Ancient Mother Spiral Framework

Seeking Trauma-Sensitive Psychotherapy to Heal, Restore, and Reconnect with your truth?

If you’re feeling exhausted, isolated, or disconnected- whether from parenting, relationships, or past experiences- you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed, presence-centered psychotherapy in Manchester and online, integrating somatic awareness, relational exploration, and spiritual connection. Together, we can explore emotional patterns, nurture self-understanding, and create more peace and connection in your life. Sessions are available face-to-face, online, or as walk-and-talk therapy, tailored to your need.

Here is my mirror to you :

Are you quietly holding everything together, but inside you're fragmented, exhausted, and running on empty? ​

You are meeting everyone else's needs( your kids, your partner, your job) while your own tank is dry. This isn't just "stress." This is ADHD burnout, the chronic overwhelm of motherhood, or the quiet, simmering rage that surfaces because you feel constantly unseen.

You might be desperately searching for:

  • A way to turn off the anxiety and find quiet peace.

  • Relief from the exhaustion of masking and feeling different.

  • A therapist who understands that being complex is a strength, not a flaw. It is the source of YOUR richness and holds your deepest gift and medicine for the world. 

You're not looking for a quick fix. I do not believe for a second you are broken. I trust, you're looking for a space where your pain is met with presence, and your complexity is understood as a strength.

I can hold space for you to process your: 

 * Anxiety, Panic, and Chronic Overwhelm

 * ADHD/Autism Burnout and Masking Exhaustion

 * Postnatal Depression & Maternal Mental Health Struggles

* Trauma and PTSD

* Birthing journeys- physical or spiritual -

* Loss of Identity in roles and relationships

 *Spiritual awakening and emergence (when the ground feels like it's dissolving)

I offer sessions both online, in nature and f2f in South Manchester and in Hyde sand and Sound Centre. 

How We Work: From Surviving to Presence

This work weaves clinical depth with embodied wisdom.

We will use integrative, evidence-based practices like Somatic Work, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and Jungian psychology to move beyond just managing symptoms and into a life of authentic presence.

I call this sacred journey of unraveling and reweaving the Ancient Mother Spiral. It's not about becoming someone new; it's about returning to the wisdom that is already you.

if this calls you....i offer you a ​brief call , as a chance to share what's happening, ask about fees (Individual Therapy: £80, with reduced-fee spaces available ), and explore whether we're a good fit.

There is absolutely no pressure to commit. My encouragement is to trust YOUR gut!

I support people who are :

Yearning for a deeper connection to self,

soul & the divine

Feeling disconnected or fragmented 

Searching for belonging

Burdened by patriarchical conditioning

Wanting to bridge worlds and supervise the unseen

Carrying maternal rage & grief

Suffering from creative blockage

Stuck in ancestral patterns

Overwhelmed by life's transitions

Suffering from burn out

What Clients Say

“ Maria is very gifted in the art of sound healing . I honestly didn't know what to expect at first so I entered with an open mind. I had tried different therapies before this including CBT , and I had practiced self care but I still had things I continued to struggle with. After a few sessions I noticed a shift in my mood, of course it was a journey to get to the end result. Maria was there to guide me through the whole process , checking in regularly to see how I was doing. By the end I feel a complete shift in my mood, perspective and overall wellbeing. I also noticed that the pains I had in my body due to stress had gone. I don't think this would have been possible without her so I am very grateful for her work. I highly recommend to anyone who has struggles with your mental health and with stress, it really works, Thank you Maria I am so grateful. ”

My Story

In 2019, my own fire became my medicine. A profound consciousness shift into the I AM initiated a two-year "Dark Night of the Soul." and a treacherous collapse of my Identity.

It wasn't a clinical crisis; it was an answer. It was the absolute dissolution of my own perpetual seeking. Seeking since then left me and i felt Liberated, navigating a spiral journey into the isness of my life, deepening in the dissolution of all separation.

 

Ever since the Journey has deepened, revealed my own Dharma in Life throught the Map-less map of the Ancient Mother Spiral. The journey continued with deeper dissolution experiences, fatigue and burn out unmasking of neurodivergence and motherhood frictions... but continued with ever deepening faith in the Surrender .

I have resisted to bring this active Inquiry to life because as a separate service as  I am very very sober about glorification of Teachers and gurufication.

I do not call myself a Teacher but a mirror. I m here to point you to who you ARE beyond samsara.. but NOT by denying the human pain. 

The , "Honeyed Vessel" in the Ancient Mother Spiral 

There is an intelligence that hums beneath the roles we play. It is older than our names, deeper than our wounds, and more constant than our stories. For a long time, I lived within the maps of "becoming"; the therapist, the mother, the migrant, the seeker. But Life, in its fierce and loving grace, eventually burned those maps away. And in that burning revealed my INNER MAP LESS MAP. My life's dharma and body of work also encompassed in the Ancient Mother Spiral. Self Inquiry was simply the FIRE  i practiced for over 17 years that burnt away all illusions to reveal within me, after the SHIVA consciousness ( I AM) the SHAKTI and primordial energy that lives in my bones and marrow. 

What remained was not a "better version" of myself, but a hollowed-out space. A  Honeyed vessel.

You are SO VAST like the SKY.. 

No more hiding

No more waiting
