BREAKING Free From Addiction

Hypnotherapy for Addiction

You've promised yourself this is the last time. Maybe more than once. You keep going back to it, even though it's costing you sleep, money, trust and the things you used to love. Maybe you're hiding it from the people closest to you, or feeling sick and shaky every time you try to stop.



That isn't weakness or a flaw in your character. It's a pattern your mind has learned to lean on, and patterns can change. Hypnotherapy for addiction works on what sits underneath the behaviour, so you're not relying on willpower alone.


I know this from the inside. I used to be addicted to meth, and my own addiction recovery came from the same mix of hypnosis and psychotherapy I now use with the people I see. There's no judgement here, just someone who understands.

What makes my program unique?

My program is different because I've been in your shoes. I know what it's like to want to stop and not be able to. I know the shame, the secrecy and the late-night promises that don't hold by the next afternoon. When you talk to me, you're talking to someone who has been there.


People come to me for many kinds of addiction, including:

  • Drug addiction
  • Gambling addiction
  • Food addiction
  • Video games or internet addiction
  • Sex addiction
  • Work addiction
  • Alcohol addiction
  • Smoking addiction

The program uses the same approach I used to quit my meth addiction: clinical hypnosis combined with psychotherapy. It works at the subconscious level, where habits, beliefs and automatic responses live. That's why addiction is so hard to shift by willpower alone, and it's also where real change can start.

Together, we'll work on:

  • Understanding what your addiction is doing for you
  • Getting to the underlying causes, not just the behaviour
  • Building a reason to change that feels like your own
  • Easing cravings and urges when they hit
  • Finding healthier ways to cope with stress and hard feelings

I won't pretend it's easy, and I can't promise a set outcome. What I can promise is that you won't be doing this alone, and you won't be judged for where you're starting from.

  • A generous referral program

BENEFITS OF HYPNOTHERAPY FOR ADDICTION

Everyone is different, but these are the changes people often notice as the work starts to take hold.


  • Experience relief and relaxation

    When was the last time you felt properly calm without needing something to get you there? During hypnosis you stay fully aware, but your mind and body settle into a deep, quiet calm. From that calmer place, it becomes easier to face the stress and triggers that push you towards substance abuse, and to get through the hard days of withdrawal without being dragged back.

  • Ease intense cravings

    Cravings can feel like they run your whole day. Clinical hypnotherapy helps you manage those cravings and turn down their volume, be it alcohol, cigarettes, gambling or drugs pulling at you. Over time, you get a sense of control back, and a calmer relationship with the substance or behaviour.

  • Open up to positive suggestions

    Part of you already wants something different. In hypnosis, your mind is more open to positive suggestions, which helps new thought patterns and habits take root. It's less about forcing yourself to change and more about the change starting to feel natural.

  • Get support for anxiety and low mood too

    Addiction rarely travels alone. Many people find anxiety, low mood or old pain sitting underneath their substance abuse. Hypnotherapy works with those underlying issues as well as the addiction itself, because easing one often makes the other easier to face.

  • Sleep better

    Lying awake, wired or restless, is common when you're living with addiction or trying to stop. Hypnotherapy helps your mind and body relax more easily at night, and as the issues driving your addiction settle, many people find their sleep starts to settle too.

  • Rebuild your self-worth

    Addiction can wear down how you see yourself until you stop believing you deserve better. Working with the subconscious mind helps rebuild your self-esteem from the ground up, so you can face life's challenges with a quieter, steadier confidence.

  • Reconnect with the people you love

    Addiction strains relationships. There may be broken trust, hard conversations, or people you've pulled away from. As clinical hypnotherapy helps you let go of old hurt and resentment, you can show up differently for the people in your life and start rebuilding the connections that support your recovery.
