Addiction is more than a habit — it’s a complex interplay of emotional pain, neurological wiring, and subconscious patterns. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, gambling, or compulsive behaviours, hypnotherapy offers a powerful way to address the root causes and support lasting change.
In hypnosis, we work with the subconscious to reframe cravings, strengthen motivation, and heal emotional wounds that drive addictive behaviour. We also help clients build new coping strategies, reinforce their identity as someone in recovery, and reconnect with their values and goals.
Hypnotherapy is especially effective when used alongside other treatments. It helps reduce resistance, enhance engagement, and accelerate progress. Clients often report feeling more empowered, more emotionally regulated, and less controlled by urges.
Scientific studies show that hypnosis can reduce substance cravings, improve treatment retention, and support relapse prevention.
