I help people who have been used to shrinking themselves (emotionally, creatively or socially). to let go of anxiety and overwhelm, reconnect with their inner worth, and discover new possibilities for their life.
My work is for people who learned to hide who they really are in order to feel safe, accepted or successful, and who are now ready to rediscover and express a fuller version of themselves.
Through psychologically informed and transformational tools, I help people move from self-doubt and constriction towards greater confidence, happiness and freedom.
The support I offer
I combine Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (a blend of CBT and hypnosis) with coaching and transformational tools.
Together we'll:
-
Untangle the messages you received about yourself and the habitual patterns you've been carrying
-
Explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours behind self-doubt, stress and anxiety
-
Rebalance your nervous system, to find a sense of inner grounding and calm
-
Rediscover who you are and what you want out of life
-
Build confidence to show up in ways that feel true to you.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate and socially-aware. I believe in doing the hard work of personal growth, but also in feeling good and having fun.
I’m interested not only in helping people to survive and "cope" with life, but to claim more for themselves.

“I liked your calm listening approach. You let me talk about my experience without trying to change it, and you gave me choices and suggestions."
- Deborah, Brighton
I work with thoughtful, creative people who:
• Often feel “not good enough”
• Hide parts of themselves to fit in
• Hold themselves back from how they want to be
• Feel drained by performing, or people-pleasing
• Know there is more beyond "survival mode"
Often my clients are people who:
• Grew up "different" in some way... with an identity, body or brain that doesn't fit the norm
• Internalised familial and social messages that told them they were "wrong"
•Lacked role models who affirmed their right to be
I'm Maria Antoniou (she/her)...
A Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist supporting people to expand beyond self-doubt, self-silencing and anxiety to build a bigger, more joyful life.
I support people whose confidence has been shaped - and shaken - by the messages they’ve received from family, culture, and society about who they are and who they’re supposed to be.
My practice is built on creating welcoming, safe spaces where every person feels included, valued, and supported.
We work together to help them feel calm, connected and comfortable with who they are, envision their purpose and potential, and allow themselves to expand and be seen.
