My name is Liz Vincent and I am an experienced Hypnotherapist and Theta Healer as well as being trained in many other healing modalities. My business is a thriving hypnotherapy / healing practice in London Harley St and in Central Bristol where I work with phobias, grief, abuse, trauma etc. Recently I travelled to Southern Ireland and used these methods working with a GP in his general surgery practice.

It was whilst I was Ireland that I began to realise what a problem smoking really is and how many smoking related diseases there actually are. Most of all how very difficult it is to quit smoking once you become addicted. Yes, I had tried smoking a few cigarettes when I was a teenager but since I didn't know how to inhale I didn't ever become addicted. Now I fully admit that until I worked with people who were terminally ill all because of smoking I didn't truly understand what a very real and frightening thing it is to be unable to give up smoking cigarettes.

I was seeing people with lung cancer, heart failure, emphysema and even loss of limbs just to name a few! All of this is shocking, horrifying and very frightening for the person suffering from the illness, and also for those who have to witness the ravaged effects smoking has on the human body. This made me determined to find a better way to help people to stop smoking. Once they stopped smoking their lives could be completely changed for the better. Perhaps it would be too late for some, but by working with people before it got to be too late, hope and confidence could be created.

I wanted to go beyond the standard hypnotherapy method for stopping smoking. As a Theta practitioner I was well aware that the belief systems held in our subconscious mind can affect how we feel about things and as a healer I was well aware that often we have negative energies and thought forms that hang around us. Therefore to give the people I was working with a far better chance of giving up smoking completely. I wondered what would happen if I combined all three together.

It worked and has continued to work with the patients I saw! They were determined to give up smoking and I only helped them to do it!

However this is also about commitment on the part of the person who wishes to stop smoking. These people asked me for my help and I did everything I could to help them. They in turn were prepared to make the solid commitment to themselves that they were really serious about this and truly wanted to stop.

How Does this work?

When a person phones me up to book an appointment to stop smoking I ask them for a £60 deposit. The reason for the deposit is because I am asking them to make a commitment to themselves from the moment the appointment is made; the total cost of the one session treatment is £270 in London and £198 in Bristol. (London Harley Street overheads are higher).The balance is paid during the appointment by cash, credit or debit card. If the person doesn't show up for the appointment they lose their deposit. This is all about making a determined effort and sticking to it. Before coming to see me I ask the person to keep a smoking diary for 15 days or more. This is really just a quick word or two about every cigarette they smoke.

The appointment lasts 90 minutes. During this time we release any negative energies, change the beliefs about smoking that are held in the person's subconscious mind with Theta healing and use hypnosis to show the difference between what life is like with smoking and what it is like without it.

A folder and a CD are given to the client to take away after the session.

Theta Healing is totally non invasive therapy, the practitioner does the work. A person is usually completely unaware of the smoking programmes he/she is holding in their subconscious mind. However it can easily be demonstrated so that particular belief can then be eradicated once and for all.
