Anne Penman Stop Smoking Programme

The Anne Penman Stop Smoking Programme is the most advanced treatment for helping people to stop smoking cigarettes, cigars and e-cigarettes.

We know everyone reacts differently, so the programme has been tailored to each individual’s needs. This means that regardless of how many you smoke or for how long, this programme can help you achieve your goal to become smoke-free.


What happens during the programme?

The programme consists of three sessions: The first session is one hour long, and this is usually all that is required to help you become smoke-free. However, we understand that the first 2 or 3 days of quitting smoking are crucial and to maximise your success we recommend a second session within two to three days.

Further sessions can be arranged depending on individual needs. These on-going sessions are offered to help you remain smoke-free.

  • The 3 Stages

    Laser Therapy

    Laser Therapy is a well-established therapeutic technique with a wide range of medical applications.

    The Anne Penman method utilises a cold laser applied to energy points to help stimulate endorphin levels affected by nicotine withdrawal, help individuals stay calm and feel more in control and help the body detox.


    Counselling

    During the initial session we will discuss your lifestyle, the role smoking plays in your life, when and where you smoke, the factors that lead you to smoke and your dependency level. This will help us to create a tailored plan to help you to overcome your addiction.

    We will also offer you a nicotine addiction test to help you understand your level of addiction and a carbon monoxide test to measure the amount of carbon monoxide currently in your lungs and blood stream. We use the carbon monoxide monitor as a motivational tool to help track your success.


    Continual Support & Motivation

    You’ll be provided with 24/7 support via our helpline, and our highly trained staff will be on hand to advise you when required.

    Every member of staff understands how difficult it can be to overcome nicotine addiction, and we believe that this experience helps them to provide excellent support.

  • How to Prepare

    Before coming to your first appointment:

    •Set a date to stop smoking and stick to it.

    •Keep a diary for a day or two. Note down for a short period of time why, when, where & with whom you smoke and the number of cigarettes.

    •Think about your reasons for quitting smoking and write them down. This can include saving money, being healthier etc.

    •Inform your family and close friends that you’re going to stop smoking & ask for their support.

    •Find others who would like to give up smoking and support each other.

    •Get rid of lighters, ashtrays and matches. Make sure you have no cigarettes around.

    •Remove any stale smoke smells by spring-cleaning your home and clothes.
