Have you ever wondered why you find it impossible to control an old, or more recent habit through will- power alone? This is because the habit pathways formed in the brain create an automatic response in the ‘unconscious mind’. Trying to control a habit consciously then, is very difficult if not impossible.
In the case of nail biting, to give you an example, while watching TV and even before your conscious mind is even aware, your fingers are already in your mouth and you are biting your nails. This may be the case for many other habits including hair -pulling, skin, spot, nose - picking, teeth grinding (bruxism), thumb sucking, bed-wetting, joint cracking, and smoking to name a few.
Hypnotherapeutic techniques such as Habit Reversal helps to re-wire this conditioned response within the deeper unconscious mind. There is a lot of scientific evidence to support this process and how effective it is at removing unwanted habits. Hypnotherapy combined with CBT will also help you to de-sensitise any triggers and become aware of deeper associations such as boredom, stress, lack of confidence, TV, anxiety, in order to break this vicious cycle.
Hypnotherapy has been proven as a very effective tool in removing unwanted habits. A couple of sessions can give you the freedom of no longer feeling embarrassed, putting you back in control.

Hypnotherapy is not like what you see on films, or a swinging watch! Its meditation allowing you to delve into your subconscious and think about your triggers, feelings and emotions which become apparent in your everyday life, either in actions or behaviours. There is a CBT element to this practice which is what you take with you when you leave a session - this has been the most effective part in helping me to stop biting my nails and I continue not to bite!
Ms M.LNail Biting (aged 9) Anita immediately connected with my son from the first call. He felt totally at ease and that helped him with the exercises. He was so happy and determined to stop biting his nails, from the first call. We have continued to use the audio recording a few times a week which have also been great to help relax him and remind him of the strategies that Anita taught him. Thank you, again

Anita has helped me immensely to grow in confidence especially when Public Speaking. I now feel in control of my anxiety rather than anxiety controlling me’. I was sceptical at first but hypnotherapy and CBT helped me to believe in myself.
Mr MI am so thankful that I decided to contact Anita for dealing with a narcissist. I was in a really toxic relationship for four years, which left me feeling really lost and confused about whether I should stay in this relationship or go. My instincts kept telling me to leave over the last few years but I ignored it - hoping and praying that things will improve.
Anita helped me open my eyes and see all the red flags in the relationship which I brushed under the carpet. I’ve learnt so many valuable lessons about myself, my personality type and different attachment styles and how this affects relationships. Anita gave me so much knowledge and as a result I found the courage to leave the unhappy situation.
Anita taught me how I can be happy by improving my self esteem and confidence which I lost whilst I was with him- I now finally understand it’s all about self love and the hypnotherapy really helped with that.
I highly recommend Anita as she is extremely professional, knowledgable and very easy to talk to! She has such a calm, soothing voice which helps anyone feel at ease! I honestly feel like I’ve found a friend in Anita- a friend who saved me from ruining my life with a narcissist.
