About Us

One of the country's leading Stop Smoking Centre's based in Croydon,
South London, Surrey

The South London and Surrey Stop Smoking Centre was founded to provide a proven, effective stop smoking service for people in South London, Croydon and surrounding areas.

Hypnotherapy has been repeatedly shown to be the most effective means of quitting smoking with higher success rate than nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or counselling services. However, the success rate varies greatly amongst individual therapists, ranging from 30%-40% at the low end to claims of 97%-99% at the high end. Whilst still much higher than NRT with success rates around 6%-10%, it is difficult for individuals to know which hypnotherapists are the most effective and whether claims are genuine or hyped for marketing purposes.

We wanted to develop a very reliable and effective stop smoking programme and to do this we painstakingly researched all the most successful methods and programmes we could find.

The results speak for themselves and now we are pleased to offer one of the most thorough, groundbreaking and effective stop smoking programmes anywhere in the UK.

We are committed to your success in giving up smoking. If you are equally committed and determined to stop smoking, we are sure that we can help.

Why wait? - This could be your best ever chance to
give up smoking

The South London and Surrey Stop Smoking Centre is part of the Clinical and Medical Hypnotherapy Centre provides a very modern and professional service using state of the art equipment and techniques. Although we do use traditional hypnotherapy techniques such as imagery, suggestion and regression this is only part of what we offer.

Our approach is very thorough and we take time to understand each client in order to tailor a comprehensive and effective treatment plan. We are committed to obtaining results in the fastest time possible but also to ensuring complete and permanent change.

We use a unique blend of advanced hypnotherapy together with other psychological interventions including Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Psychological Coaching.

Partnership between client and practitioner

We work closely with clients (and where appropriate their doctor or medical consultant) to jointly create and effective course of therapy. We believe it is important that clients takes responsibility for their condition and work with hypnotherapists’ and medical advisers to alleviate their condition.

We therefore involve clients in the creation of a treatment plan and provide them with exercises and tools for use in between sessions and for after the formal therapy has been completed.

Working with doctors and medical consultants

Due to the nature of much of the work we undertake we are used to working in partnership with our client’s medical advisors. Our services are not designed to replace any traditional medical procedures

It is often possible to change medical treatment or prescriptions after successful hypnotherapy, however, this must always be done under the supervision and recommendation of the clients doctor or medical consultant.

We can not guarantee to cure any ailment or condition but will do our utmost to help clients alleviate symptoms and cope with the psychological effects of their condition.
