MARTA ENCHEVA-MALINOVA

Hypnotherapist & Rapid Transformational Therapy Practitioner

Believe. Dare. Become.

Believe that change is possible.
Dare to take the first step.
Become the version of yourself you choose to be.

Sometimes, knowing what you want to change is not enough. Hypnotherapy offers a way to look beneath familiar patterns, understand what may be keeping them in place and begin creating new ways of thinking, feeling and responding.

Maybe you are here because…

Sometimes you know exactly what you want to change.
Sometimes you simply know that you want something to feel different.

Move beyond self-doubt, perfectionism or fear of failure and feel more confident when you speak, perform, lead or step into something new.

Find more calm and steadiness when overthinking, worry, self-doubt or emotional overwhelm start to take over.

Work with a fear that is limiting where you go, what you do or how freely you live.

Change patterns such as emotional eating, smoking or procrastination, and build a healthier relationship with food, your body and yourself.

Understand recurring relationship patterns, set clearer boundaries and feel more secure, connected and able to express what you need.

Create more calm around sleep when it is hard to switch off, fall asleep, stay asleep or wake feeling rested.

Explore the mind–body connection – how stress, emotions and experiences may influence physical tension, discomfort and the way certain symptoms are experienced.

Make space for grief or the emotional impact of a difficult experience, and find your own way forward.

When nothing is necessarily “wrong”, but you know you want something to change, grow or become possible.

You do not need to know exactly what is holding you back before you begin.

Sometimes, simply knowing that you want something to change – or wanting to discover what could become possible – is enough for the first step.

Supporting women through change

The journey through fertility, pregnancy, birth and motherhood can hold so much – uncertainty, hope, anticipation, vulnerability and profound change. For some women, at the heart of that journey is one deeply personal hope: to one day hold the child they have longed for.

Hypnotherapy can offer a supportive space to work with fear, anxiety, confidence, expectations and the emotional patterns that may become especially present along the way – helping you feel calmer, more connected to yourself and more confident as you move through each stage.

Why can change feel difficult – even when you know what you want?

You may consciously know exactly what you want to change – feel more confident, let go of a fear, change a habit or respond differently – and still find yourself returning to the same familiar reaction.

That is because conscious intention is only part of what shapes the way we think, feel and behave. Experiences, emotions, beliefs and repeated responses can become familiar patterns that operate more automatically over time.

What lies beneath the surface matters.

Iceberg illustration. Above the water, Conscious Awareness: thoughts and intentions, logic and reasoning, goals and decisions, what you consciously want. Below the water, Subconscious Mind and Automatic Patterns: learned emotional responses, habits and automatic reactions, memories and past experiences, beliefs and expectations, protective patterns, learned meanings and associations.

What you consciously want matters. But so does what has become familiar beneath the surface.

This is where hypnotherapy can go deeper.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and inward absorption, often accompanied by relaxation, in which you remain aware and in control. In this state, you can explore experiences, meanings, beliefs and learned responses that may be connected with how you think, feel or respond today.

Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) uses hypnosis in a focused way to understand how a current pattern may have developed, reconsider meanings or associations that no longer serve you, and support more helpful ways of thinking, feeling and responding. RTT® is designed as a focused approach, typically delivered over a limited number of sessions.

Find the pattern. Understand the pattern. Change the pattern.

Meet Marta

I’m Marta Encheva-Malinova, PhD, a hypnotherapist and Rapid Transformational Therapy practitioner with a doctorate in microbiology and molecular biology and a professional background in Health Technology Assessment.

My scientific background has shaped the way I approach this work: with curiosity, attention to detail and respect for the outcomes and experiences that truly matter to each person.

My path to hypnotherapy is also deeply personal. My own experiences as a woman and mother have shaped a particular commitment to supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

What clients say

Anka Aleksic, 45, manager, Slovenia

Working with Marta has been truly transformative. She's warm, gentle, deeply compassionate, and yet also focused, knowledgeable, and wonderfully no-nonsense. She has this beautiful balance: a kind presence, and the mind of a scientist. She believed in me when I struggled to believe in myself and with her support, I let go of emotional attachments to food and felt safer moving through life's transitions. She's generous with praise, sharp, and surprisingly funny. I always felt seen, nurtured, and supported. I can't recommend Marta highly enough.

Mateja Renko, Slovenia

Dear Marta! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for another session and for the invaluable recording that helped me finally find inner peace after decades of fearing medical procedures. While you helped me calm my fears regarding relationships and motherhood during our first meeting, in the second session we managed to take another huge step toward feeling at ease about the concerns and fears that were still lingering in the background. For me personally, the most significant change—aside from all the other wonderful benefits—is that I now view medical procedures from a completely different perspective; I remain calm and trust that everything will be fine should the need arise. This inner peace gives me stability, and I no longer turn potential procedures into a drama about everything that could go wrong. This is one of the best goals I’ve achieved this year, as those fears were so deeply rooted in my conscious and subconscious mind that I simply couldn't manage them on my own. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience! You did a superb job, and I hope everyone with similar experiences finds you; you are truly the right person for the task, as you know how to put someone at ease and guide them—professionally yet gently and firmly—across the bridge to a crucial and truly effective change. You’re a gem!

I had a wonderful RTT session with Marta, and I’m so grateful for her support. She helped me release many of my worries and fears around pregnancy and birth, and I left the session feeling much calmer, lighter, and more confident. She also used a gentle healing approach that helped me feel supported physically as well, particularly with my heart and kidneys, which I really appreciated. One of the things I loved most was the beautiful, personalized recording she created for me. It was tailored specifically to my situation and is helping me continue releasing fears and worries about my pregnancy while reinforcing a sense of calm and trust. Marta has extensive experience working with fertility, pregnancy, and birth, and it really shows. She creates such a safe, caring, and supportive space, and I felt understood throughout the entire session. I highly recommend Marta to anyone looking for support during fertility, pregnancy, or preparing for birth. Her knowledge, compassion, and expertise make her an exceptional therapist. Thank you, Marta! ❤️

I had such a positive RTT session with Marta focused on preparing for birth and releasing fear and anxiety around labour. From the beginning, Marta made me feel completely safe, supported, and understood. She helped me work through many of the worries I had about birth and guided me towards feeling calmer, more confident, and more trusting of my body and the whole process. I especially appreciated how personalised the session was. Marta really listened to my concerns and tailored everything to what I needed, which made the experience feel very genuine and meaningful. After the session, I felt much lighter and more at peace about giving birth. I feel more able to focus on having a calm, safe, and positive birth experience rather than being consumed by fear or thinking about what might go wrong. Marta is incredibly caring, intuitive, and knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend her to any woman who is feeling anxious about labour or preparing for birth. Her support made a real difference to how I now feel about the experience ahead. ❤️
