Habits, cravings and addictions, one to one over Zoom
Get back in charge of the habit that’s costing you
Promised yourself it would be the last one, then found yourself doing it again? That isn’t weakness. Most habits stick because they do a job for you, whether that’s a break, a reward or a way to switch off at the end of the day. Hypnotherapy helps you change how you respond when the urge hits. You still put in the effort, but you’re no longer fighting yourself every time.
Many people find the pull gets weaker, and the choice starts to feel like theirs again.

When a habit starts to cost you
It might be the money that goes on vapes, takeaways or online baskets. The hours lost to a screen. The cough, the sugar crash or the slow start to the morning. Or the people around you noticing before you're ready to say it yourself.
Underneath, it's often more tiring than that. You promise yourself you'll stop, you do well for a few days, and then it's back. That can leave you quietly frustrated with yourself, or embarrassed that something so small has so much pull.
You shouldn't have to argue with yourself every evening just to get through it. Most habits don't fade on their own, and left alone it's usually another month, then another year, of the same Monday promise.
Two kinds of help
Habits and cravings
Smoking and vaping, sugar, video games, social media, shopping, and an ex you can't stop thinking about. This is the work I do directly. Hypnotherapy helps change how you respond when the urge hits. You still put in the effort, but you're no longer fighting yourself every time.

When you need medical care first
Alcohol or drug dependence, gambling that has taken hold, and compulsive behaviour around sex, porn or cosmetic surgery need proper medical and specialist support. Each of these pages tells you where to find free, confidential help in the UK. Hypnotherapy can sit alongside that care, never in place of it.

See all 72 guides, from vaping and doom scrolling to crack cocaine and gambling. Each one has its own check.
What can change
- A break at work that doesn't need a cigarette or a vape.
- An evening where the phone goes down and you actually switch off.
- Walking past the shop without the argument in your head.
- Money staying in your account instead of going on the habit.
- Feeling that the choice is yours again.
Everyone is different, and results vary from person to person. Hypnotherapy works alongside your own effort, and alongside medical care where you need it.
In their own words
Adam helped me change my relationship with alcohol that I’d been struggling with for over 10 years. I heard him on Spotify but working with him in person is what made the difference!
I’ve tried many other “hypnosis” recordings over the years with no success and The Hypnotist actually works. I’ve even recommended him to others. Thank you!
Love this and have found it really works at reducing my cravings

Someone who understands why habits stick
If you've tried to stop on willpower alone and ended up back where you started, that isn't a character flaw. Habits are built to run without you having to decide, which is exactly why they're so hard to argue with.
Most habits stick because they do a job. A cigarette gives you a break, a drink switches off the day, a scroll fills a quiet moment. In our sessions we work out what the habit is doing for you, then use hypnotherapy and NLP to build a different response that does the same job without the cost.
I've spent 17 years in clinical practice. I have a degree in psychology, and a Postgraduate Certificate and Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, both with Distinction, from the London College of Clinical Hypnosis and the University of West London. That makes me one of the few hypnotherapists in the UK with post-graduate qualifications in clinical hypnotherapy. I also host The Hypnotist podcast, which has passed 20 million downloads and is in the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide.
Sessions are one to one over Zoom, so you can work with me wherever you live. You get a studio-quality recording of the hypnosis to keep listening to between sessions.
