I am Maria.

I’m a registered Humanistic and Existential Psychotherapist (Reg No: FMPAP-HE 136), a graduate psychologist, and a trained yoga teacher. My approach is a synthesis of psychotherapy, somatic practices, and creative expression, shaped by my own inner work, academic grounding, and years of professional practice.

My journey into this field began with a degree in Psychology and an internship in oncology, where I became attuned to the emotional weight people carry and the quiet strength they hold. This deepened my calling to train in Gestalt Psychotherapy, a path that not only equipped me clinically but asked me to turn inward, face discomfort, and meet all parts of myself with honesty and compassion. That process of integration remains central to how I support others today.

Over time, therapy, yoga, and creativity began to naturally converge in my work. Yoga taught me how the body stores what the mind can’t always express. Psychotherapy gave me the space to explore meaning, emotion, and relationship. Creativity became a way to connect with what lives beyond words. What once felt like separate practices is now one grounded, embodied, and relational approach.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or simply seeking deeper connection with yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you, with openness, care, and respect for your unique journey. There is space here for your whole self.

As someone who has lived and worked in the UK, Spain, and Cyprus—both in public and private settings—I bring a multicultural perspective and adaptability to my work.
