Rob Kelly has stopped over 5000 smokers using an amazing technique that he has developed, at the Cambridge Hypnotherapy Clinic. It is just SO EASY to stop, using his method. Rob has trained about 400 other hypnotherapists in this technique also. He uses a combination of suggestion therapy, visualisation and positive thinking to make stopping smoking as easy as possible.
Over 95% of the 5000 (verified success rate) smokers he has helped to quit, gave up easily after just one session.
A couple of years ago the largest study ever conducted into stopping smoking was undertaken (in the U.S.A.) It studied everything from; will power, nicotine patches, positive thinking, placebos, chewing gum etc - and the conclusion was that "most techniques turned out to be hopeless, Hypnosis however came out as the most effective anti-smoking technique"
The above comment (from the study) is based purely on 'suggestion therapy' (normal hypnotherapy) Rob has taken insights from his vast analytical-therapy experience, and fused them with sugestion, visualisation techniques, postive thinking, and applied psychology. The actual session lasts about one hour - a forty minute 'talky bit', followed by a twenty minute hypnosis session. During the 'talky bit' Rob will challenge your belief system (the way you think and feel about smoking) by asking you questions (some quite personal!), getting you to think differently about smoking, challenging your beliefs about why you smoke, and learning to see the whole smoking business from a totally different perspective (Warning: much banter, humor and swearing may be employed during this part of the session!)
With the powerful Smoking Cessation techniques that Rob uses, 95% of smokers find it easy to quit - in just one session.
Watch Paul and his story of how he quit smoking easily in one hour with hypnotherapy in Cambridge with Rob. In one session, Paul quit from smoking 30 cigarettes a day to nothing...no stress....no cravings....no gum or willpower needed and he felt fantastic. This is his story...

Why is it (normally!) so hard to quit?
Most people find it hard to give up smoking because they receive no immediate or tangible BENEFIT for doing so: they get no reward... you give up something you love or need, for no reason at all. It's no wonder people get crabby/angry etc
Let me give you an example:
If somebody offered you ten pounds for your gold chain/watch, would you take it?
No, of course you wouldn't.
What about £20?, £50?, what about £500?
Chances are, if the amount offered kept rising, then sooner or later an amount would be reached that was an acceptable price/exchange for your piece of jewelry, even if it was a family heirloom or a present from a loved one.
You wouldn't give it up for nothing, you'd be mad!
You'd want to be
adequately compensated for your loss;
The better the 'deal' you get, the better you feel about it.
The worse the 'deal' you get, the worse you feel about it. Makes sense?
Now.........
part of you wants to smoke. You like it. You need it. You might even love it! You've probably done it for years and years. It helps you to relieve stress and tension. It makes you feel confident, when you are feeling insecure. It calms you down when you've been feeling anxious. It acts as a reward after a tough day at work. It makes you feel 'whole', and 'complete'. (I could go on and on and on here)
Why would you want to give up all those benefits?, and receive no reward for doing so?
Why do YOU! want to quit?
You might think that by quitting you would; live a little longer, feel a little healthier, get nagged a little less from your partner or kids, save a few quid, or have nicer smelling breath. The trouble is, ..........and here is the problem, ........... none of those reasons bring immediate rewards i.e. You don't feel healthier/fitter/richer/nicer smelling/less nagged, the day after quitting smoking. (or the next day, or week, or even month)
That doesn't sound like a good deal to me! - give up something I love, and in five years I may just feel a little healthier!
No wonder people often get stressed, moody, stroppy, angry and depressed when they quit smoking by willpower alone.
People want their rewards and benefits NOW - not in five/ten/twenty years time.
Hypnotherapy for smoking cessation is so successful, because you do receive immediate rewards for your efforts;
you feel an intense sense of pride and satisfaction
you receive an immediate boost to your willpower
you gain a huge amount of confidence in your ability to remain a non smoker
situations that used to make you feel stressed or anxious, now just relax you
....this list could go on and on and on......
Ask yourself this;
... if you received a fantastic sense of well-being,
calmness, pride and satisfaction
everytime you got yourself in a situation
where you used to have a cigarette,
why would you EVER want or need to smoke again ?
