Compulsive Behaviour
Mental Health Counselling for Compulsive Behaviour in Wolverhampton and Online
Most people think Compulsive Behaviour is the same as Obsessive Behaviour, but this is not quite correct.
As a rule of thumb, Compulsive Behaviour is undertaken, often with little thought, on impulse or with a sense of having been ‘driven’ to it, and instant relief is felt, frequently there may be some feelings of guilt or shame felt afterwards, but immediate gratification is felt at the time.
With Obsessive Behaviours the impulses and drive may be similar, but this sense of relief, this “instant gratification” is often never experienced.
Compulsive Behaviour comes in many forms, but the ones we most frequently encounter are:
- Overeating
- Smoking
- Compulsive Shopping or Spending
In each of these examples, carrying out the Compulsive Behaviour provides immediate relief, but long term, usually has a negative impact on the persons life!

Types of Compulsive Behaviour Helped
Compulsive Behaviour can range from simple everyday behaviours such as shopping to more reckless behaviours such as self-harming.
One of the issues with compulsions is that most of them undertaken to excess can have very damaging impacts on people’s lives; the compulsive shopper may find themselves heavily in debt or even bankrupt, while the compulsive self-harmer may place their life in jeopardy on a regular basis.
Below you can find a list of typical Compulsive Behaviours that can be helped with Psychology & Psychotherapy treatments here at the Tranceform Clinic in Wombourne.
- Compulsive Shopping
- Compulsive Drinking
- Addictive behaviours (e.g. gambling, misusing drugs or other substances, eating disorders such as bulimia)
- Nail biting which we classify as an “oral” compulsion
- Self-harming compulsions
- Compulsive Eating
- Smoking cigarettes or other substances – Smoking is the worlds most common Compulsive Behaviour!
