Why quitting is critical after heart attack, CABG, stenting, or CAD diagnosis?
After a heart attack (myocardial infarction) - Quitting can cut the risk of another heart attack by about half. Continuing to smoke significantly raises the chance of another event or death.
After coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) - Patients who stop smoking after CABG have ~35% lower 5-year mortality compared with those who continue. Continued smoking also increases the risk of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
After stenting / angioplasty (PCI) - Continued smoking increases risk of stent problems, new blockages, heart attack, and death. Quitting improves long-term survival.
Diagnosed coronary artery disease - Smoking accelerates atherosclerosis and raises clotting risk. Quitting is one of the strongest secondary prevention measures.After stroke or in peripheral artery disease, Smoking dramatically worsens outcomes and raises risk of further events.

A Client's Story
An anonymised case shared with permission.
''I decided to give up smoking the day of my heart attack, found Valentyna - had 2 sessions of hypnotherapy and never went back.
I spent a year with the patch and these small, plastic mouthpiece devices that house a nicotine plug. No help. After this disappointment someone on Facebook mentioned hypnotherapy and it clicked - I definitely wanted to try.
I still crave cigarettes sometimes and still carry one of the mouthpieces with me, though I never use it anymore. It'll be 2 years in a few months and the money I've saved has certainly made my life better over all.
What we did
One session. We worked through what was actually driving the habit — not just the craving, but the triggers underneath it.
The result
The urge faded within days. She stopped using e-cigarettes completely. Follow-up confirmed she was still smoke-free — and said she finally felt light, relieved, and back in control.
Individual results vary, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed.
Why Trust This Approach
Valentyna, a certified Clinical Hypnotherapist (ICCHP) with 7+ years of experience helping people quit smoking for good. My approach combines clinical hypnotherapy with REBT principles — no generic scripts, just a method built around your specific history and triggers.
How The Hypnotherapy Session Actually Looks Like?
Most clients need 1 to 3 sessions, each lasting 1h15 to 2 hours — enough time to work thoroughly, without rushing.
1. Understanding your smoking history
We explore when you started, what you've tried before, and what smoking has really been doing for you — not just the craving, but the role it plays in your day.
2. Your personalised session
Using what we've learned, I tailor the hypnotherapy to your specific patterns and triggers. You stay fully aware and in control the entire time — we're weakening old associations and building new ones.
3. Reflection
We close by talking through what came up and what to expect next, so you leave with clarity, not just crossed fingers.
Book Your Session
I take a limited number of stop-smoking clients each week — long sessions, properly tailored, no conveyor belt. Free calls are booked first-come. When the week fills, the next opening is usually a few weeks out.
What to Expect From Your Online Hypnotherapy Sessions
What Clients Say
Had a heart attack last year and it was scary enough to make me 100% want to quit. I was a heavy smoker and ate literally all the wrong things. My doctor suggested my to try hypnotherapy saying that it worked for many patients. The thought of having another heartache scares the shit out of me so I’ve found Valentyna and booked first appointment online as soon as possible. It took me 2 sessions but already after the first session I knew im not gonna smoke again.

FAQ
Can clinical hypnotherapy help me quit smoking after a heart attack?
Yes. Quitting smoking after a heart attack is one of the most important steps for recovery and for reducing the risk of another cardiac event. Clinical hypnotherapy can serve as a complementary support to help patients address the psychological and behavioural barriers. It is designed to support the medical advice already given by the cardiology team.
Is hypnotherapy useful after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)?
Yes. Patients who stop smoking after CABG reduce their risk of dying within 5 years by approximately 35% compared with those who continue smoking. Focused hypnotherapy can help patients achieve and maintain cessation, thereby supporting the long-term results of surgery. It is offered as an adjunct to standard aftercare, not as a replacement for medical follow-up.
Can hypnotherapy support me after stenting or angioplasty?
Yes. Continued smoking after percutaneous coronary intervention increases the risk of further arterial problems and recurrent events. Clinical hypnotherapy can assist patients in stopping smoking by working with motivation, cravings, and stress-related triggers. Sessions are solution-focused and can be integrated into the broader recovery plan recommended by the cardiologist.
What if I have tried to quit before and relapsed?
Many cardiac patients have made previous attempts to stop smoking. Hypnotherapy offers a different approach by addressing the subconscious patterns and emotional drivers of the habit. It can be particularly helpful when willpower alone has not been sufficient. Results are often seen within 1–3 focused sessions, including among long-term smokers.
How are the sessions delivered?
Sessions are available online or in person at the private office in Monaco. They are conducted exclusively in English and Russian. The approach is short, structured, and designed to complement (not replace) the care provided by the cardiology and cardiac rehabilitation teams.
Is this service intended to replace medical treatment?
No. Clinical hypnotherapy is offered strictly as a complementary support to help patients act on the smoking-cessation advice given by their doctors. All patients are encouraged to continue following the guidance of their cardiologist and cardiac care team.
About Your Hypnotherapist
I am a UK-certified clinical hypnotherapist based in Monaco, specialising in short-course smoking cessation for people who need to stop — especially after a heart attack, bypass surgery, or stenting.
Most cardiac patients already know they must quit. The problem is rarely lack of information. It is the automatic habit, stress, and psychological pull that keep the smoking going. This is where focused hypnotherapy helps.
I work with referred patients in just 1–3 sessions (online or in my Monaco office), exclusively in English and Russian. The approach is solution-focused, practical, and designed as a complementary support to medical care — not a replacement for it.
My goal is simple: help patients follow through on what their doctors have already told them, so they can protect their recovery and move forward as non-smokers.
