Accredited Hypnotherapy - Tayma Wallbridge

Profile

I am an accredited clinical hypnotherapist qualified to treat the following concerns: anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, depression, stress, high blood pressure, insomnia, low confidence, low self esteem, exam nerves, eating disorders, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, anger management, irritable bowel syndrome, pain management, sports performance, public speaking, fertility, relaxed childbirth and weight loss.

My specialism is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, with which my client and I focus on what they want to achieve, rather than on the problem that prompted them to seek change. This modern and practical approach has been well researched, and results show that it is the most effective form of therapy for those who wish to make positive changes in their lives in a short period of time. The number of sessions any client needs varies, but is always in the hands of the client who will know when they have gained control over the issue they required help with.   For clients who are interested in reducing their High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), Weight Loss or Relaxed Childbirth there are more structured programmes available as follows:

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Over 90% of cases of high blood pressure have no clear medical cause, which means doctors can only work to manage the symptoms, rather than addressing the underlying issue(s). They call it primary, or essential hypertension because there are so many emotional and lifestyle factors that doctors don’t have the time or resources to find the unique combination of factors for each patient. For many people, this means a lifetime of medication, constant uncertainty and worry about their future.

The Hypnotension programme puts YOU back in control because I will work with you to identify and address the emotional and lifestyle factors that are unique to you, and together we can help you to lower or even return your blood pressure to normal levels. The Hypnotension™ programme uses proven cognitive techniques and behavioural coaching to help you ensure that high blood pressure is a thing of the past.

Think about this… even if worst case you only managed a reduction of 2.5/1.4mmHg using the Hypnotension programme, it would still slash your risk of dying from a stroke by 12-14% and heart disease by 9-10%.

We can work in conjunction with GP’s to help you back to a better health. This means that even if you are using medication to lower or control your high blood pressure you can still use the Hypnotension™ programme to address the underlying hypertension factors.

As your blood pressure reduces naturally, your GP may feel able to reduce your medication over time whilst monitoring your blood pressure.

The Weight Loss Programme

Losing weight can become a lifelong project for many who try one diet after another, losing weight and then putting it back on.Dieting is actually a harmful habit because when we restrict our choice of foods, our subconscious mind receives the message that food is in short supply and we may be starving.As a consequence we feel a greater need to eat and our metabolic rate slows down. And then once the diet is over we are likely to put the weight back on as our subconscious mind sends out instructions to stock up now that food is plentiful again.We don’t need this battle with food and it is entirely possible to eat the foods you choose, when you choose and still get slimmer.

The Weight Loss Programme combines structured solution-focused sessions with powerful hypnotherapy suggestions to make controlling your eating a pleasure. The programme consists of 8 sessions spread over 16 weeks and it will gradually re-educate you to recognise your body's natural signals so that you will regain control over your eating, control over your weight and control over your life.

Self-Hypnosis for Childbirth

Mothers-to-be who learn the enjoyable and effective techniques of self hypnosis are so much more able to benefit from a relaxed labour, having eliminated the anxiety with which many women approach the birth of their baby.When we feel anxious our subconscious mind responds by tensing muscles and releasing stress chemicals causing us to perceive birthing sensations as painful.However through the techniques of relaxation and visualization known as ‘self hypnosis’, women are able to eliminate any anxiety and this can result in an enjoyable, shorter and more comfortable birth needing fewer or no drugs.

Additional benefits include more restful sleep before and after the birth, less heartburn and lower blood pressure.

A typical Self-Hypnosis for Childbirth Programme would consist of 5 sessions ideally, but not necessarily, beginning in the fourth month of pregnancy.

I work with clients of all ages in discreet, comfortable premises in the village of Castle Eaton, on Monday, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Friday.

On Thursdays I work at the New Hope Association for Therapy and Healing in Swindon.

Castle Eaton is ideally situated for clients from Cricklade (4 miles), Highworth (5 miles), Fairford (5 miles), Swindon (8 miles), Lechlade (9 miles), Cirencester (10 miles), Faringdon (18 miles), Marlborough (19 miles).
