Struggling with Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling), Skin Picking, or Other BFRBs?

Perhaps you've told yourself countless times that you'll stop, only to find yourself caught in the same cycle again. You may feel frustrated, exhausted, embarrassed, or wonder why it's so difficult to change something you desperately want to stop.
If this sounds familiar, please know that you're not alone.

Hi, I'm Claire

I know how challenging Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs) can be because I've experienced Trichotillomania myself for over 30 years.

I understand the secrecy, the self-criticism, the frustration of wanting to stop but finding yourself pulling or picking again, and the loneliness that can come from feeling as though nobody really understands.

For many people, simply talking to someone who truly "gets it" can be a huge relief.

Today, I combine my lived experience with professional training in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy to support people experiencing hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting and other BFRBs.

My aim is to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about your experiences, feel understood, and begin moving towards positive change.

Together, we'll work towards reducing anxiety, building confidence, and developing a kinder, more compassionate relationship with yourself.

"I feel like Claire has helped me work towards the person I want to be and she's given me the tools I need to keep myself working towards being her."

How I Can Help

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a gentle and positive approach that focuses on where you'd like to be, rather than dwelling on what's wrong.

Together, we'll explore how your mind works, what helps you feel at your best, and how small, positive changes can begin to create lasting differences.

This isn't about becoming perfect.

It's about helping you feel calmer, more in control, and kinder towards yourself.

"Months on, I'm much more positive and calm in difficult situations. I am now grateful to have the tools I need for the future to deal with whatever comes my way."

A Different Perspective

Life doesn't begin when you finally stop pulling, picking, or biting.

It's easy to feel as though life is on hold until things are "fixed". But life is happening now.

While we work towards change, we can also focus on helping you reconnect with the things that matter to you now — your relationships, your confidence, your goals, and your wellbeing.

Because you deserve a meaningful, fulfilling life today, not just at some point in the future.

"Before my hypnotherapy sessions, I was very much lost in a sea of depression and couldn't seem to get myself out of it. Now I notice all the little things I do for myself and feel accomplished whenever I think of what's been good, even if it seems small."

You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone

Your free consultation is simply an opportunity for us to talk about what's been happening for you, answer any questions you may have, and explore whether working together feels right for you.

There is no pressure, no obligation, and no expectation that you have everything figured out.
