Compulsive Behaviors
Gambling, Shopping, Alcohol, Internet, Drugs or other Addiction?
Help is here (and it’s easier than you think)
Addictions can vary from person to person and because you are unique, we will help you in the best way that’s right for you.
By using a unique combination of advanced Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and The Havening Techniques®, we will teach you and guide you how to stop and let go of the addiction so that you can finally experience personal freedom, make better choices and better decisions.
We get to work on:
- clearing the past (causes/triggers/core issues behind the addiction),
- positively changing the present (beliefs, habits, behaviours, identity),
- helping to set you up for the future by being better prepared and better equipped with the right skillset, the right motivation and right mindset.
Whether you have a gambling addiction, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, shopping addiction, sugar addiction, or any other addiction, we have the skills, knowledge and experience to help you.
Depending on you and your addiction(s), many of our clients break their addiction in just 2 to 3 sessions (each session is generally 2 hours) and for some, just 1 session is all that’s needed to make the difference. Who says it has to take months or years to get rid of an addiction? The mind is more powerful and works faster than you think.
Are you ready to take action?
Alcohol Addiction / Alcoholism
Over the years Chris has helped more and more people in clinic to stop drinking alcohol completely or reduce their alcohol intake.
Many of our clients had already tried Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and talk therapy such as counselling. Because of an increase in demand to see Chris for clearing addictions, this is an area in which he now specialises.
There is no magic wand – let’s be honest here. If you want to change your life, it starts with YOU, and by starting with you and being open to learning new ways, you’re giving yourself a better chance of turning your life around, sooner than you think.

Let's Get Started on Breaking Your Addiction
We know that admitting you have an addiction, asking for help and doing something about it takes courage and determination.
We also know that addictions are often ‘secretive’ and ‘hidden’ and for this reason, clients will naturally not wish to film a video testimonial, otherwise their secret of what they were doing is out there.
Most clients will keep in touch and let us know how they are doing months and years later. So as a client of ours, we hope you will do the same.
We totally respect privacy and confidentiality at all times. So by now, whether you’re ready or perhaps not sure if this is right for you, just get in touch and let’s have a chat so you’re able to make a better decision.
Understanding Compulsive Behaviors
Compulsive behaviors are actions that individuals feel compelled to perform repeatedly, often in response to anxiety or distress. These behaviors can manifest in various forms, such as gambling, shopping, or substance abuse, and can significantly impact one's quality of life.
Recognizing the signs of compulsive behaviors is crucial for seeking help. Common indicators include a preoccupation with the behavior, unsuccessful attempts to control it, and continued engagement despite negative consequences. Understanding these patterns can empower individuals to take the first step toward recovery.
Benefits of Hypnotherapy for Addiction Recovery
Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic tool that helps individuals access their subconscious mind to address the root causes of their addictions. By fostering a deep state of relaxation, clients can explore underlying issues and reframe their thoughts and behaviors related to their compulsions.
Research has shown that hypnotherapy can enhance the effectiveness of traditional treatment methods, leading to faster and more sustainable recovery outcomes. Many clients report significant improvements in their ability to manage cravings and make healthier choices after undergoing hypnotherapy sessions.
Personalized Treatment Plans for Overcoming Addictions
At Chris Meaden's practice, each client receives a tailored treatment plan designed to address their unique needs and circumstances. This personalized approach ensures that the methods employed resonate with the individual, enhancing the likelihood of successful outcomes.
By combining techniques such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Havening Techniques with hypnotherapy, clients are equipped with a comprehensive toolkit to combat their addictions. This holistic strategy not only targets the addiction itself but also fosters personal growth and resilience.
Success Stories: Transformations Through Therapy
Many individuals have successfully overcome their addictions through the therapeutic services offered by Chris Meaden. These success stories serve as powerful testimonials to the effectiveness of the treatment methods used, inspiring others who may be struggling.
