# Trichotillomania Coach - London W10 6NE

Anne Thornton Patterson is an experienced hypnotherapist and published author operating from West London, specialising in resolving complex behavioural and psychological issues through clinical hypnotherapy. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, her practice focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes driving unwanted behaviours such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), addictions, eating disorders and sleep disturbances.

Her methodology combines deep relaxation techniques with targeted hypnosis, supported by personalised recordings of each session for continued benefit. She serves busy, successful professionals who recognise they need specialist support to overcome personal challenges but may be hesitant about hypnotherapy. Her approach prioritises client comfort, with options for preliminary Zoom consultations to address concerns and explain the process before committing to face-to-face appointments.

What distinguishes this practice is the emphasis on root cause analysis. Rather than simply providing behaviour modification tools, sessions explore the stress, anxiety, phobias or emotional triggers underlying presenting issues. This holistic approach yields broader life improvements beyond symptom resolution. Her credentials include media features on ITV, BBC Radio 4, Cosmopolitan and other established publications, establishing credibility within the hypnotherapy field. She maintains strict confidentiality protocols and implements comprehensive pre-appointment procedures including medical questionnaires and Covid protocols to ensure client safety and optimal treatment outcomes.
