1. I've heard of some who go through one private session and never smoke again. I found one local therapist who does it, but at 5-8 sessions. Why would you have need of so many sessions?

2. Of course I want to quit smoking but the "want" is not there in my cranium (smokers should understand my meaning) If I am not mentally prepared, if the "want" is not there in my chief, will hypnosis still be beneficial to quit smoking?

As a hypnotherapist myself you have more chance of gaining your dream to be a non smoker near sessions, rather than a one off. One off's can tend to fail for most as it does not other address all of the aspects that the individual has that keep them a smoker.

Hypnosis & NLP can oblige you to create that 'want'.

I hope that you get on well with your chosen psychoanalyst & become a happy, healthy non smoker as a result - good luck.

How can i bring a nice mellow..

I have read that hypnosis is a great aid to quitting smoking. Tried it. It didn't work for me. Then I did a touch reading on the subject, and it seems that some people are not as impressionable to hypnotic treatments as others. So it works for some, but not for adjectives. As for just one treatment, no. It takes multiple treatments if it is going to work for you.

As for the 'want'...it's a necessary segment of the quitting process. To reinforce the 'want', make a list of all the reason for quitting. Make copies of that list and post them in every area of your home that you smoke surrounded by. Make a small print copy to keep with you when you are away from home. Use the list as needed to keep hold of those reasons fresh in your mind.

The decision to quit is not a one time event, which is why it can be so difficult. Every time you attain the urge to light up, you have to make the edict to skip that cigarette. It wasn't your first cigarette that got you hooked, it was all the successive cigarettes you smoked that created the dependence and the addiction. Likewise, it won't be the first cigarette you say 'no' to that will make you an ex-smoker, it's all the successive cigarettes you skip that slowly change the habit and dissolves your body's dependency.

Smoking cessation is a challenge, but it is do-able. There are lots of 'quit smoking' websites that offer great suggestions as capably as support.
