Hypnotherapy For Habits, harley street
Tired of Bad Habits Controlling You?
Bad habits can easily become a part of everyday life and changing them can prove a challenge. Whether it’s biting your nails, overeating, or a more serious unwanted habit like smoking and drinking excessively, these behaviours can have an impact on your daily life. Hypnotherapy for habits is a way to effectively address and overcome these unwanted behaviours, by targeting the subconscious patterns that keep them in place.
With hypnotherapy, you can rewire your mindset to break free from the cycles of behaviour that arise as unwanted habits develop. By exploring the triggers and emotions linked to these habits, hypnosis can assist you in developing new responses and behaviours, in turn, empowering you to take control of your actions.

Understanding Habits
Habits are actions and behaviours that you do over and over again without thinking. Many people unknowingly develop these behaviours from the early days of their life, often carrying them into adulthood.
Generally, habits are classified as good and bad. The general idea is that good habits are those that have a purpose and a positive impact on your life. While bad habits may bring you some joy and a temporary high, they do not benefit you in any way and often have destructive tendencies or attract other bad habits.
Nail Biting
Nail biting is a habit that typically develops as a child outside of conscious awareness. People often develop this compulsive habit due to stress, anxiety, or boredom. Continuing this poor habit leads to unsightly nails, soreness, and damage to skin, cuticles, and the nail bed. Although this behaviour may seem simple to stop, like any other habit, it can be difficult to break, but my specialised hypnosis can help you stop nail biting.
Cheek Biting
Cheek biting is when you clench your teeth down on the inner cheek. It’s often done when sleeping, with prolonged biting causing damage to the mouth and also leading to ulcers and sores. It’s more than a bad habit, and a sign of excessive anxiety and stress. When all other techniques fail, hypnosis for cheek biting can help you stop this bad habit.
Hair Pulling
Hair pulling or trichotillomania is an irresistible urge to pull hair, more commonly from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelids, but also from other parts of the body. You feel an immediate sense of relief after pulling your hair out, whether you do it knowingly or unknowingly. Some also bite, chew or eat the pulled-out hair. Not breaking this bad habit can lead to hair loss, bald spots, tissue damage, and even gastrointestinal distress from eating pulled hair. Hair-pulling hypnosis can provide relief and control of this condition.
Overeating and Binge Eating
Overeating and binge eating food often happen without any conscious effort, especially during holidays or gatherings. But soon enough, and unknown to most of us, it can lead to an unhealthy relationship with food. These poor eating habits are also a result of using food for comfort to manage stress, emotions, and other unsettling experiences. This habit has the potential to turn into an addiction disorder, but it can be prevented with hypnosis to change eating habits.
Procrastinating
Procrastination, or delaying tasks unnecessarily, is a common struggle most of us face. It’s a compulsive habit to push tasks by choosing short-term comfort over long-term productivity. Procrastinating isn’t about being lazy, but about avoiding discomfort that stems from fear of failure, success, perfectionism, or lack of clarity on how to begin. Using hypnosis to stop procrastinating can address the emotional triggers and mental habits that sustain this behaviour.
Common Issues We Address with Hypnosis for Breaking Bad Habits
In my hypnosis for bad habits sessions, learn how to manage the urges of going back to your old habits and learn how to successfully break them.
Uncontrollable Urges
Hypnosis for bad habits addresses the subconscious root cause of your urges to engage in a habit and reprogrammes your mind to respond to these impulses in a different way, helping you avoid them for good.
Feelings of Guilt or Shame
Many bad habits are accompanied by feelings of remorse or embarrassment which can reinforce the pattern. Hypnotherapy for habits helps tackle these emotions by nurturing a more understanding and forgiving perspective. Hypnotherapy reduces your feelings of remorse and embarrassment while implementing positive changes, helping you break the habit without the fear of self-judgment.
Struggles to Break the Habit
If you have previously attempted to break a bad habit but failed, hypnotherapy for breaking bad habits might be an approach to try. It operates by targeting that resilient force that prevents you from overcoming a habit. Enhance your chance of success by bringing your subconscious mind in line with your conscious decision to quit the habit.
Habitual Behaviours Triggered by Specific Situations or Emotions
Certain habits are often related to stress, boredom or social cues. Hypnosis for habits assists in altering your reactions to such cues to the point where you do not realise that these cues were there in the first place.
Negative Impact on Relationships or Professional Life
Habits may possibly take a toll on relationships and give a negative social and professional impression. Hypnotherapy, which is a relaxed method of dealing with the problems that make you develop these habits, has been shown to improve people’s interactions with others, decreasing the negative influence of your habit on the people around you.
Anxiety or Stress Associated with Trying to Quit
Giving up a habit can often cause feelings of stress and anxiety. Hypnotherapy for habits provides a gentle approach by promoting calmness and addresses the fears associated with the transition.
Health Problems Arising from the Habit
Certain behaviours, like smoking or overeating, are behavioural consequences directly affecting the health of the individual. Eliminating these toxic behaviour patterns, hypnotherapy can improve an individual’s physical health and quality of life.
Procrastination or Avoidance Behaviours Related to the Habit
Habits are often tied to procrastination or avoidance behaviours, where the habit serves as a distraction from tasks or responsibilities. Hypnosis can help you overcome these avoidance tendencies. By addressing the underlying reasons for procrastination, hypnotherapy helps you engage more fully in productive activities.
Dependency on the Habit for Stress Relief or Comfort
Most habits can be understood as reactions to stress or uncomfortable emotions. Through hypnotherapy, clients are advised on other ways of managing stress, reducing the frequency of the habit. Although the process is aimed at removing the habit, hypnotherapy assists in adopting new strategies to handle the root-cause of the formation of the habit.

How Hypnotherapy Works for Habits
Habits are formed and stored in our subconscious mind. Here we don’t give a second thought about our habitual actions and behaviours as they just happen. But every habit has a trigger, which alerts our subconscious to start performing the habitual action, whether it’s good or bad. So if you want to create a new habit, you need to retrain your subconscious mind.
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis and works on your subconscious mind, which makes it an impactful tool to replace bad or unwanted habits with new, productive ones. Whether you want to change your poor eating habits or stop procrastinating, hypnosis for habits makes it possible to overcome the urges and triggers that keep holding you back.
