On-Line Help

There are two kinds of on-line help available through this site:  the on-line group work, and on-line private consultation via telephone or Skype.

We recommend group work over private consultation for several reasons:

• Issues around smoking may be more easily visible in other smokers than in oneself and insights are gained that otherwise might be more difficult to access.
• The experiences of the group are more varied than the experience of any individual, and are a great source of creative discovery for everyone involved.
• Progress is generally faster within a community when we feel ourselves to be known, approved of, and understood by others.
• Experiencing the troubles of others allows us to see that our own experience is shared, and often helps us to step outside ourselves for a wider, more circumspect view.  It is this view that often presents solutions or options that had seemed unavailable previously.
• Constantly seeing the progress of others automatically gives hope and lifts expectations.
• It is a less expensive option than private consultation.

However not everyone is able to tolerate the group environment, and for those people private consultation is a viable alternative.

On-Line Group Treatment Program

The cost of the on-line group work program is $US5 per week, and it is expected that most people will need to remain on the program for around 12 weeks, dependent upon the complexity of their issues, how much time they are able to give to the recommended work, and the speed at which they are comfortable with change.

The program is in the form of an on-line forum, divided into steps and sections so that any individual may be at any stage of the program and still get full support from the group itself as well as the supervisory team.

On-Line Private Consultation Program

The cost of this program varies between countries and will be set by each  individual therapist.  In general charges are approximately $US70 per half hour.  It is expected that most people will need 2 x 1-hour sessions per week initially, and that this will quickly reduce to 1 x 30 minute session per week.  It is expected that most individuals or couples would require a period of 3 months or more to enable them to create desired changes safely and comfortably.
