Break Free from Habits and OCD Patterns with Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy Online in London
Helping you move beyond unhelpful habits, compulsions, and intrusive thoughts.
What Are Habits?
Habits are repetitive patterns of behaviour that can be difficult to stop. Not all habits are negative, but those that impact your health, relationships, or daily life can leave you feeling stuck, ashamed, or out of control.
You may recognise yourself in one or more of the following:
- Repeating routines or rituals that feel impossible to stop
- Constantly checking things or arranging items to feel “just right”
- Experiencing intrusive thoughts or mental images
- Feeling trapped in perfectionism or fear of making mistakes
- Hiding your habits from others
- Feeling overwhelmed, guilty, or ashamed
What Is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition involving distressing, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviours or mental rituals (compulsions). These patterns are often driven by stress, anxiety, or moments of panic that make the urge to act or repeat behaviours feel impossible to resist.
Common examples include:
- Fear of contamination (e.g. excessive cleaning)
- Fear of harm (e.g. checking locks or appliances repeatedly)
- Intrusive, unwanted thoughts
- Needing symmetry, order, or perfection
While everyone has the occasional unwanted thought or behaviour, OCD is different: it can take over your day, cause deep distress, and affect your ability to function.
How Can Hypnotherapy Help with Habits and OCD?
Hypnotherapy helps by working with your subconscious mind in a calm, structured way. Sessions focus on building future-focused change through a combination of guided relaxation, neuroscience-informed tools, and supportive conversation.
Benefits of hypnotherapy for OCD and unwanted habits:
- Interrupt repetitive thought loops
- Reduce anxiety and regain calm
- Ease feelings of stress and panic
- Reframe unhelpful patterns and responses
- Feel more in control of your behaviours
- Sleep better and think more clearly
- Reconnect with your confidence and self-worth
Over time, many clients feel a sense of choice again like a driver instead of a passenger in their own mind.
