Namita Bhatia

I use an evidence-based and personalised approach, drawing on Habit Reversal Training (HRT), the Comprehensive Behavioural (ComB) Model and Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy. Together, we explore what triggers and maintains the hair pulling, develop practical ways to manage urges and build healthier coping strategies that help you feel more in control.

I am an NCPS accredited Psychotherapist, Counsellor and a CNHC, GHR accredited Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist with over a decade of experience supporting adults, children and young people. I have a particular interest in helping people affected by trichotillomania and understand how distressing, frustrating and isolating hair pulling can feel. My approach is compassionate, collaborative and free from judgement. Together, we explore the individual patterns, emotions and situations connected to the hair pulling, before developing practical strategies to manage urges and create lasting change. Therapy is always tailored to the person, helping you feel understood, supported and more confident in managing the behaviour.
