About Trichotillomania

Often shortened to just “trich”, trichotillomania or hair pulling is an overwhelming feeling that someone has to pull out hair. While usually this involves the hair on their head, eyebrows, eyelashes and body hair can sometimes be the focus, 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.

Searching for solutions to hair pulling

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 people to feel in more control of their life.

How Hypnotherapy for hair pulling can help

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.

Why choose me as your hypnotherapist

I became a hypnotherapist because of a life-changing hypnotherapy session of my own in 2006. This helped me to re-find myself and discover new hope.

So, whatever you’re feeling now, I’ve been in a similar place.

Experience

I am an expert at dealing with anxiety and have completed more than 5,000 sessions of hypnotherapy.

Chemistry

I only work with clients that I believe I can help, want to help and have a good chemistry with.

Speed

Most clients need just two sessions to see a significant improvement. This is quicker than virtually any other therapist.

Reassurance

I am one of the UK’s most reviewed therapists. More than 90% of clients give me a 5-star review.

Trust

Before I saw my very first client, a decade ago, I had completed more than 1,000 hours of training. Unfortunately, any person can call themselves a therapist without any training. Do not put your mental health in the hands of amateurs.

What happens during a hypnotherapy session?

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).

How to book your hypnotherapy session

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.