Q. Will I be 'under', or 'out of control' during the session?
A. No. You will be relaxed, in a very light state of hypnosis.....fully alert and fully in control at all times. You can speak, move, open your eyes or do anything else you would like to do.... you DO NOT have to be in a 'stage hypnosis' type of trance - just a very light, relaxed state.
Q. Does Rob offer any sort of 'Guarantees', or 'money back if it doesn't work'?
A. Yes, of course he does, he also cures the blind, heals the sick, and brings the dead back to life!
No, he doesn't offer any guarantees - and no professional therapist should. YOU need to accept some responsibility for YOUR smoking habit, and YOU need to put some effort in if you want to stop - nobody can do it for you. Rob will help you a great deal, but he cannot do it for you. Rob has stopped over 5000 smokers in the last 19 years but could not have guaranteed any single one of them. He has also trained about 400 other therapists in how to help people to stop smoking, and they couldn't guarantee it either. There is NO MAGIC to hypnosis or hypnotherapy - it can HELP you to achieve many things in life, but none of these things can be guaranteed, because it depends on how much effort YOU, the client, puts in. Where hypnotherapists do offer 'money back guarantees' or 'free back up sessions', they are being unethical, unprofessional and not helping you at all.
Q. Why do you, and other hypnotherapists, charge so much more for a smoking cessation session, than other symptoms you treat?
A. An 'Easy Smoking Cessation' session, the way Rob does them, is the most involved type of hypnotherapy session that he runs. It involves far more time, preparation, effort, skill, experience, character-assessment, insight and general hard-work, than any other symptom or condition that he treats. That is why it costs more. If you don't think stopping smoking would be worth £250 to you, then please read no further, for you are wasting your time!
Q. Why is your success rate SO MUCH HIGHER than most other therapists?
A. A number of reasons really:
1. Rob has been doing this for over 19 years, and has learned a great deal from the 5000 smokers he has stopped.
2. He runs the session very differently to most other therapists, and focuses on very different topics
3. Rob helps the client to change their BELIEF SYSTEM - to that of a NON-SMOKER... and as a non-smoker, it is very easy to stop smoking.
4. Rob trains other hypnotherapists - in fact, he runs the largest hypnotherapy training school in Europe, and come into contact with students and other hypnotherapists on a daily basis - and shares information on the best techniques
5. Most importantly of all...... Rob doesn't approach stopping smoking from the same view point as 'normal' hypnotherapists.. he is an analytical hypnotherapist by profession, and has taken many thousands of people through 'therapy'. Taking people through therapy gives (the therapist) tremendous insight into WHY we have habits, phobias and other symptoms.. Rob uses his insights into the unconscious motivations BEHIND smoking cessation, to eliminate the habit at at unconscious level.
Q. What happens if I stop smoking, but start again in six months time?
A. This is very unlikely to happen, as when Rob helps people to stop smoking, he helps them to change their belief system about smoking as well (Which means they become s 'non smoker) If you did go back to smoking, there would have to have been some big emotional trauma to precipitate it. Rob would speak with you about whether it was sensible to have another session.
Q. Is every smoker suitable for this treatment?
A. Yes, unless they have a history of psychoses.
Q. Will I need gum, patches. placebos, zyban or anything else to help me?
A. No. Nothing.
Q. I have been to another hypnotherapist before and it didn't work - would it still be worth it coming to see you?
A. Yes, Robs techniques are TOTALLY different to most other therapists - please see the videos and testimonials below.
Q. Why do you insist on clients paying cash for smoking cessation?
A. Part of the reason you will stop when you come and see Rob, is because you will have a tangible reason to stop. A lot of emphasis is placed upon what is tangible and not tangible. A cheque, or a credit card slip, is not tangible, and might effect your committment. Cash is tangible, it is real... this helps to focus your attention
Q. Do I need to put in any effort?
A. Yes you do. There is NO MAGIC to hypnosis - it is an AID to you, it will HELP YOU, but it WILL NOT do it for you. You need to pay attention during the session, you need to be honest during the session , and you need to put some effort into the session. Rob has a SUPERB! 95% success rate - but you do need to put some effort in.

