When was the last time you put yourself first?
It’s easy to put other people first. For many of us it’s instinctive. That’s fantastic, until you find you have given so much to others there is nothing “left in the tank”. Balancing paid work with unpaid tasks like childcare, and keeping the house running smoothly can be challenging. You come home wrung out from work. Exhausted. So who’s going to do the supper and sort out everything around the house? Lunches need to be made for tomorrow. You don’t want to disappoint so, somehow, you dig deep to find that extra reserve at the cost of your own health.
Ignoring your health can cause tiredness, sickness, or burnout. It makes it harder to look after others. When you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally exhausted, you can lose empathy, patience, and problem-solving skills.
When you prioritise self-care, you set an example for others, showing them that it's acceptable—and indeed important—to take time for themselves. It helps you manage stress effectively, so you're less likely to become reactive or overwhelmed when others need your help.
Self-care is essential, not selfish. When you look after yourself, you're better able to help others with energy and kindness. This leads to a positive cycle that benefits both you and the ones you care for.
Have you made positive changes, but they never seem to stick?
It‘s easy to start something new with the best intentions whether the incentive is a New Year’s resolutions, preparation for a special event like a wedding or a holiday, or perhaps seeing someone else’s achievements. So why is it that, despite a great start, we tend to hit a wall and the changes just won’t stick?
The conscious mind holds onto what it knows, while you want to change for the better. This conflict exists because our brains like safety and efficiency. They see the familiar as safe and the unfamiliar as risky, even if change could be great for you. To overcome this, you need to persuade the brain to think differently as something to seek out and get excited abour rather than something to fear or resist.
Hypnotherapy can change how you see change, turning it into a chance for personal growth instead of something to avoid. It helps you reshape your thinking for success, confidence, and positivity.
It’s time to implement lasting change
You can change your thinking at any point in your life. Together we can identify the beliefs holding you back from making positive changes.
The subconscious mind is where automatic habits, fears, and limiting beliefs are stored. Hypnotherapy allows you access to this level of the mind, making it possible to identify and alter unhelpful patterns.
The subconscious controls a lot of our actions, and if it believes that change is harmful, it builds mental blocks that are tough to break with just willpower. Hypnotherapy allows you to talk directly to the subconscious, making it easier to change these deep beliefs. It can effectively tackle stubborn thought patterns and reduce the subconscious's fear of change.
Hypnotherapy supports long-term behavioural and mindset changes by addressing the source of the issue. These changes only get stronger with time, as the positive results reassure your subconscious that it is doing the right thing.
Everything can change when your thoughts change.
This is for you if…
You are ready to be the star of your own story.
You are ready to make some time for yourself, without guilt.
You want to increase motivation and excitement for new opportunities.
You want to overcome deeply rooted resistance quickly compared to conscious effort alone.
You want to make long-term behavioural and mindset changes by addressing the source of the issue.
Why I don’t offer one off calls
A single session doesn’t leave lasting change. It might give a temporary fix, but the chances are you’ll be back where you started within a few months.
To get to the root of an issue achieve lasting change, takes two or more sessions.
As a result I offer packages of 2, 4 or 6 sessions.
Sessions start from £85, however I offer free 20 minute consultations, which you can book below to see what options work for you.

Much happier and sleeping well
I got in touch with Antonia and found her reassuring manner and quiet voice very comforting and handed myself over to her. That night I slept quickly, deeply, had happy dreams and was looking at life with an overwhelming sense of hope and positivity!
SHARON, EDINBURGH
Coming to terms with grief
I had recently lost my beloved sister after a long battle with cancer, and hadn’t been able to sleep for months.
I found it an amazing experience , I just let go and that night, I slept for 8 hrs straight through!! It was the first step to the healing process and although I’m still grieving, I am coming to terms with my loss. Thankyou Antonia.
In a nutshell, hypnotherapy gets right down to the root cause of your issue, rather than just treating the symptoms.
Many people seek out medication or take time off work because of various issues, both of which can be great short term solutions. However, this doesn’t clear the cause of the problem - it just takes it away for a while. When you stop the medication or go back to work, the issue reappears.
Hypnotherapy can benefit you in the long term, in a way that these short term strategies cannot. Hypnotherapy teaches you new ways to respond to challenges in your life naturally and gives you strategies to deal with them, as well as any similar situations that may occur in the future.
Build a toolbox to help you conquer any challenge!
