The 10 Reasons Why You Should Choose Stephen Rigby

As Your Hypnotherapist To Stop Smoking

Ultimately, there is really only one fact you want to determine – that people who visit me stop smoking! You want to hear that my clients are successful at stopping smoking. I could claim a high success rate and if you had a group of friends who had visited me you could confirm it. If you have no way of confirming my success rate then make sure you read some of my client comments. If you still need to know more then the following 10 reasons explain why my service is the best in the area and why you can feel confident in your investment. 

1. An Individual Service
2. One 90 Minute Consultation
3. Free Backup Sessions if Required
4. An Experienced, Full Time Therapist
5. Receive Priority Treatment
6. Recommended Personally by Medical Practitioners
7. Fully Registered and Insured
8. Registered in the UK
9. Honest Presentation of Credentials
10. Easy Access and parking at Guildford and Woking Practices

1. An Individual Service

You receive an individual service tailored to you personally – not a script, claiming to have a high success rate, learnt by heart and recited to everyone the same (one size fits all!)

2. One 90 Minute Consultation

Your consultation lasts about 90 minutes – smoking cessation is something that happens immediately, not something that you spend days or weeks agonising over!

3. Free Backup Sessions if Required

You receive free back up sessions if you require them. Smoking cessation can hold a great deal of fear for some people. Even though in a survey of 100 clients, only 2 took full advantage; I offer 2 free backup sessions within the first 6 months. This offer is intended to give people a safety net and also to provide help for those who have a powerful emotional attachment to smoking. All smokers have an emotional attachment to smoking but in some the emotion is extremely traumatic and difficult to resolve without additional help more>>

4. An Experienced, Full Time Therapist

Your hypnotherapist is an experienced full time therapist seeing people on a daily basis for a full range of conditions – not someone doing therapy in their spare time or a “one trick pony” dictating a script learnt on a course, taken over a few days, to turn them into a “specialist” in smoking cessation.

5. Receive Priority Treatment

You receive priority treatment and an appointment as early as possible. Most callers receive an appointment that is convenient to them within 7 days of their call. Smoking cessation is most successful when one acts immediately on ones decision and I want you to be as successful as you possibly can be. Your stop smoking therapist can do this because appointments are spread out over the whole week. Available appointment times are between 8:00am and 9:00pm five days a week and between 8:00am and 5:00pm on Saturdays. Many hypnotherapists will make you wait up to three weeks or more for a smoking cessation appointment. They claim to be booked up. They might claim this for a number of reasons. If they have another full time job, they will be restricted in when they can take clients. Or they may do it just to make you think that they are successful in what they do.

6. Recommended Personally by Medical Practitioners

You have a hypnotherapist in whom the medical professions (doctors, consultants and dentists) have sufficient trust to refer their patients. Stephen Rigby is also the hypnotherapist at The Surrey Park Clinic, a private health clinic specialising in women’s health, fertility and hormonal problems. As required by any person working in a medical establishment Stephen has full Enhanced Disclosure obtained through the Criminal Records Bureau.

7. Fully Registered and Insured

Your hypnotherapist is registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register and with the National Register of Practitioners in Smoking Cessation. The General Hypnotherapy Register is an independent registration body, not a body set up by a training organisation to accommodate their own pupils. As condition of registration with the General Hypnotherapy Register one must hold full public liability insurance to practice as a hypnotherapist, engage in Continual Professional Development (additional yearly training) and ensure that ones work is externally evaluated on a regular basis (Supervision).

8. Registered in the UK

Your hypnotherapist is registered to a UK registration body. The General Hypnotherapy Register is a UK registration body and being based in the UK, it is better able to evaluate the quality of training used as an entrance requirement for membership. This is an important consideration because “internationally recognised” may sound impressive but it is often difficult to check the authenticity or quality of the training of a hypnotherapist if they are registered abroad. There tends to be a number of characteristics that are common to all UK hypnotherapists who state they have American registration – number one on the list is they never state where they were originally trained. Stephen Rigby has completed hundreds of hours of training. The General Hypnotherapy Register requires continual professional development (CPD) so he has completed considerable additional training since qualifying has a hypnotherapist – including specialist training in smoking cessation. Stephen Rigby was, however, originally trained at the School for Analytical and Cognitive Hypnotherapy and Integrative Psychotherapy (SACH). If you would like to review the quality of their training programmes, you can find a link on the linkage section.

9. Honest Presentation of Credentials

You have found a hypnotherapist who does not try to confuse you or imply that he is something superior by labelling himself an “advanced” or “master” hypnotherapist. These are meaningless as they are not generally recognised terms within hypnotherapy in the UK. In NLP, however, there is a recognised “master” practitioner qualification.
