Hypnotherapy can be a successful treatment for nail biting as it addresses the underlying subconscious patterns and behaviours that drive the habit. Nail biting is often used as a form of stress relief and hypnotherapy can help individuals to identify and manage the triggers that lead to this behaviour. 

During a hypnotherapy session, a trained hypnotherapist guides the individual into a state of deep relaxation. During this time, they will suggest positive messages and affirmations in order to help alter negative thought patterns that lead to nail-biting behaviour. These suggestions could include visualisations of healthy-looking, well-manicured nails, increased self-confidence or perhaps the ability to manage stress in a more healthy way. 

The hypnotherapist may also help individuals to become more aware of their nail-biting habit and provide them with techniques which interrupt the behaviour. This could include things such as keeping their hands busy with other activities, using bitter-tasting nail polish to deter the biting, or perhaps finding other healthier coping mechanisms for managing stress.

Overall, hypnotherapy is thought to be a powerful tool for helping individuals break their habit of nail biting and develop healthier coping mechanisms to manage their stress and anxiety.
