# Anne McLaird Therapy

Anne McLaird Therapy, based in Newton Abbot, specialises in cognitive hypnotherapy to help clients overcome anxiety, stress and related conditions that impact their quality of life. Anne holds professional credentials including an LLB (Hons), DipCHyp, MNLP and QCHPA qualification.

The practice serves individuals from all backgrounds who are seeking professional support to regain control and live their lives well. Anne works with clients experiencing anxiety and stress—whether rooted in personal circumstances or work-related pressures—guiding them at a pace suited to their individual needs.

What sets Anne McLaird Therapy apart is its commitment to an evidence-based, personalised approach. Rather than labelling clients or applying generic solutions, cognitive hypnotherapy recognises that each person experiences anxiety differently. The Quest Cognitive Hypnotherapy (QCH) methodology, which Anne practises, launched a unique research project in 2011 demonstrating measurable outcomes for clients with anxiety and depression using standardised assessment measures.

Anne's own life-changing experience with hypnotherapy—triggered when a close family member developed acute OCD requiring specialist hospital treatment—provides genuine insight into the transformative potential of this therapeutic approach. This personal understanding, combined with her professional training and evidence-based methodology, enables her to offer clients meaningful support in moving from feeling lost and out of control to a safer, more comfortable place where they can reclaim their lives.
