Welcome to my Web Page

Hi, I'm Toni Mackenzie, and I can help you take control of your mind and change the way you feel, act and react, by changing the way you think. If you are struggling to make positive changes in your life, I can share with you information, tools and techniques which can help you take control and overcome your difficulties.

You may be suffering from stress or anxiety; lacking confidence or self esteem; you may have relationships difficulties; want to stop over-eating, smoking, drinking, or other negative habits; you may have a phobia, or want to improve your sports performance....

Whatever the surface issue is, I will work with you as the unique, individual being you are, helping you to let go of any underlying negative beliefs and habits you may have formed, enabling you to form new positive beliefs and habits which will help you to move forward, achieve your goals and reach your full potential.

Depending your needs, my way of working may include some or all of the following - counselling, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, life coaching, energy therapies, Neuro Linguistic Programming, visualisation techniques, affirmations and spiritual guidance, leading you towards personal development, emotional intelligence, and self empowerment.

My Qualifications

I qualified as a counsellor in 1998, after three years of intensive training which focused greatly on personal development, and the importance of offering all clients the core conditions of therapy - Unconditional Positive Regard, Empathy & Congruence. Since qualifying I have been a member of BACP - The British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists, and abide by their Code of Ethics.

I qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist in 2005, receiving a diploma in Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Psychology & Psychotherapy with the prestigious National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy who have been training ethical hypnotherapists and psychotherapists since 1977. They are regularly recommended in various publications as being one of the most reputable organisations in it's field.

I have further training and qualifications in Master Hypnotherapy Skills, Therapeutic Hypnosis, Life Coaching, NLP, EFT, IBS Hypnotherapy, Relationship Counselling and Stress & Anxiety Management and I am a Licensed Hypno-Band Weight Loss System Practitioner. I also have many years of life experience, and am happy to say that although some of those experiences were very painful and difficult at the time, I have learned and grown from them and become stronger and wiser.

A little about my background and personal life experiences

I spent around ten years employed as an air stewardess, during which time I was involved in the recruitment and training of cabin crew, as well as travelling extensively. I eventually resigned from my career and married an airline pilot with the intention of starting a family, something both my ex-husband and I very much wanted.

Over the following years we went through a series of infertility tests and treatments before deciding we would like to adopt a child. This involved many applications, interviews, meetings and investigations into our lives, followed by a long wait. Eventually we were delighted to be able to adopt first of all our baby son, and then two and a half years later, our baby daughter.

Unfortunately, three years later our marriage ended and I found myself as a single parent and sole provider for my two very young children. The comfortable and financially secure position I was used to being in, unexpectedly came to a sudden end and I was left without a home or any money when my ex-husband 'disappeared' overseas, having taken all the equity from the sale of our family home.

Initially I went through a whole gamut of emotions. I felt shocked, betrayed, deeply hurt, and very fearful of how I was going to bring up my children alone. I could have continued through life feeling angry and resentful, believing I was a 'victim', but after going through a process which involved many different stages and emotions, I reached the stage of acceptance. I tell this story, not in any way looking for sympathy, but to share how I was able to discover my inner strength and resourcefulness, take control of my life, and move on to create a very positive new life for myself and my children, and from that time on, I have never looked back.

I initially decided to further my keen interest in the human mind by returning to college to study Psychology in 1995, which led me to decide on building a new career as a therapist. Whilst studying for my Counselling Diploma, I extensively studied Practical Philosophy, Spirituality, and Complementary Therapies (including Body Massage, Aromatherapy, Kinesiology, Iridology and more), received my First and Second Degree, and Master Level Attunements in Reiki Healing, and Diplomas in both Reflexology and Nutritional Therapy. I also read many self-help books and attended numerous workshops on topics including the power of positive thinking, self-healing, self-development, self-empowerment, and the holistic mind, body, spirit connection.

Since qualifying as a therapist, I have provided one to one therapy, couples counselling and self development workshops and courses, for various different organisations including the NHS, Primary Care, and various corporate and charitable organisations.

Moving forward...

When I look back over the years since the time when my life seemed to have been turned upside down, I can now clearly see the very positive effect my experiences have had on me, and as I continue to learn and grow, my passion is to share my knowledge, experiences, warmth and empathy with my clients, helping them to learn that we can all create our own reality by using the power of our minds in a positive way, and that life doesn't need to feel miserable or unfulfilled, once we take control of our thoughts.

I believe that although it is helpful to be aware of how past experiences have contributed to current limiting beliefs and negative feelings, we need to accept what has happened, leave it in the past, and work towards letting it go and setting ourselves free.

If you are ready to learn how to take back control of your mind, and your life, and then put in a little effort to do so, call or email me to arrange your first consultation session and allow me help and support you in changing your life for the better and creating the future you desire and deserve.

