HYPNOTHERAPY FOR CANNABIS ADDICTION – IN READING & DIDCOT
If cannabis has become something you rely on — to relax, sleep, cope with stress, or switch off — it’s not because you’re weak or lacking willpower. Cannabis dependency is driven by subconscious habit loops and emotional coping patterns… and these can be changed.
I help people across Reading, Didcot and online reduce and stop cannabis use using hypnotherapy, NLP and calm, practical mindset techniques.
Many clients notice significant changes in control, motivation and clarity within just a few sessions.

Ask a Question
Do Any of These Sound Like You?
• Using cannabis to relax, sleep or manage stress
• Feeling dependent on weed to feel “normal”
• Wanting to stop — but worrying about withdrawal
• Low motivation, focus or confidence
• Feeling stuck in the same routine
• Anxiety when trying to cut down
• Cannabis affecting work, relationships or goals
• Saying “I’ll stop soon” but not following through
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone — and it can change.
Why Cannabis Dependency Happens
Cannabis use is rarely just about the drug.
It’s often linked to:
• Anxiety or stress relief
• Emotional avoidance
• Habit loops and routine
• Dopamine and reward patterns
• Using cannabis to switch off or sleep
• Identity or lifestyle attachment
• Fear of coping without it
Over time, the brain learns to associate cannabis with calm or relief — even when it’s no longer helping.
That’s why willpower alone often isn’t enough.

Matthew changed my life after 36 years of personal crisis/ hell. I would willingly have paid ten times what I paid him ( don’t tell him that). On top of his skill, and the success of how he has turned my life around 180 degrees, he is a lovely, sincere, and caring chap who is real and relatable. He has encouraged me to now turn my back on the soulless industry that is IT and pursue a career in hypnotherapy to help people like myself who have been a prisoner of their own mind for decades. I cannot thank him enough or rate him any higher. Thank you Matthew. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
