and that’s why it is important to find a qualified professional for help. When seeking hypnotherapy, consider the following:
• Ask for references! Check several references before you obtain the services of any professional.
• Interview the hypnotherapist. Most professionals will be happy to have a brief consultation and answer any questions. If they aren’t willing to do this, find another professional.
• Ask a medical professional who they would recommend. Many doctors and nurses have contacts with a variety of cessation programs and they typically give qualified recommendations.
• Contact an association of professionals. Consider the British Association of Therapeutical Hypnotists ,GHR, the British Society of Clinical, or the British Society of Medical & Dental Hypnosis.
• Make sure your provider offers a complete program. Ask about their suggested combination therapies to maximize your chances of quitting.
Many ask if everyone is capable of being hypnotized. The only requirements are that you be cooperative, have an IQ of 70 or above, and are free from any major mental health issues so most anyone can potentially benefit from hypnotherapy. As with any treatment your success depends on several variables but hypnosis can help you become smoke free once and for all.

Many people are turning to hypnosis to help them stop smoking. It seems that more and more people are becoming aware of the role of hypnosis in smoking cessation. Also, the costs of hypnosis are minimal when compared to the financial and health costs associated with a life-time of smoking.
With hypnotherapy, people are helped to stop smoking in one session. This is possible because all your smoking issues are dealt with in this session. Support is offered for 6 months following your session, which means that you can return for top up sessions.
This is what you can expect of a smoking cessation session with Hypnotherapy.
1. A full case history is taken and the therapist will gain an understanding of your smoking habits and how motivated you are. Hypnotherapy is not a magic pill, and relies on the motivation of the person wanting to stop smoking. The hypnotherapist is able to help you build your motivation to give you the best possible chance and this is part of your session. This will include, visualising your future as a non-smoker and the good health, increased energy and freedom you will achieve.
2. You will be empowered to eliminate your excuses for smoking, so that the risk of smoking in the future can be reduced. This involves addressing any concerns you have about becoming a non-smoker e.g. worries about weight gain or how you will cope with life stressors. New coping strategies are identified.
3. The stopping smoking session will include hypnosis techniques, positive affirmations and suggestions. This works at the unconscious level, and is aimed at re-programming old smoking habits and also dealing with psychological and emotional aspects of smoking. Sometimes aversion therapy is used during hypnosis, which simply aims to associate smoking with something horrible, so that you can find it disgusting in the future!
4.Testing – The therapist will test your desire to smoke towards the end of the session so that you and the therapist can feel confident that you no longer wish to smoke.
Quit smoking sessions are available with Marta Hill. The cost of a stop smoking sessions is insignificant to the cost of long term smoking and the damage to your health.
