Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness and Yoga. In Mallorca and online .
Many people don’t smoke because they want to.
They smoke because, over time, it has become an automatic response — to stress, emotions, routines or even moments of pause.
You may already know why you want to stop.
And yet, part of you still reaches for a cigarette.
This is where willpower alone often falls short.
Smoking is not just a habit of behaviour — it’s a learned pattern involving thoughts, emotions and the nervous system.
The good news is that learned patterns can be changed.
A Structured, Supportive Approach
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) together with Clinical Hypnotherapy, we work to:
✔ Reduce cravings
✔ Change automatic responses
✔ Build confidence in your ability to stop
✔ Support your nervous system through the change
Rather than fighting urges through force, we focus on helping your mind and body learn a new, calmer way of responding.
How We Work Together
1. Understanding Your Smoking Pattern
We begin by exploring:
When you smoke
What triggers it
What role it plays in your life
For many people, smoking is linked to:
Stress
Boredom
Social situations
Emotional regulation
Understanding your pattern helps us tailor the work to you.
2. Changing the Habit Loop
From early sessions onwards, CBT-informed strategies help you:
✔ Recognise triggers
✔ Interrupt automatic responses
✔ Build healthier coping alternatives
Clinical Hypnotherapy may be introduced to support deeper change — working with subconscious associations that keep the habit in place.
Hypnosis is always optional.
Many clients find the relaxed hypnotic state helpful in itself, allowing the nervous system to settle while reinforcing new responses such as calmness, control and indifference to cigarettes.
3. Building Lasting Freedom
The aim is not just to stop smoking temporarily — but to feel confident in your ability to remain smoke-free.
Clients often report:
✔ Reduced cravings
✔ Greater confidence
✔ A sense of control in situations that previously triggered smoking
For lasting change, I usually recommend a short series of sessions, allowing new responses to become familiar and automatic.
A Calm and Personal Process
There is no judgement.
No pressure.
Just structured, compassionate support grounded in evidence-based methods.

Areas I work with
Ready to stop smoking — but finding it difficult? (Smoking Cessation)
I quit smoking with hypnotherapy 14 years ago, and it genuinely changed my life. That personal experience is one of the reasons I do this work today — because I know how powerful the right support can be. Research consistently shows that hypnosis is one of the most effective ways to stop smoking. With hypnotherapy, you’re 5 times more likely to quit successfully than by relying on willpower alone. “Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little.” (New Scientist, vol. 36) My aim is simple: to help you become a healthy, relaxed, and confident non-smoker — often after just one session. If you’ve tried hypnotherapy before and returned to smoking, please don’t see that as failure. In my experience, it’s often a sign that you can quit — you just need the right approach, at the right time, with the right support. How we work together: 1. A free initial call We start with a no-obligation call to talk about your motivation, your current situation, and whether this is the right moment for you to quit. If you’re going through an extremely stressful period, I’ll be honest with you — sometimes it’s better to wait. 2. Personalised preparation If we decide to work together, we’ll schedule your session. About a week beforehand, I’ll ask you for some information so I can tailor the session specifically to you. You’ll also receive audio self-hypnosis recordings to help you prepare mentally and emotionally. I want you to be excited to become free of your habit. 3. Your hypnotherapy session The session lasts around three hours. It’s deep, thorough, and focused — but also supportive and often surprisingly enjoyable. 4. Practical tools for real life During the session, we’ll use several CBT-based exercises to help you manage cravings and change habits. I’ll record these exercises for you, so you can use them during the first few days if things feel challenging. 5. Ongoing support if you need it If you do struggle, you’re not on your own. I offer a free one-hour booster session to help you get back on track.
Stress affecting your digestion? (IBS)
If you live with IBS, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. Medications may offer temporary relief, and restrictive diets can be difficult to maintain long term — often without addressing the underlying issue. IBS is a disorder of the gut–brain interaction with contributions from brain, gut, immune system, and microbiota, yet its exact cause is still not fully understood. Diagnosis is usually made by ruling out other medical conditions, which can leave many people feeling uncertain or unsupported. Gut-directed hypnotherapy is a well-researched and effective approach for IBS. Studies have shown significant improvements in symptom severity, non-intestinal symptoms, quality of life, and levels of anxiety and depression following hypnotherapy. How we work together: 1. Medical clearance Before starting treatment, I require confirmation that you have been diagnosed with IBS and that your symptoms are not linked to a more serious condition. This usually involves a referral from your doctor for IBS-specific hypnotherapy. 2. Understanding your individual needs We begin with an in-depth conversation to explore your symptoms, triggers, and lifestyle, allowing me to tailor the treatment to your specific situation. 3. A structured treatment programme Effective IBS hypnotherapy requires consistency. We’ll work together over six to 12 sessions, spread across a minimum of six weeks and up to 24 weeks. I typically recommend starting with weekly two-hour sessions to build momentum and create meaningful change. As treatment progresses, we then move to one-hour sessions every two weeks, giving you time to integrate what you’re learning into everyday life. 4. Support between and after sessions All sessions are recorded so you can continue practising at home and reinforce the work we’ve done together. After the programme has finished, we’ll stay in touch so I can monitor your progress. Some clients choose to book additionally a qualified nutritionist. This allows IBS to be addressed from different, complementary angles, ensuring you receive well-rounded, appropriate care alongside hypnotherapy.
