Hypnotherapy For Releasing
Unwanted Behaviour
Overcome Unwanted habits, Behaviours, & Thoughts With Hypnotherapy
Unwanted behaviour means something different to everyone. For some, it might be smoking, drinking, nail biting, or gambling. For others, it could be procrastination, emotional eating, constant scrolling on a phone, or snapping at loved ones. Sometimes it’s something so personal or private that you’ve never even said it out loud.
The truth is, any bad habit, unhealthy pattern, unwanted thought, intrusive thought, or compulsive behaviour you no longer want can be seen as unwanted behaviour. Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind, where these patterns are stored, so you can let go of what no longer serves you and feel calmer, freer, and more in control.
It isn’t about willpower, it’s about gently rewiring the mind at the level where the habit was created, so change feels natural and achievable.
Hypnotherapy For Unwanted Behaviours & Bad habits
Unwanted behaviours can show up in many different ways. Some are obvious and disruptive, while others are small but persistent habits that gradually chip away at your confidence or peace of mind. Whatever the habit or behaviour, whether it is an unwanted habit, a compulsive urge, or an unhealthy pattern, hypnotherapy can help you take back control.
Hypnotherapy To Stop Smoking & Vaping
Quitting smoking is one of the most well-known uses for hypnotherapy, and many people now also seek help to stop vaping. You can read more about how I help with this on the Stop Smoking and Vaping page
Hypnotherapy For Weight Loss & Emotional Eating
Hypnotherapy can make a powerful difference for emotional eating, late-night snacking, or food cravings. I cover this in full detail on the Lose Weight page.
Hypnotherapy For Alcohol Addiction & Drug habits
From cutting down drinking to stopping binge drinking, many people find hypnotherapy helps reduce urges and regain control. Some also use it to break free from recreational drug habits such as cannabis or cocaine.
Hypnotherapy For Gambling Addiction
Whether it’s gambling, shopping addiction, or compulsive spending, these behaviours often carry hidden emotional triggers. Hypnotherapy helps quieten the urge and build healthier coping strategies.
Hypnotherapy To Stop Nailing Biting, Skin Picking, & Hair Pulling
Small but stubborn habits like nail biting, skin picking (dermatillomania), hair pulling (trichotillomania), or teeth grinding (bruxism) can feel impossible to stop by willpower alone. Hypnotherapy can gently retrain the subconscious so you feel calm and free of the old urge.
Overcome Procrastination With Hypnotherapy
Putting things off, avoiding tasks, or finding yourself stuck in cycles of procrastination can hold you back in work and life. Hypnotherapy works by releasing the deeper blocks behind the avoidance, so motivation and action flow more naturally.
Hypnotherapy For Anger Management & Controlling Outbursts
If you find yourself snapping, swearing, or losing your temper more than you’d like, hypnotherapy can help you respond more calmly. By working with the subconscious, it becomes easier to pause and choose a different reaction.
Hypnotherapy For Jealousy & Insecurity
These behaviours can be exhausting and damaging in relationships. Hypnotherapy helps by addressing the insecurity or fear that often fuels them, creating space for more trust and balance.
Hypnotherapy For Phone, Gaming, & Social Media
It’s easy to fall into habits with phones, social media scrolling, gaming, binge-watching, or even pornography use. Hypnotherapy helps reduce the urge, so you can feel more present and in control of your time and focus.
Hypnotherapy For Bedwetting, Thumb Sucking, & Childhood Habits
For children and teens, habits like thumb sucking or bed-wetting (enuresis) can be distressing and hard to break. Gentle hypnotherapy can help shift these patterns and support confidence.
Hypnotherapy For Intrusive Thoughts, Overthinking & Negative Thinking
You don’t need to see your behaviour named here for it to count. The phrase unwanted behaviour is designed to cover whatever it is for you. It could be anxiety spirals, intrusive thoughts, unwanted thoughts, racing thoughts, negative thinking, overthinking, sleep issues, avoidance, or a private habit you’ve never shared.
Even if your behaviour feels unusual, embarrassing, or impossible to change, hypnotherapy can help. The name doesn't matter. If it is something you no longer want, it is something we can work with.
If you’ve ever thought “I wish I didn’t do that” or “I don’t know why I can’t stop myself”, then this page is speaking directly to you.

Testimonials
My hypnotherapy sessions with Dan Bennett at Inspirational Minds have been so transformative. Dan is so knowledgeable of how the subconscious mind works & spends the time going through everything before and after the session. Before my sessions with Dan, I was dealing with anxiety, grief, stress and recurring IBS. This has now completely gone, I feel calm & strong. It's nothing short of a miracle, like a switch has been turned back on after stumbling around in the dark for so long. Highly highly recommend.
