Hair pulling or trichotillomania affects a surprising number of people – though it is an issue that is not commonly talked about.
If you suffer from it, you’ll know how hard it is to stop – you’ll also probably know that it is a kind of impulse control disorder that is often associated with stress and anxiety.
Here’s the good news: hypnotherapy for trichotillomania can be incredibly effective.
Your friends may imagine that people like you who pull their hair do it in large clumps – when this isn’t always the case. As with any type of physical reaction to things that bother us or cause us stress – including thumb sucking and nail biting – you’ll know that there are different levels of trichotillomania.
A related condition is called dermatillomania – which you have if you can’t stop picking at your skin.
As a highly-trained Clinical Hypnotherapist with many years of experience helping people with these conditions, I can tell you that just a few sessions may be all that’s needed to see significant, positive change.
Yes – hypnotherapy really is that quick.
I look forward to helping you be calmer and more relaxed.

The cause of hair pulling is usually psychological, so it is often something that can be effectively treated by a skilled hypnotherapist. The psychological factor leads to the compulsion – which often has emotional triggers and associative cues attached, such as watching TV. I address all of these elements during treatment.
When people like you have a problem with pulling their hair compulsively, the net result can be feelings associated with lower self-esteem, such as frustration, embarrassment and of loss of control.
You may pull out your hair to relieve anxiety, but the short lived relief that ensues quickly fades and the problem intensifies – sometimes, sadly, in a very visible way.
Hypnosis helps in many cases. If you want to stop pulling, or if self-induced hair loss is becoming an issue you can no longer ignore, booking an online hypnotherapy session or one that takes place in person couldn’t be easier.
At the moment, I am also offering 10% off all treatment solutions to help people through the current cost of living crisis.
I look forward to helping you soon.

Often shortened to just “trich”, trichotillomania or hair pulling is an overwhelming feeling that someone has to pull out hair. While this usually involves the hair on their head, it can sometimes focus on the eyebrows, eyelashes and body hair, too.
Sometimes, it is seen as a kind of addiction. The more hair you pull out, the more you want to keep doing it. People affected, however, don’t enjoy the effects of their activities – such as bald patches and a poor sense of body image.
Some people try therapies in which they are encouraged to choose an alternative over hair pulling in times of stress or anxiety. However, nothing, in my experience, is as fast or effective as hypnotherapy.
It can help to address the underlying cause of the issue and often uncover why you started pulling in the first place.
It can help a very awkward, often highly stressful habit to become a thing of the past. It can help you to feel in more control of your life.
You pull hair unconsciously – it happens automatically. Hypnotherapy helps you to deal with the emotional triggers behind this.
Your triggers are likely to be stress-related. Perhaps you engage in hair pulling when anxious about something specific, or in the presence of a certain person. During hypnotherapy, we are able to develop alternative reactions to these things and break the cycle that has governed your life so far.
Hypnosis gives you alternative self-soothing strategies and the tools you need to face the future with new hope, giving the scalp time to recover and a new life to begin.
The first thing we’ll do is have a complimentary exploratory phone call, lasting up to 20 minutes. During this, you’ll have chance to talk to me about what’s going on, for me to answer your questions and make sure we’re a good fit.
Before your actual session, you’ll fill in a detailed questionnaire that will help me understand your symptoms, habits, history and patterns of hair pulling, for example. This allows me to tailor your treatment plan and ensures that the time you spend in the session itself is used as effectively as possible.
Over the course of your 90-minute session, you will feel calm and in control, and I’ll use a combination of the most effective modern and classic hypnotherapeutic tools and techniques (including Havening and NLP techniques).
Hopefully, you now feel reassured about the hypnotherapy process – and feel ready to take the next step. In most cases, you’ll need only a single session or a couple of sessions to be better.
Each session will be 90-minutes long. This means we achieve so much more than you can in the traditional 50-minute ‘therapy hour’ that most therapists provide. For many clients, online hypnotherapy sessions are the quickest and easiest way to address a specific problem and to get the treatment they need.
