Biography Q&A

Hi, I’m Valina.

I’m a Transformational Coach and Certified Hypnotherapist, specialising in Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT).

Through Coaching and Hypnotherapy, I support ambitious women who appear to have everything together on the outside, yet inside feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from themselves.

Perhaps part of you already senses that the patterns you’ve been living through no longer feel true to who you are becoming.

You may work hard, achieve a lot and still quietly question yourself underneath it all. Maybe, you constantly overthink, struggle to slow down or feel unable to fully switch off without guilt. You know you are capable, yet self-doubt, pressure and the need to keep proving yourself continue to follow you. Some women reach a point where the version of themselves they’ve been trying to maintain no longer feels sustainable or fulfilling. Gradually, reconnecting with yourself begins to matter more than continuing to push through.

Imagine moving through life with more clarity, steadiness and self-trust. Feeling calmer within yourself. Being able to slow down without guilt and make decisions without constantly second-guessing yourself. You create more balance in your daily life, feeling more present in your relationships, your work and yourself. Life begins to feel lighter, more meaningful and more aligned with who you truly are. At the end of the day, you feel more at peace within yourself rather than constantly running on pressure and expectation.

Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing where to begin.

I offer two personalised programmes depending on where you are in your journey and the type of support you're looking for. You can choose between a 6-week experience combining Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT) and Coaching to work with the subconscious patterns underlying one main issue, or a longer-term Transformational Coaching programme focused on conscious awareness, reflection and change over time.

RTT + Coaching Unbecoming™ Signature Experience – £515

My Signature Programme is a focused 6-week experience designed to work on one main issue or recurring pattern at a deeper, subconscious level.

It includes a 45-minute Strategy Intake, an RTT session of up to 2 hours, a personalised audio to support the work between sessions and three 40-minute Integration and Transformational Coaching sessions spread across the remaining weeks.

RTT is a form of hypnotherapy that works with the subconscious mind to explore the beliefs, experiences and patterns that may be influencing how you think, feel and respond today. The coaching that follows helps you integrate what has shifted and bring those changes into everyday life.

Transformational Coaching Unbecoming™ Programme – £915

This is a longer-term coaching experience for those who want the space to explore different areas of their life, recognise recurring patterns and create meaningful change over time without hypnotherapy.

It includes eight 60-minute Transformational Coaching sessions, usually held fortnightly over approximately four months, with a follow-up email after each session to support your progress between our calls.

Rather than focusing on one main issue, our work can evolve with you, giving us the time to explore different challenges, goals and areas of your life as they arise.

Which programme is right for me?

The 6-week Signature Experience may suit you if you have one particular issue or recurring pattern you want to explore at a deeper, subconscious level and you're open to using both RTT and coaching.

The 8-session Transformational Coaching Programme may be a better fit if you want to work more consciously with your thoughts, patterns, choices and behaviours over time, with the space to explore different areas of your life as they unfold.

You don't need to know which programme is right for you before getting in touch.

During your free, no-obligation consultation call, we can talk about what you're experiencing, what you'd like to change and which approach may best support you.

I understand how easy it is to lose yourself while trying to hold everything together.

My own journey hasn’t been straightforward.

One of the most life-changing decisions I ever made was working with a coach. It helped me better understand myself, shift long-standing patterns and reconnect with what truly mattered to me.

Although my busy lifestyle once looked fulfilling from the outside, repeated burnout and eventually an autoimmune diagnosis (RRMS) became a wake-up call to completely reevaluate my relationship with myself and the way I was living.

That experience later led me to train as both a coach and hypnotherapist, deepening my understanding of the connection between emotional wellbeing, subconscious patterns and lasting change.

I don’t approach this work as someone who has everything figured out.

I approach it as someone who genuinely understands how difficult it can feel to lose yourself in pressure, performance and expectation — and how possible it is to find your way back.

You and I are not so different.

And I truly believe change becomes possible when we begin meeting ourselves with greater honesty, compassion and awareness.