Constant worry, tension or avoiding certain situations? (Support for anxiety, stress and phobias)
“Some of the worst things in my life never happened.” — Mark Twain Anxiety has a way of convincing us that something bad is about to happen — even when there’s no real danger. Over time, this constant state of alert can become exhausting, affecting your confidence, sleep, and enjoyment of everyday life. Phobias are also incredibly common. Whether it’s flying, driving, public speaking, medical procedures, or specific situations, they can feel overwhelming — yet the good news is that phobias are among the most treatable anxiety conditions, and many people experience significant relief in a relatively short time. The British Medical Journal recommends CBT and applied relaxation techniques as two of the most effective treatments for anxiety. When these approaches are combined with clinical hypnotherapy, the results can be even more powerful — helping both the mind and body learn a calmer, more confident response. For many people, anxiety develops as a learned response over time. With the right tools and support, it’s possible to gently retrain these responses and feel more at ease in everyday life. How we work together: 1. Understanding you and your experience We begin with a conversation. This gives you space to explain how anxiety, stress, or phobias show up in your life, and allows me to understand what you’re dealing with and how best to support you. 2. Therapeutic tools, and hypnotherapy: From the second session onwards, we usually introduce CBT-informed techniques to help you develop practical coping skills and new ways of responding to anxiety. As the work progresses, hypnotherapy may be introduced where appropriate and only if it feels like the right fit for you. Hypnosis is never an obligation. Many people with anxiety find the deeply relaxed hypnotic state calming and restorative in itself — even without specific suggestions — as it allows the nervous system to settle and step out of constant alert. When used, hypnotherapy is combined with relaxation, visualisation, and confidence-building techniques to support a greater sense of ease, safety, and control in situations that previously felt triggering. 3. Lasting change, not just short-term relief: As well as easing anxiety in specific situations, most clients notice a general reduction in overall anxiety levels and physical tension. Many people feel a clear difference after the first session. To ensure these changes last, I usually recommend at least four to six sessions. This gives you the time and confidence to practise and integrate what you’ve learned, so your calmer response becomes automatic — not just a temporary fix.
Stuck in habits you wish you could change?
Unhelpful behavioural patterns can show up in many ways, including emotional or compulsive eating, drinking more than you’d like, nail-biting, or other habits that feel difficult to change. These behaviours often develop as coping responses to stress or emotional challenges and are not a sign of weakness or lack of willpower. Cognitive- Behavioral-Hypnotherapy can be a supportive approach to habit change by helping you develop greater awareness, self-regulation, and more helpful patterns of thinking and responding. My work focuses on supporting you to move away from limiting self-labels and towards a healthier, more empowered relationship with yourself and your choices. The aim is not to define you by a habit, but to support sustainable change that fits your life and values. How we work together: 1. Initial assessment and goal setting We begin with a detailed conversation to explore your current situation, goals, and any relevant background. This allows me to assess whether hypnotherapy is appropriate for you and to tailor a programme to your individual needs. 2. A structured, time-limited programme For many behavioural habits, hypnotherapy is most effective when delivered over four to six sessions, depending on the nature and complexity of the issue. Sessions focus on building self-awareness, strengthening motivation, and developing healthier responses to triggers. 3. Ethical scope of practice and collaboration Hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical or specialist addiction treatment. Where a habit is assessed as severe or where additional support is required, I work in collaboration with specialised clinics and support programmes. You don’t have to do this alone — together, change is possible. 4. Relapse-prevention and self-support tools As part of the programme, I share practical strategies to support ongoing change, including techniques to manage cravings, reduce emotional triggers, and strengthen self-confidence. These tools are designed to help you maintain progress and respond more effectively if challenges arise.
Struggling with self-doubt?
Low self-esteem and ongoing lack of confidence can quietly affect many areas of life — from your mental wellbeing to relationships, work, study, and how you experience yourself day to day. Over time, this inner struggle can make even small challenges feel overwhelming. Hypnotherapy, alongside evidence-informed approaches such as mindfulness and cognitive techniques, can be a gentle and effective way to explore where low confidence comes from and how it’s being maintained. How we work together: 1. Understanding your experience We begin with a conversation about how low confidence shows up for you and what you feel may have contributed to it. This helps create a clear and compassionate starting point for our work. 2. Exploring patterns and beliefs During our sessions, I use a combination of mindfulness, CBT-informed techniques, and clinical hypnosis to help you become aware of unhelpful thought patterns and deeply held beliefs that may be limiting your confidence. 3. Supporting lasting change Together, we work on developing greater self-acceptance, emotional ease, and a more supportive inner dialogue. The aim is to help you move through life with increased self-trust, resilience, and courage — in a way that feels authentic to you. 4. A pace that fits you Many people notice some positive shift after the first session. Depending on your individual needs and goals, I usually recommend between three and six sessions to support meaningful and lasting change.
