I’ve been a smoker – or should I say ‘was’ a smoker – since the age of 15 and I’m now 68. I had given up smoking on two or three occasions for up for three years but unfortunately had always gone back to them. But I’m determined for health reasons and cost, of course, to stick with it.

Well, what can I say – it’s worked! I haven’t touched a cigarettes since and it’s been nearly six weeks now. So I’m really, really pleased. The fact that it was all done via video link – I wasn’t sure actually sure if it was going to work as I thought you’d have to be in the room together. But no, it worked! And I’m living proof of it, so thank you very much, Leo!

I originally wanted to quit because it wasn’t doing me any good. It was just making me poorly, out of breath – being dependent on a cigarette and the cost, of course involved. So quitting was the only option, there was no other route. I tried everything else – I tried reducing the intake etc. but it just wasn’t working so I had to take the bullet and that’s why I contacted Leo – I thought ‘I’ve got to try this because I can’t go on like I’m going on’.

I felt very relaxed after the session, actually – very relaxed! I didn’t feel any urge to have a cigarette. I had cigarettes in the house, so I could have easily gone to one but do you know what? I didn’t want one. I didn’t think about it too much. I didn’t really think it would work if I’m honest with you. the cigarettes were there but I didn’t touch them and I didn’t want to touch them.

I would 100% reccomend Leo, I really would. It’s the best thing that I ever did! I just wish I knew about him sooner. I like the way he talks to you, he’s on the same level as you, he doesn’t try and dictate to you. He listens to you, and that’s the most important thing – he listens to your needs and picks up on what you need. It makes it personal, it makes it feel like he’s 100% behind you. He doesn’t judge you, there’s none of that – he just wants to help you. I definitely think he’s found his niche in life and I would definitely, 100% reccomend him.

I’m definitely pleased with how it all went. The process was really simple, I did my session online so it was convenient for me and all happened within a matter of days.

It’s nice to now look at people and think that’s something they do, and something that I don’t! And it’s nice to have something more than just willpower.

I’d be smoking since I was about 14, which is over 25 years! The more I think about it, the more I think I did it as a social smoker but then eventually everything became about cigarettes: for boredom, hunger…it just became the norm.

I had managed to stop for a few years after I had my daughter but I went back to smoking, but it just wasn’t something enjoying and I felt that it was time now to make a strong commitment and say ‘stop’.

Initially after the hypnotherapy session I felt much, much lighter – my limbs were very light and I felt tired, definitely really fatigued which I was surprised about! But there was a real joyous feeling to think that ‘I’m a non-smoker!’

I definitely think you should give hypnotherapy with Leo a chance! For me, I think the thought of how smoking programs you to get in to your life is something that you really need to give consideration to and that’s something that this whole process helps you to do!

I’m really happy to be leaving this video and to say that I am now a non-smoker, which is the best news that I can share really from this experience. I’m so so happy with the process and with the support that was given. And I’m just really amazed at how simple the call was and the hypnosis was and how understanding Leo was, as well as firm, in his direction to reprogram parts of me that really felt that smoking was a good thing. So just so, so grateful for the experience that I have been through and that I’m now a non-smoker!

My journey of smoking had been on and off really, for the last 24 years – I started smoking when I was about 16, and it’s been one of my biggest challenges. I’m not a drinker and I don’t have many other vices but nicotine has been a struggle for me. I had given up on and off over the 24 year period but this time I feel that ‘this is it’ – I feel like I will not be going back to smoking again. I just feel like that desire has been completely released from my subconscious and my system.

I initially sought out support with giving up smoking because I have some surgery coming up and I needed to be nicotine free in order to get the best results. So that was my initial reason for seeking out help. I had stopped smoking in 2020 and then it had come back in when I moved my family across the country, so always in the back of my head it was something that I knew I needed to shift again but it was my need to give up smoking, to shift nicotine for my surgery that prompted me to look for some help.

The online booking system was so easy: Leo’s website is so clear and concise and user-friendly and I just found it so easy, the choosing a time, the communication with Leo was so easy, filling in the forms etc. It was just all laid out easily, I’m so grateful.

After the hypnotherapy session I found the first two weeks really challenging. It involved a lot of strength and a lot of will power to deal with the emotions that came up for me personally. I know that for me nicotine is a suppression of some emotions from my past, so it was  call to me to be strong and to deal with some of the stuff that was coming up. But in terms of desiring to smoke, I didn’t really have much of that at all. There were moments but they passed really quickly. So I feel good now! It’s taken a couple of weeks to get to this place, but I felt really good after I had dealt with some of the stuff that came up from being a non-smoker.

For anybody that is looking to stop smoking and has tried before and may have struggled, I really, really reccomend Leo and the service that he provides. It honestly does work, it works! I’m a non-smoker, I’m so grateful. He’s an amazing practitioner, and I couldn’t reccomend him more. So if you want to be free of smoking then go for it, do it! You won’t regret it!

I chose hypnotherapy with Leo after talking to him on the phone and getting a feel of his personality. He was open, friendly, and non-judgmental. I had been smoking since University and it got to the point where I felt totally disgusted with myself, desiring to stop, yet totally in the grip of nicotine.

I did not realise that I had many beliefs and patterns of behaviour associated with smoking – such as procrastination, but this is something I explored with Leo, and extinguished. The sessions felt tailored and thoughtful. I felt like Leo was really listening to the things I was saying.

The hypnotherapy itself felt like an honest conversation with myself, facilitated by Leo. it sounds hocus-pocusy but I was able to connect with my subconscious and process my beliefs, thoughts, and emotions in relation to smoking. It was a lot more than just a physical addiction for me.

The process made me realise I was not in the grip of nicotine, and I could easily reject this habit. The process was transformational, and after two sessions, I had no desire to smoke. Sure, the first three days of withdrawal were tough, but after then, any thought of nicotine, I could identify, and easily reject.

In comparison to going cold turkey in the past, this was a lot easier. There was a lot less irritation. It just felt like something good I was doing for myself. I was not overwhelmed by thoughts to smoke. I was fully in control.

Now, I have a much healthier relationship with myself and smoking. After 2 months being ciggy free, I have absolutely no desire to smoke. Not a single thought it urge pops into my head. I can confidently say I will never touch another ciggy ever again.

Thank you Leo.
