About me
Change is possible and it might be easier than you think.
If you're ready to move forward with confidence, leaving behind anxiety, trauma or unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy could be exactly what you've been looking for.
At Bon Accord Hypnotherapy in Banchory, I offer in-person and online sessions in a calm, supportive environment where both adults and young people can take positive steps at a pace that suits them.
This modern, evidence-based approach is rooted in neuroscience and focuses on solutions rather than problems. You’ll learn how to:
- Break free from destructive thinking and habits
- Build confidence and resilience
- Understand how the brain works and how to use it to move forward
- Let go of the past without needing to revisit traumatic memories
Therapeutic hypnosis may surprise you. Clients often describe it as a deeply relaxing, empowering state, like a calm, focused daydream. You remain in control at all times. There's no mind control or stage tricks, just a safe, quiet space to reconnect with your own inner resources.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help clients to cope better with a wide range of issues, including:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Low self-esteem or confidence
- Sleep difficulties
- Unhelpful habits
- Exam or performance nerves
- Coping with or moving on from life challenges
I’m Anne Wyatt, a fully qualified, accredited and insured Solution Focused Hypnotherapist. Since founding Bon Accord Hypnotherapy in 2014, I’ve worked full-time in private practice. I’m also a Senior Lecturer at CPHT Glasgow and Edinburgh Hypnotherapy Training Schools, and I supervise qualified hypnotherapists across the UK.
Before specialising in hypnotherapy, I worked for many years as a Speech and Language Therapist and adult trainer within both the NHS and education sectors. With over 30 years' experience helping people grow, learn and overcome challenges, I remain passionate about the work I do.
Many people feel stuck or overwhelmed when they first reach out—this is completely normal. You don’t need to have it all figured out. My role is to help you find clarity, confidence and momentum—even if you don’t feel that yet.
Change is possible and it often starts sooner than you expect.
Reach out for a free, informal call or book an initial consultation. Let’s get your life back on track, in a way that feels right for you.

What clients say (see www.bonaccordhypnotherapy.com/reviews for more)
"For the past 50 plus years I have lived in my own little bubble, low self esteem, anti-social, phobias about food. Bad body image (even though I had several cosmetic procedures). Then one day last November I came across Anne Wyatt hypnotist while browsing the internet. She had a picture of herself with the happiest smiling face. This why I chose her, I had been to several others over the years without much success.
Only after one session with Anne I felt a different person, stronger although I didn't realise this until an incident came about. I felt wonderful. Anne give you the tools to change your life right round.
I have had quite a few sessions with great success. I should liked to have met Anne many years ago, but since I am 67 it wouldn't have been possible.
If anyone is reading this and doesn't want to waste their life like I did I strongly recommend Anne, you will not regret it. She is the happiest calming person. Every time I left the session I was so positive I could have skipped all the way home."
