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.

Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Hair pulling, skin picking or other repetitive behaviours are not just “bad habits.” They are often ways the nervous system tries to cope with stress, anxiety or overwhelm. Therapy focuses on reducing shame, increasing awareness and building healthier coping tools that actually work.

Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
I approach body-focused repetitive behaviors—such as skin picking, hair pulling, or nail biting—as meaningful responses, often serving as ways the body regulates tension or unmet emotional needs. Together, we explore what these behaviors are expressing and the patterns behind them. Through increased awareness and a more compassionate relationship with oneself, change can emerge in a way that is both sustainable and respectful.

Ashleigh Bell
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Qualifying
Hair pulling, skin picking, or nail-biting can feel automatic and embarrassing. I offer a non-judgmental space to understand the emotional and sensory triggers behind these behaviours and introduce practical strategies to reduce harm, increase awareness, and respond to urges in gentler ways.
