Most people can be hypnotised, as hypnosis is simply a natural state of focused attention and relaxation. It is similar to being absorbed in a book or a movie, where your attention is so focused that you become less aware of your surroundings. In this state, you are still fully aware and in control, but more open to positive change and suggestion.

Many clients who attend have previously tried to quit using methods such as nicotine patches, gum, willpower, or other support services. These approaches work for some people, however others find they still experience strong cravings or habits that are difficult to break. Hypnotherapy offers a different approach by focusing on the subconscious patterns and associations linked to smoking or vaping.

The Gold Coast Stop Smoking Clinic has been operating since 2010. Each year, we now help 500+ smokers and vapers take steps toward stopping through hypnotherapy.

Yes — you will be able to drive safely after your session. While many clients feel deeply relaxed following hypnotherapy, you remain fully alert, aware, and in control throughout the process and afterwards. Most people are able to return to normal activities, including driving or going back to work, immediately after their session.

The Gold Coast Stop Smoking Clinic is often booked 1–3 weeks in advance, so we operate a strict 48-hour cancellation policy. When your appointment is reserved, a dedicated 2-hour session time is allocated specifically for you. Late cancellations or missed appointments make it difficult to offer that time to other clients who are ready to attend. If an appointment is cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice, or in the case of a no-show, a $50 cancellation fee applies per booking. For bookings involving multiple appointments (including couple or back to back session) the cancelation policy is based on the first scheduled appointment time as the full booking block is reserved for you
