Bad Habits
When Habits Start to Get in the Way
Habits often start as a way to soothe stress, pass time or feel better — but over time, they can become automatic, annoying, or even harmful. You might feel like you know it’s a problem, but can’t seem to stop. That’s not weakness — it’s just a pattern that needs rewiring.
Habits I Can Help With
I work with people to address habits like:
- Nail biting or skin picking
- Overeating or constant snacking
- Staying up too late or sleeping in
- Binge-watching or endless scrolling
- Procrastination or avoidance
- Swearing, gossiping, or interrupting
- Smoking or vaping (see separate page for full support)
- Embarrassing behaviours that affect self-esteem
If it’s bothering you or getting in the way of life — it’s worth addressing.
How Therapy Helps Break Habits
Using tools like BWRT® and hypnotherapy, we work directly with the part of the brain that drives habits — the automatic response. You won’t need willpower alone. We’ll explore the emotional triggers behind the behaviour and create new, more helpful responses.
Why Online Therapy Works for Habit Change
You don’t need to feel embarrassed or judged — online sessions are private, supportive and relaxed. You can speak freely and make changes from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace.
What You’ll Gain
You’ll learn how to recognise your triggers, shift your mindset, and build better habits that align with how you want to live. Most importantly, you’ll feel more in control — and more like yourself again.
Frequently Asked Questions
That’s okay — you’re not the only one. I offer a judgement-free space where you can speak openly. Whatever the habit is, I’ve likely heard it before, and I’m here to help, not shame.
Yes — especially if you’ve been relying on willpower alone. Therapy helps you understand why the habit is happening and gives you new tools to respond differently. You don’t have to do it on your own.
Yes. BWRT® works directly with the brain’s automatic responses, which is where habits live. Many clients find it helps them break habits faster than traditional talk therapy.
That’s completely fine. We’ll prioritise what matters most to you and address each habit step by step. Often, changing one habit has a ripple effect on others.
Some people notice changes within a couple of sessions, especially with BWRT®. Others take a little longer. It depends on the habit and how long it’s been around, but we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.
