Angela Jones OCD and Anxiety Treatment Centre
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW Registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
BFRBs such as hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting can feel impossible to control and often come with feelings of shame or frustration. I provide evidence-based treatment including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Habit Reversal Training (HRT) and elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My goal is to help you build awareness, reduce harmful patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies so you can feel more in control and compassionate toward yourself.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Unwanted body focused repetitive behaviours often originate in the subconscious mind as coping mechanisms for stress, boredom, or emotional discomfort. Hypnosis works by accessing that subconscious space and helping to reframe the mind’s association with the habit, release the need for it, and create new mental pathways that support calm, awareness, and control.

Selah Counselling, Mediation, and Training Center
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.
