Anne McLaird
NLP Practitioner in Newton Abbot

I trained as a Cognitive Hypnotherapist after seeing the life changing transformation a Quest trained therapist made with a close young family member that was living with acute OCD.  He had spent almost a year in a London hospital but was discharged home as they were unable to make any changes in his condition.

His OCD took a huge toll, not only on him but his mother and extended family. As anyone that has experienced OCD either first hand or as a family member you will understand that it is one of the most debilitating conditions to live with.

While looking for alternative support my daughter, purely by chance, got in touch with a Quest trained therapist. After four sessions, the OCD was gone completely.  There have been no regressions and he now lives a full and happy life.  After seeing the effects of this treatment, I knew had to complete the training myself to be able to offer help transform the lives of others.

Cognitive Hypnotherapy considers each client to be unique and each client will experience their own individual protective behaviour - which could be Anxiety, Fear, Depression or any other debilitating response to the perception of threat.  We do not label people, but work together to support the client understand what is happening to them when they are triggered into that 'trance state' of protection and re-frame them so that they no longer act as triggers.  I work at the pace of the client and treatment is bespoke, caring and flexible.

A great rapport between client and therapist is essential, in order to achieve this I offer a free 30 minute telephone conversation to be able to answer all the questions that you might have and for you to get to know me and how I can best support you.

My Specialisms

If you are experiencing anxiety in your life, if you feel lost and out of control then I would love to be able to help you. I work with people who often feel overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. Guiding clients to a safer, more comfortable place, is what I am trained to do as a QCH Therapist. Anxiety does not need to be in your life - whether it's connected to work, school or some other area - we can work together at your pace to make life what you want it to be.

Approach to NLP & How I Work

Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy is a very gentle therapy. The best thing about it is that each person is considered as an individual. Everyone is different, but together we can work to resolve your issues in a way that is patient, constructive and safe. You might be surprised by how quickly you begin to see changes that mean you can live your life in the way that you want - free of limiting beliefs and restricting behaviours.

Additional Rate Information

How much does it cost? Each session costs £95 and we generally have a session every 2 weeks. Sessions can be in person or online. I like to offer a free initial telephone consultation so that we can discuss your needs and I can answer any queries you might have. Choosing the right therapist is important and I do not take on everyone who approaches me. The service I offer is bespoke. I give you care, support and understanding. Together we work on creating change. If you are ready for change and ready to commit to the process then we can begin. You may need only two or three, or you may need several sessions over a period of months. On average though, most people need 3-6 sessions. We want to make sure that change is permanent for you.
