Meet Your Therapist and Practitioner
And welcome to The Corsham Practice!
My name is Sacha Taylor and I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Supervisor and Hypnobirthing Teacher who is passionate about empowering the people I work with to overcome their issues, fears and challenges so that they can improve their quality of life, be confident in choices they make and find their way towards future success, whether that’s in their personal or professional life, or in preparation for welcoming new babies into the world.
The foundations for The Corsham Practice started in 2011, when I used Solution Focused Hypnotherapy successfully myself to overcome a needle phobia during my pregnancy. A few months later, I discovered Hypnobirthing and it transformed my pregnancy from a fearful, anxious experience to feeling full of knowledge and confidence and having a range of useful tools to navigate labour and enjoy my baby’s birth, very much enhanced by my husband’s active participation and support. Our daughter’s birth was incredible and, using self-hypnosis, my labour lasted only 6 hours and I didn’t need any pain relief whatsoever.
The following year, in 2012, I trained to become a Hypnobirthing Practitioner and set up Serenity Birthing (later rebranded to Pure Hypnobirthing), so I could teach Hypnobirthing to other expectant parents and see them blossom and enjoy empowered birthing experiences too. I became aware early on that my sessions were also helping mums and dads alleviate stress, sleep better generally and reduce anxiety in all areas of their life.
That is why I decided early in 2014 that I wanted to further my training and become a Clinical Hypnotherapist (under the brand Pure Hypnotherapy), so I could help those couples that needed additional support and also extend the help I offer to anyone – not just expectant mums and dads – as I know from experience just how effective and beneficial Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is.
I thoroughly enjoyed training at the acclaimed Clifton Practice in Bristol over the course of 10 months and have seen amazing results with my Hypnotherapy clients ever since – overcoming insomnia, panic attacks, OCD, anger issues and so much more. And I see people from all walks of life – nurses, mechanics, grandmothers, sales executives and travel experts, because anyone in any field can be affected by stress and anxiety.
In 2018, with a view to enhancing the professionalism of Hypnotherapy and supporting colleagues, I furthered my training to become a Supervisor to other Hypnotherapists. Choosing to self-regulate in an otherwise unregulated profession has always been important to me, so I am a member of various organisations that ensure I keep up with Continued Professional Development and Supervision myself. This ensures I run a safe, ethical and professional practice that ultimately benefits the clients that walk through my clinic door and the doors of my Supervisees too.
And I very much practice what I preach too, because I know just how effective a solution-focused approach can be. I continue to use techniques and strategies for myself and my family to great effect, including during various relocations following my husband’s career that took us from Bristol to Cardiff, then to Bath and finally to beautiful Corsham in Wiltshire in 2024. We all know how selling, renting and buying properties is usually regarded as one of the most stressful things we can do in our lives, however this process was actually enjoyable for us as we managed our stress levels so much better and used a variety of techniques to make sure we remained calm and on top of things throughout the relocations.
And so to 2026, evolving and consolidating to bring all my expertise and passion under one roof - having hosted 2 websites (Pure Hypnobirthing & Pure Hypnotherapy) for many years in order to accommodate the different needs of my clients, I am delighted to complete my brand evolution to bring all the work I do under one website, here at The Corsham Practice. This brand reflects my professionalism and dedication to take good care of my clients, whether they need my support with Hypnotherapy, Hypnobirthing or Supervision. If you are interested in working with me, you will find my sessions informative, supportive and enjoyable. I love seeing clients leave each session feeling brighter and more confident and I will always be fully committed to helping them find their unique and individual pathway to reduced stress and clarity towards achieving their goals.
I truly love my job and am passionate about helping people build knowledge and resources, regaining control in their lives, no matter what their challenges or background. I am dedicated to helping them to feel more positive and empowered by the work we do together and if that sounds good to you, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more about how I can help you.
I look forward to working with you!
Kind Words
"The hypnotherapy part of the session is so relaxing and restful, a feeling that stayed with me well beyond the treatment. With Sacha’s invaluable help I am now much improved. On the rare occasion that I feel the anxiety returning I am able to apply the techniques Sacha showed me, they really work and I find as time passes I’m needing to employ them less and less. I now feel confident to do all the things I’ve always enjoyed and am better able to deal with the inevitable stresses. I have no hesitation in recommending Sacha and while I am thrilled that I feel so much better I will miss our sessions.."
Susan - hypnotherapy client
"Sacha's warmth, empathy and openness were invaluable in helping us to benefit fully from the hypnobirthing course and to approach our baby's birth feeling confident, informed and empowered. Having the personal connection and support from Sacha was incredibly valuable to us from the first session all the way up to the birth and beyond."
