To remind you: It is recommended that initially weekly sessions are planned with clients. The main aim is for you to provide the structure around the quit attempt by:

Being a regular check-in point where the client is accountable.

Boosting motivation: a large part of this is building a good rapport and professional relationship with the client.

Providing tips and encouraging to explore forming coping strategies and plans to distract from cravings.

Providing information and facilitating the effective use of stop smoking treatments. 

Supporting self-regulation by facilitating boundaries like the ‘not a puff’ rule.
