Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
If you find yourself pulling your hair, picking at your skin, biting your nails, or engaging in other repetitive behaviours that feel hard to stop, you are not alone. Body-focused repetitive behaviours often develop as a way to manage stress, anxiety, boredom, or nervous system overwhelm. They can provide temporary relief but leave you feeling frustrated, ashamed, or out of control afterward.
At Selah Counselling, we approach these behaviours with compassion and curiosity, not judgment. Together, we explore what is driving the behaviour beneath the surface. We examine triggers, emotional patterns, and nervous system regulation while developing practical tools to interrupt the cycle. Our work focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening coping skills, and helping your body feel safer without relying on habits that cause distress. The goal is not simply to stop the behaviour, but to understand it and support lasting change from the inside out.

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours (BFRBs), such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (excoriation disorder), or nail biting, are more than just habits. These behaviours often develop as a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions and can become difficult to control. At Trickett Psychotherapy & Counselling, we help adults and young adults understand the underlying triggers, develop healthier coping strategies, and reduce the cycle of shame and frustration. We offer therapy for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours in Guelph and secure online therapy across Ontario. Contact us today to book your consultation and take the first step toward lasting change.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Body-focused repetitive behaviours can include hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, or other repetitive actions that can feel difficult to control or stop. These behaviours are often coping strategies that develop in response to anxiety, stress, overwhelm, emotional distress, or nervous system dysregulation. While they may offer short-term relief, they can also lead to feelings of shame or frustration over time.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore the patterns and triggers that contribute to these behaviours, building greater awareness and understanding without judgment. This insight helps create space for change, while also supporting self-compassion and reducing the cycle of shame that often maintains the behaviour.
We’ll work on developing practical and sustainable strategies for anxiety management, emotional regulation, and nervous system support. I draw from somatic therapy approaches, IFS, ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, DBT, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), tailoring our work to your needs and readiness.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to learn more about my approach.
