Maria Kefalogianni: Depth Psychotherapist, Mother, and Neurodivergent Guide and spiritual guide 

 

I am a qualified psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, dedicated to ethical and compassionate practice.

• MSc Counselling Psychology (Distinction) from Keele University (BACP Accredited Course).

• I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their professional and ethical frameworks. 

• Qualified Supervisor: Post Graduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision (Keele University)

​

My name is Maria, and I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor.

​

My path is rooted in one truth: I know what it’s like when the old maps no longer make sense. Before being a therapist, I was a client who burned out. I have been broken open by motherhood and the confusion of migration. I know the quiet rage and the exhaustion of trying to force a neurodivergent mind into a linear world.

The Discovery: The Cry of Separation

 

​

As a psychotherapist trained in the non-pathologizing Person Centred Approach, I was taught to walk alongside clients without judgment. Yet, even in that space, I felt a subtle separation.

The real healing, I saw, happened in the cracks between theories; in moments of pure, shared humanity.

​

Beneath the surface of my clients' anxiety and depression, I began to hear a deeper, more painful truth. It was the constant, low hum of loneliness, even when surrounded by loved ones. It was the burnout of wearing a mask every single day. I realized this was the "Cry of Separation"—an unspoken pain for a home you feel you've never known.

​

My journey through the fire: I recognized that same cry in myself. In 2019, a consciousness shift initiated a two-year "dark night of the soul." This was not a crisis, but an answer—the very medicine that dissolved my own perpetual seeking. This experience, forged in my own fire, birthed the Presence Centered Psychotherapy™.

Mystical Depth Meets Clinical Safety: The Ancient Mother Spiral

 

​

This work is rare because it does not separate healing trauma from spiritual awakening. Here, your deepest wounds become the portal to your most profound wisdom.

​

I am a descendant of the Minoans and a seer who brings this ancestral intelligence into your session. The Ancient Mother Spiral wasn't an invention; it was an intelligence I deeper remembered, born from listening to the Earth and to the unmet needs of minds that think in spirals and rhizomes, not lines.

We will use evidence-based practices (like Somatic Work, IFS, and Jungian psychology) to hold a fierce, steady presence as we alchemize the "ash" of your trauma and burnout into the "honey" of authentic power.​

​​​​

​

The Invitation: A Path for Your Whole Self​​

​

 

I don't heal you- i am rooted in the belief that you are NOT broken. My duty is to help you listen to your own wisdom and trust the truth of who you are. 

​

This approach resonates most deeply with:

• Mothers navigating the intense initiatory journey of parenting.

• Neurodivergent souls seeking understanding beyond conventional frameworks.

• Healers and therapists integrating spirituality and clinical work.

• ​

If you feel the pull toward a deeper connection, I would be honoured to walk with you.

Overall experience: 

​​

I am an experienced psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience ,as well as a supervisor to therapists and space-holders, trainer , writer in studies of consciousness and a mystic poet. The heart of my work is rooted in what I embody. My journey of healing intergenerational trauma—guided intuitively and spirit-led—has shaped how I hold space for others. I continue to deepen this path through both ongoing study and inner work, integrating ancestral wisdom with embodied presence.

My approach is grounded in what contemplative traditions call the Universal Heart; offering you a space to meet life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and grace.

I'll meet you there.