Press and magazine clippings about stopping smoking with hypnosis in Cambridge
"Hypno help - to beat the weed"
Extract from the Cambridge Evening News, 8th March 2000
"Nicotine is not addictive and giving up smoking is easy" - these are the controversial words of Robert Kelly, a Hypnotherapist with one of the best success rates in the country.
"Getting people to give up smoking is about the easiest thing I do," he said. And to prove it, he promised to hypnotise News' Sue Green, a serial smoker who has tried every method in the book to give up the dreaded weed. In a lengthy consultation from his Cambridge practice, Mr Kelly talked through his beliefs, about why people smoke - and why they find it hard to give up.
"It's my belief that it is a fallacy that people are addicted to nicotine," he said. "Smokers do not crave nicotine while they are asleep. You just need to go into any drug rehabilitation clinic to see heroin addicts banging their heads against the wall in the night - because if you are truly addicted to something, you need it in your bloodstream morning, noon and night. People have different personality types and those who smoke are Oral Compulsives - if it is not smoking, it is food, or nailbiting, or drinking. It is not a question of will power, of lack of self confidence, it is all about anxiety and stress".
"When people feel anxiety or stress they feel they need to restore confidence by smoking (or drinking, or eating). The reason why so many people fail to stop smoking is because there is no real incentive to give up. People usually feel that they have given up something for nothing i.e. there is no 'tangible' or immediate reward / benefit."
"What I do is offer people something in return. Every time they do not smoke they will feel a buzz (reward) far greater than the one they ever got from smoking."
Mr Kelly also uses positive suggestion to make sure his patients do not turn to another oral substitute, such as overeating. To hypnotise Sue, Mr Kelly used a combination of suggestion therapy, visualisation and positive thinking.
Hypnotherapist Robert Kelly has seen between 250-400 smokers a year for the last ten years. Last year, of the 400 smokers he saw, only 18 returned for a second session because they had gone back to smoking.
Mr Kelly, who is based at The Beechwood Practice, in Hills Road, Cambridge, has studied hypnosis, psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for over 11 years, and since setting up practice in Cambridge eight years ago has seen over 3000 patients.
As well as smoking cessation, he has also successfully treated people suffering from phobias, migraines, sexual problems, depression and insomnia.
Mr Kelly offers a free introductory consultation to people who would like to find out more before they embark on therapy. For more information contact Robert Kelly on 01223 301577.
"A patient's eye view" by Sue Green
I'm not crabby and I'm not smoking - but it's early days. It's been more than 48 hours - and I haven't had a cigarette. No big deal? It is for me. And I feel completely relaxed about it. That is the big difference.
Before this latest, and hopefully final effort to beat the weed, colleagues and family would have experienced the less attractive side of my nature - the short-tempered, unreasonable, sometimes hysterical side that has accompanied every other attempt at giving up.
When I arrived at Robert Kelly's office, I was anxious; I could not sit down in the waiting room. I paced. I was not convinced that I could be hypnotised, and thought the hypnotherapy approach would be, at best, ineffective. I am not weird, and not often wacky, but I can spot both characteristics a mile off.
Robert's office was normal (no couch, no odd time pieces to swing in front of my eyes) and Robert was normal too (no particular hairstyle, no wild eyebrows, no glint of madness behind the eyes). He was charming and professional and I soon felt more at ease. Maybe there was something to it after all.
His statistics speak for themselves - a 90% plus success rate and very few clients needing a second dose of this particular kind of medicine. We chatted, I unwound. Robert was straight with me throughout. During my initial consultation, he said, he can weed out those he is unable to help, and I was a perfect subject.
Robert sat me in a comfortable chair and used his voice to induce me into a state of hypnosis - this did not feel like anything I had expected. I knew I could open my eyes at any time. I could hear him. But I felt calm, warm, safe and very, very relaxed.
I came away with an impression of Robert as a favourite teacher. I liked him, I liked his approach and enthusiasm for his subject, I like the fact that he was normal.
As well as wanting the therapy to succeed for all the right reasons, there is an added incentive - part of me doesn't want to let him down. He was so sure the therapy was going to work on me. I was, after all, an ideal subject.
As so far, so good. I'm not smoking and I'm not crabby.
