Atheneia · Hypnotherapy & the Subconscious
Yourmindismorechangeablethanyouthink.
Atheneia explores the subconscious through hypnotherapy, guided meditation and intentional self-development.
The Philosophy
There is more happening beneath the surface.
Much of how we think, feel and behave happens automatically.
Atheneia is about quietening the noise around us, creating space to come back to ourselves and remember who we are.
Through solution-focused hypnotherapy, there is an opportunity to create that space – to understand where you want to go, explore what is possible, and begin moving towards your preferred future.
The Founder
Meet Elena
Elena Hikmet founded Atheneia from a single, quiet conviction: that the mind is far more changeable than we are taught to believe. Her work draws on neuroscience, psychology, hypnotherapy and mind-body practices – held together by curiosity about what lies beneath the surface.
She is less interested in fixing than in understanding. In creating space. In the possibility of change that begins the moment we become curious.
Three Doorways
Ways to work with your mind
Each begins with curiosity. Each creates a little more space between you and the patterns that run beneath them.
Hypnotherapy
Change begins beneath the surface.
One-to-one sessions that explore subconscious patterns, beliefs and automatic responses – gently, and at your own pace.

Words from the Atheneia community
Real experiences. Real reflections.
Elena has helped me so much. I was petrified of insects for my whole life, and incredibly, just after 3 sessions, I have improved so much. I am able to tolerate bugs coming near me or even being on me! I am really grateful for her, I never thought I'd be able to be so calm around insects. Her hypnosis is so effective, and she really held me through the experience. I felt so centred after each session. Highly recommend!
