Who should attend?

Are you interested in helping people to stop smoking? We’ve been teaching therapists how to do smoking cessation for over 14 years now and our smoking cessation 2-day masterclass has developed a reputation for excellence, due in part to the emphasis we place on simple, no-nonsense, evidence-based approaches derived from the mainstream clinical and research literature in the fields of CBT and hypnotherapy.

Each year the course is refined and developed. This course is open to all qualified hypnotherapists and hypnotherapy students in training.

Why attend?

Every student receives a comprehensive and carefully-developed 100-page course manual, with detailed information on smoking cessation gleaned from the clinical research and our many years of successful clinical practice and experience training in this area. You will also receive a certificate of attendance; our previous students tell us that stating on your website that you have completed an advanced specialist training in smoking cessation, in addition to your core practitioner training, is bound to attract more clients who want to quit smoking. You will also be eligible for registration with the General Hypnotherapy Register’s Central Register of Stop Smoking Therapists (CRSST).

Highlights of the Smoking Cessation CPD workshop include:

• Smoking Cessation Assessment  (e.g. measuring nicotine dependency, “habit strength”, etc)
• The CBH “conceptualisation” (the vicious circle of smoking)
• How to plan the session (treatment planning)
• A big “toolbox” of evidence-based techniques
• Scripts, forms, handouts and much more
• Key information that optimises results (e.g. which is the best day of the week for smokers to quit!)
• Secrets for delivering effective 2 hour stop smoking cessation session
• Tips, guidelines, techniques and approaches that you can apply to general habit change, reducing alcohol intake, addictions etc.
• Guidance on launching and marketing your service
• Access to the Smoking Cessation Online Resources (full videos of the workshop you can view again, forms, scripts and additional articles)

Our course is affiliated with the CRSST

The Central Register of Stop Smoking Therapists is an official directory which operates as a resource for those who are seeking to liberate themselves from the smoking habit by non-pharmaceutical methods.

All practitioners listed within the Register have provided suitable evidence of their ability within the area of smoking cessation.