"It's goodbye to smoking"
Extract from the Cambridge Evening News, March 30 2000
It's goodbye to cigarettes after 25 years and one Hypno session News assistant chief sub editor Sue Green gave up smoking in time for National Non Smoking Day after visiting a Hypnotherapist but that was more than three weeks ago.... It's been three whole weeks since I went to the hypnotist and I haven't smoked since. This has amazed me and it has astonished my family and friends who, in the past have been subjected to the extremely short-tempered outbursts which have always accompanied previous "I've packed it in" attempts. I can't say I haven't missed it.
There were times when I was sorely tempted but I have not experienced the gnawing cravings of the past. I had just one session with hypnotherapist Robert Kelly, who sees his clients at the Beechwood Practice in Hills Road, Cambridge. He said at the time I was an ideal subject and one session would be enough. It seems he was right. I posted a daily bulletin at work during the first week, letting colleagues know how things were going; Day 1 No I haven't Day 2 All is well Day 3 Cruising Day 4 Still clean but tricky moment while watching the TV that night, which was overcome by the consumption of chocolate biscuits Day 5 I'm Okay The first weekend my children conspired against me and I nearly buckled.
The second week was much as the first. There were a couple of times when I really missed the habit but I resisted. Now, here we are in week four and still all is well. I think about smoking less than I did and, in fact, I'm feeling quietly pleased with myself. I can't believe how different it has been this time. During the past 25 years, I have 'given up' more times than I can remember. I was only ever successful during pregnancy, and even then I cheated.! I know it's still early days but I have been to a pub and too a party and I haven't smoked.
My children have all been monsters and I haven't smoked.
My colleagues are still smoking - and I'm not.
I've got this feeling I might have cracked it this time!!!
"Hypnotism and the demon weed"
Extract from the Cambridge Evening News, October 23 1999
Alternative therapies are being used by an increasing number of people, and next weekend the Natural Healing Exhibition comes to Chilford Hall in Linton. Lisa Millard spoke to Graham Lee, who has given up 40 cigarettes a day with the help of Hypnotherapy. Graham Lee has smoked 40 cigarettes a day for most of his life. The 51 year old car salesman from Quy started smoking when he was 12 and all attempts to give up the demon weed had failed.
"As well as forty fags a day I'd smoke five or six cigars as well" says Graham "I've tried patches and gum but they did absolutely no good at all. And they are expensive. And the gum tastes horrible." Graham says his £120 investment in nicotine patches did not pay off and his 40-a-day habit was costing him about £140 per month. He does not describe himself as a man who is particularly open to the world of alternative therapies and admits to a certain amount of skepticism. But when he heard that a couple of his friends had given smoking with the help of Hypnotherapy, he decided to give it a go.
"I went to see Robert Kelly in Cambridge. I wasn't nervous about it but I certainly didn't think it would work. Nothing else had - so why should this?" He turned up early for his appointment at the Beechwood Practice so went and had a coffee at the café around the corner from the Hills Road surgery. "That's where I smoked my last cigarette," says Graham who has not lit up now for more than two weeks. "I was there for forty minutes and he just talked to me about how I didn't need to smoke and how I was not addicted."
"I sat in an armchair and closed my eyes but it wasn't like you see on television. I didn't go into a trance and I could hear what he was saying to me all the time. He told me that I just didn't need cigarettes." When the session , which cost £90, was over, Graham says he felt a little bit strange but knew exactly where he was. "I walked into that room a life long smoker, and walked out a non smoker. My friends thought I was barmy. They offered me cigarettes and I would just say "no thanks, I don't smoke".
Graham has not given up his regular visits to his local pub where he drinks with his friend who continues to be a heavy smoker. And the presence of his 25 year old son, who is "lighting up all the time" and works in the same office, has not caused Graham to reach for a cigarette. " When they first light up and I get the smell I think that would be nice - but the urge only lasts for a few seconds" Graham says that his wife, who doesn't smoke, is pleased that he has finally given up and that he is even developing typical non-smoking traits. "I can really notice how my friends who smoke, really smell of it. It is a horrible smell but I never noticed it before because I smelt like that myself." "I would definitely recommend anyone try Hypnotherapy. Giving up smoking is hard for anyone but it is definitely easier with Hypnotherapy "
Fee for Easy Smoking Cessation: £250 (session lasts about one hour)