Some of my recent client reviews

Independently validated by Freeindex.co.uk reviews

As a coach and trainer myself it is great to meet and especially have the privilege of experiencing a session from somebody who can do a fantastic job and get the results they promise as unfortunately in the past I have worked with other therapists who have delivered much less than they promised. However, I myself have been studying and teaching about the mind and emotional development for 20 years and I can truly say that Toni is definitely what she says she is. It is near impossible for us to access our own minds without support, but only a skilled therapist knows what to do and how to do it. Toni gracefully and elegantly helped me gain access to something that over 30 different therapists who I had worked with in the past had not. I'm very proud to offer this testimonial as results are all that count and very happy that I have found somebody I can truly trust! Paul Ryder http://www.futuremindtraining.co.uk October 2011

 I found it difficult to find someone I felt I could trust and feel comfortable with for hypnotherapy, until I found you Toni. The safe and supportive environment was essential for me and ensured the success of your service. I have learned and improved so much that I feel the benefits from it every day and in a way it changed my life. I'd like thank you for this. Steve

 Toni really helped me overcome a number of different challenges during the past years, ranging from presentation phobia through to anxiety about key life decisions I had to make. Her approach is incredibly sensitive and Toni is someone you can really connect with. Not only did Toni help me overcome some specific challenges, but she also equipped me with tools which are helping me deal with the new challenges which life inevitably produces! I cannot recommend Toni enough, she really can help. Matt Thompson

Toni helped me at a time where I had nowhere else to go. Phobic, with separate sleep issues - 2 years down the line I haven't looked back. I had a further debilitating issue, one phone call, one session, and it went. Whatever you pay, there is no price on the quality of your life - I wouldn't hesitate to have hypnotherapy once a year if finances would allow. I know I will visit Toni again in the future - hypnotherapy is the best healing session ever and I was lucky to find the right hypnotherapist the first time - thank you x. Lesley Toft

 Toni guides you through her counselling sessions with sincerity and in a very caring way. She makes you feel at ease and with her different approaches gets you the results you are looking for. Bert Blankers

 I received pyschotherapy treatment in order to prevent feelings of anxiety when driving (following a car accident). Hypnosis was carried out and different psychotherapy techniques were applied. I found them extremely beneficial as all techniques were clearly explained and practised. This then allowed me to find and apply the best technique that worked for overcoming my fear when driving. Connie Vitello

 In recent years I had developed a fear of flying, however I did not want this fear to prevent me from travelling and seeing the world. I attended two sessions with Toni three years ago - one focused on EFT and the second was hypnotherapy. The results were incredible - I felt much more relaxed when flying. Since then I have flown may times including a three month around the world trip. I would recommend that anyone who has a fear of flying should given this a go - for me it was money well spent. Laura Johnson

I attended a natal hypnotherapy session to promote a more confident birthing experience. I found the session with Toni extremely useful. In addition to the hypnotherapy sessions Toni also provided me with a range of other tools to use such as EFT techniques and visualisation techniques. Prior to the session I was quite anxious about giving birth even though this was my third child. I also felt anxious about how a new addition would impact on our family. However, I found my birthing experience was wonderful, I managed to use the techniques to remain calm, focused and used minimal pain relief. The midwife said she had never experienced anyone being so calm and in control during labour particularly as I was induced! I would absolutely recommend natal hypnotherapy. Melissa Perry

 I was given positive ways of how to deal with situations, and felt my own individual circumstances were listened to. I felt inspired when I visited Toni at Inner Depths, and will continue to use the advice I was given. M. Townsend

 I found 'Inner Depths' to be a very satisfactory part of my development and I would recommend it to anyone. I also found Toni Mackenzie to be of the most professional integrity and is a credit to her profession.  Kevin Robinson

 Recently diagnosed with colon cancer and facing a serious operation and recovery period I decided to seek help to give me a positive attitude to both the operation and recovery. I researched the internet for the service I required and came across Inner Depths which seemed to offer what I required. I subsequently made an appointment with Toni Mackenzie and I am convinced that the help she gave me had a massive impact on my mental attitude going into the operation, which was a total success. Also coping with the aftermath and recovery through which, thanks to her, I have been extremely positive and is progressing really well. I would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone. David Robinson

I went to see Toni hoping for some help in dealing with some problems I was having. She taught me particular techniques such as EFT, which I easily learned how to use in my daily life & which have become invaluable to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Inner Depths to anyone. Louise Scialom

I went to see Toni as I was suffering with night terrors as a result of a phobia. Using hypnotheropy to identify the cause Toni then provided me with several self help techniques including EFT (Tapping), the switch and anchor techniques. These along with the hypnotheropy have worked really well and helped me to overcome this problem. David
