Helping You Break Free in Just One Session
Overcome Drug & Substance Dependency with Hypnotherapy
Are you caught in the cycle of dependency, feeling trapped by cravings and losing the control you deserve? You are not alone — and there is a proven, effective way forward.

Dr David Postlethwaite PhD. BSc. has over 30 years of successful experience helping people just like you break free from drug and substance dependency. However unlike approaches that require multiple costly appointments, Dr Postlethwaite delivers real, lasting change in just one session. There are no hidden extras and no ongoing programmes — honest, caring support at a price you can afford.
Your session takes place at the welcoming consulting room in Gateshead, and costs just £95. In addition you will also receive a backup hypnotherapy session to use at home, so you can reinforce your progress whenever you need it.
Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind — where deep-seated habits, cravings, and emotional triggers live. By addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms, it then helps you rewire the patterns that keep dependency in place. Throughout the session you remain fully in control, and every suggestion is built around your goals and your willpower.
Dr Postlethwaite’s approach has helped clients overcome dependency on cocaine, alcohol, cannabis, vaping, and more. The 2024 success rate shows 93% effectiveness across dependency cases — and many clients notice a powerful shift from the very first session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can hypnotherapy really help with drug and substance dependency?
A: Yes. Hypnotherapy is a powerful, evidence-informed tool that targets the subconscious patterns driving cravings and habit formation. It complements your own willpower to create lasting change from within. However it is not a magic wand — but it is a proven, effective approach that has helped many people reclaim their lives.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Just one session. Any competent, properly qualified hypnotherapist should be able to bring about real and lasting change in a single session. Dr Postlethwaite does not believe in tying you into expensive ongoing treatment plans — honest, effective help, delivered efficiently.
Q: What happens during the session?
A: You will meet Dr Postlethwaite at his Gateshead consulting room. He will take the time to understand your situation, your goals, and your triggers. Then the session itself is deeply relaxing — you remain aware and in control throughout. Afterwards you will leave with a clear, positive mindset and a downloadable backup session to use at home whenever you need reinforcement.
Q: Is hypnotherapy safe?
A: Absolutely. You remain fully conscious and in control at all times. You cannot be made to do or say anything against your values or wishes. Hypnotherapy is a natural, drug-free approach with no unwanted side effects.
Q: What exactly does the £95 fee include?
A: Your full one-to-one session at the Gateshead consulting room, plus a downloadable backup hypnotherapy session for unlimited at-home use. There are absolutely no hidden extras.
Q: What if I can’t come to Gateshead?
If, for any reason, you are unable to visit my consulting room in Gateshead, I have made my hypnotherapy treatments available through Amazon in Kindle, paperback, and hardback editions, starting from just £9.99. While these resources are naturally not as effective as face-to-face support, they have achieved a success rate of 80%. Click here for my Amazon books.