My Reviews

Maria, Athens, Greece

My inability to manage my anxiety and fears led me to reach out to Valina for help. Her approach was professional, yet at the same time warm and familiar, creating a safe space where she could truly understand my struggles and support me through them. When our sessions came to an end — especially the hypnotherapy session — I felt more relieved, aware and emotionally lighter. I wholeheartedly recommend working with her to anyone seeking support in overcoming the challenges and difficulties that affect us all at different stages of life.

Marina, London, United Kingdom

At a crucial and complex stage in my career, I was feeling pulled in many directions — by work, family, social pressure, and outside interests — while seeking clarity on my next professional move. Valina guided me through this journey so naturally. Her exceptional listening skills stood out; she could effortlessly link all my thoughts and comments into a clear, actionable plan. I truly appreciated her personable nature, which made it easy to trust her with my future. Her thoughtful follow-up emails after every session were invaluable, reinforcing our discussions and ensuring I stayed on track. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident in the decisions I made and in the direction my career is now heading. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach!

Carla, London, United Kingdom

Valina is a really special and magical soul, she appeared like a guardian Angel when I could feel my mind slipping into some very bad habits. I hadn’t had any kind of therapy in a while, and Valina has reminded me how effective it can be. She has made me feel hopeful and softly helped me reconnect with my mind in a healthier way. Valina truly cares and I can see that helping others is a real passion of hers. I can’t rate her enough.

Alejandra, Madrid, Spain

My mindset completely changed when I started having sessions with Valina. Her attentiveness is impeccable and she makes you feel instantly comfortable, listened to and validated. She really makes you feel and believe that anything is possible and there is a huge potential in you. She would never judge you and she is always there to support you. She made me believe in myself again! Thanks to her I learned that everyone is valid and she made me see my full potential. Valina is light and she feels like 'home'; that's how she makes you feel. Protected and loved.

Daniela, London, United Kingdom

Valina has a very warm, fun, welcoming and strong positive energy. Having sessions with her made me feel brighter and stronger but at the same time relaxed and cared for. Valina is an absolutely unique and gorgeous woman, with strong intuition and empathy, always open to explore anything that comes up to a session and very easy to bring clarity to my thoughts. The one of the few people I have met, who with her words makes a big impact. Valina, you saw potential in me when I was at my lowest and I can with all my confidence say that it changed the direction of my life. You motivated me to follow my dream career and you did it in such an empowering way. I will be forever grateful to you for this, I am definitely on the right path now because of you.

Natalie, Edinburgh, Scotland

Valina is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. We connected immediately. What is special about her is that you can completely trust that she is fully present with you every time she coaches you. It is a joy to speak to a coach who has her degree of presence and intuition. She was able to see through the story I was telling her, by recognising and challenging my underlying blocks/fears, and was able to reconnect me with my passion. On many occasions she has been able to reconnect me to my values and focus my scattered mind to what actually matters. I have complete trust in her investment in me and my growth, and in her confidentiality. This means that I feel safe exploring the parts of myself that are difficult to explore alone under her guidance. She never fails to direct me to new insights about myself and my life, which inevitably lead to a feeling of growth and progress and joy. Thank you Valina.

Amanda, London, United Kingdom

Working with Valina has supported me to boost my confidence, I am much better at setting my boundaries and seeing my own value, and I no longer let the imposter syndrome eat me up. Ultimately: I took the step to quit my job without knowing what to do next. I feel excited about this new chapter in my life where I will explore what’s next for me.

Sophie, Sweden

Valina gently but assertively guided me from feeling stuck and limited, to reaching for my dream in a very short space of time. She gave me practical goals to get me there and a no judgment, level of support with a very complicated family dynamic. She taught me to break out of my negativity bias and to ask for what i truly want. I thought I had to quit the job to reach the dream and it turned out that I could have both. I now write this sitting in the Swedish countryside, having cultivated the work / life / creative balance I have always yearned for.
