Unwanted Habits & Unconscious Behaviours

Do you find yourself engaging in unwanted habits that feel automatic, difficult to control, or even embarrassing? Hypnosis offers a gentle and effective way to address the underlying subconscious patterns that drive these behaviours—helping you regain control, reduce stress, and build healthier responses.

We specialize in using hypnosis to support clients dealing with a range of habitual or unconscious behaviours, including:

• Nail biting – Hypnotherapy helps break the cycle by addressing the emotional triggers and reinforcing healthier coping.
• Hair pulling (Trichotillomania) – Hypnosis can reduce the urge, increase awareness, and promote calming alternatives.
• Skin picking (Dermatillomania) – Hypnosis helps uncover the emotional roots of the behavior and guide the mind toward more soothing outlets.
• Teeth grinding (Bruxism) – Hypnosis can reduce the physical and emotional tension that drives grinding, supporting relaxation and long-term relief.
• Tics and involuntary behaviours – Hypnosis can help manage the severity or frequency of certain motor or vocal tics by promoting self-regulation and emotional calm.
• Compulsive Phone Checking, Gaming and Social Media Use - Hypnosis helps restore balance by reducing urges to check apps, game or scroll by addressing the emotional drivers, allowing you to regain focus, calm, presence, and healthier screentime boundaries. 
• Pornography or Adult Content Habits - Hypnotherapy offers a shame-free, supportive approach to reduce reliance on content for stress relief or emotional escape, rebuild healthy intimacy and self-respect, and shift subconscious associations around arousal and coping.
• Clutter, Hoarding and Difficulty Letting Go - Hypnotherapy can help address underlying fears or emotional trauma related to scarcity or lose, reframe attachment to objects, and support clarity, organization, and inner calm.
• Other unconscious behaviours – These might include jaw clenching, repetitive movements, pacing, or other nervous habits that seem beyond conscious control. Hypnosis increases awareness of triggers and replaces old patterns with healthier responses.

Unwanted habits often originate in the subconscious as coping mechanisms for stress, boredom, or emotional discomfort. Hypnosis works by accessing that subconscious space—helping to reframe the mind’s association with the habit, release the need for it, and create new mental pathways that support calm, awareness, and control.

Sessions are tailored to your unique needs and challenges, and progress is typically noticeable within just a few sessions. You remain fully in control throughout the process, and the goal is always to empower you—not just to stop a habit, but to understand and change the patterns that feed it.
