Hi, I’m Maria.
I’m an integrative psychotherapist specialising in depth psychology, dreamwork, and somatic approaches to trauma. I work with psychologically minded, creative, and purpose-driven adults who in individual or group settings.
Begin Again reflects the core philosophy of my practice: the belief that, at any point in life, with the right conditions and support, it is possible to return to yourself, to rediscover meaning, and to live life on your own terms.
My approach
My approach is informed by Jungian and post-Jungian depth psychology, as well as body-oriented therapies, to help you explore the full complexity of human experience.
-
A heart-led, holistic approach that addresses both the personal and spiritual dimensions in order to support you in becoming who you're meant to become. This is a non-pathologising approach focused on self-discovery, depth, and integration of all aspects of self, rather than fixing or treating symptoms.
-
An infinitely fascinating way of engaging with the unconscious to discover who you’re meant to become through the exploration of dreams, myths, art, synchronicity, symbols, and creative imagination.
-
A beautiful and collaborative somatic approach to working with trauma (PTSD and CPTSD) and neurodiversity using movement, posture, and physiology to restore safety and connection in the body.
-
A playful and creative way of engaging with the archetypes that underpin our day-to-day existence through imagination and embodiment. I have created my own way of working with the tarot somatically, which I sometimes teach in workshops.
-
A profound way of working with your inner healer to explore unconscious content and inquire into the mystery of existence. I co-facilitate legal psychedelic experiences abroad and support people in integrating the content that arises during their journeys and creating lasting change in normal states of consciousness.
-
I teach trauma-sensitive mindfulness and meditation to befriend sensations, emotions, and thoughts, and cultivate freedom beyond the conscious mind, both through secular and Buddhist perspectives.
Answer the call of your dreams
“Dreams pave the way for life, and they determine you without you understanding their language.
One would like to learn this language, but who can teach and learn it? Scholarliness alone is not enough; there is a knowledge of the heart that gives deeper insight. The knowledge of the heart is in no book and is not to be found in the mouth of any teacher, but grows out of you like the green seed from the er dark earth.”
