Individual coaching
Thinking about stopping smoking and would like:
~ someone there just for you ~ to stop smoking at your own pace ~ a programme tailor-made to suit your needs and temperament ~ practical tips on how to stop easily and quickly ~ techniques to achieve and maintain what you want ~ to stay stopped without worrying and manage your weight ~ up-to-date information on NRT products and Zyban or flower essences
I am here to:
* support and encourage you in your wish to stop smoking * let you know of simple ways to help you stop smoking which you can do with relative ease (according to successful quitters)a nd feel really good about yourself * help you enjoy your life more fully, free of health worries, manage your weight and cope with any crises without cigarettes. This does not depend on willpower * help you acknowledge and deal with any doubts and fears you may have * help focus on the ease of stopping. Five main areas of focus are:
* motivation - how much do you want to succeed? * your attitude towards yourself and smoking - how much this influences the outcome - either positively or negatively * your ability to change the way you think about cigarettes - and what they do for you, as well as to you * resolving mixed feelings that many smokers have about stopping - where part of you wants to stop but part of you doesn't * commitment to achieving your goal - this involves you devoting a few minutes each day working towards this.
My clients? success rates are high - far above the national average at about 75 per cent at a year - due to learning how to: ~ use the practical tools to help overcome any barriers for good ~ build confidence, self-worth, motivation to succeed ~ resolve any internal conflicts about stopping smoking ~ empower themselves by learning facts about smoking ~ use their imaginative minds positively ~ recognise that success in stopping is much easier with appropriate, professional support.
Research increasingly shows that dealing effectively with the psychological habit of smoking - and not just the physical addiction - tends to be underrated, and that the high relapse rate of 65-75 per cent nationally can occur - even after a year or so - because quitters have not learnt effective ways of dealing with the urge to smoke and setting up adequate long-term support for themselves.
what do I need to do * You can have coaching face-to-face, by phone and / or e-mail; after initial, free consultation we agree to a contract - usually six half-hour sessions - and usually weekly - at an agreed time. Further sessions available if required; additional follow-up session(s) highly recommended.
