Smoking Cessation
1. Each year more than 18,000 Australians die prematurely because
of smoking - that is 50 a day.
2. Smoking kills more people in Australia than the total number
killed by drink, drugs, murder, suicide, road crashes, rail crashes,
air crashes, poisoning, drowning, fires, falls, lightning,
electrocution, snakes, spiders and sharks.
3. Of 1,000 young Australian males who smoke, 1 will be murdered,
15 will be killed on the road and 250 will be killed before their time
by tobacco.

Nearly 50 years ago, Leslie Bullock, my father, invented a system to help people
give up smoking cigarettes and other addictive substances, which has proven to
be very successful.
Using a combination of stress management techniques, self hypnosis and
specialised suggestions and ideas, we have helped many people to quit
smoking, quickly, easily and pleasantly.
Quit Now!
Many people can quit after just one session. Sometimes people need more than
one session however, our goal is to help you in one session. It is important that
you want to stop.
We also offer telephone support and coaching services where necessary. Call
02-9418-4848 for an appointment.
Alcohol
It has been shown that 10% of Australians drink at a risky or high
risk level that can cause them long term harm while 34% drink at
rates that can cause harm in the short term.

I have helped many people to deal with alcohol problems. By dealing with
underlying drives, stresses, tensions or emotional problems, we have found that
people can stop drinking altogether.
If you want to stop you can!
I have found that two or three sessions is all that is usually required for clients
to quit or to reach their planned and safe level of alcohol consumption. As with
all services I offer telephone support or additional refresher sessions after the
initial consultations if required. Call 02-9418-4848 for an appointment.
Weight
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare 1 60%
of Australians over the age of twenty-five years are overweight or
obese. This rate is more than double what it was twenty years ago.2
In detail, and in real terms, this means there are 4.82 million
Australians who are overweight and another 2.6 million
Australians who are classified as obese. Excess weight puts people
at increased risk of health problems as well as mental health
concerns such as low self-esteem and increased stress.
Many people try all kinds of methods to lose weight. It can be easy to lose some
weight in the beginning but it is often very difficult to continue the momentum
of weight loss to achieve the overall goal of a healthy weight. Research shows
that it is especially difficult to MAINTAIN the loss.
Most people understand that the best method to achieve a healthy weight is to
develop a healthy eating pattern combined with sensible exercise. This requires
changes; new eating patterns, techniques and habits that do not rely on crash
diets, chemicals or surgery. Some people need assistance to make and sustain
these changes.
To this end I have developed a system of relaxation exercises and focusing skills
to help you to visualise and achieve your goals. By dealing with underlying
stresses, patterns, or emotional problems, we find that people can effectively
lose weight and learn to MAINTAIN that loss over time.
Three or four sessions will usually get people well on their way, and as with all
my services, telephone support or booster sessions after the initial consultations
are available. It is vital that clients include physical exercise and healthy eating
patterns to assist them to reach their goals. Call 02-9418-4848 for an
appointment.
