Maria-Alda Gomez

I have two afternoon slots available in person in Exeter starting in January 2026.

Do you always feel like you don鈥檛 belong? I help those who feel like outsiders, like they don't fit it, and no one gets them to find acceptance in being unique, and embrace their difference.

With over 15 years of experience working with diverse clients and helping them release the emotional charge of their traumatic past, I can help you create a life that aligns with you true purpose.

I combine pioneering trauma-informed, embodied, energy tools, such as tapping, and chakra clearing, and breathwork with creative practices, like metaphor and stories, and the interesting world of the internal parts of IFS.

The Taoist saying goes "as within, so without". If you find more self-love and acceptance inside, it will manifest in your external life.

If you are looking for a specialised, integrative therapist, you've found one. I am multilingual (English, Spanish and French), and I use distance muscle testing (kinesiology) to guide my treatment plan.

As a former skeptic, my confidence in these techniques is firmly rooted in my deep personal healing and professional experience. I offer gentle techniques that use tapping the meridians and the energy centres for deep trauma resolution.

The traumas treated include:

• Childhood traumas
• Birth traumas
• Inherited traumas
• Spiritual traumas
• Relational and attachment traumas

Having personally witnessed and experienced the incredible power of these techniques, I now feel confident offering them to you. If any of this resonates with you, reach out. I will be happy to have a brief talk to see if my approach is what you are looking for.

Supervision in Exeter and Online.

On holiday between 22 of December and 2nd January

Are you stuck in your work?

Do you find yourself repeatedly talking about your clients in supervision, not learning much, and feeling frustrated? Are you feeling disappointed or uncertain about how to move forward? Perhaps you鈥檙e having transpersonal experiences in your practice with no one to share them with.

I offer creative, embodied, transpersonal supervision for therapists who wish to explore their work through a body-mind-energy approach.

Creative supervision invites you to step back, look at your practice from a new perspective and gain deeper insights. Both your body and your client's body hold wisdom, if we know how to ask and listen. Tapping into this can bring powerful shifts in your professional, as well as your personal life.

With over 15 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I combine everything I鈥檝e learned and experienced to create meaningful opportunities for your growth. My integrative framework includes person-centred core beliefs, psychodynamic theories, a trauma-informed somatic approach, knowledge of IFS, and energy psychology tools. 

If you use EFT (tapping), chakra clearing, shamanism or any other spiritual or energy modalities and wish to combine them with your therapeutic practice, reach out. 

I hold a Master in Psychotherapy, a Diploma in Practising Energy Psychotherapy, and I am completing a Diploma in Supervision.

What to Expect in Supervision

Supervision with me is not a list of tasks to tick but a relational process. Depending on what feels appropriate to you, our sessions may include:

• Creative tools like visualisation, metaphor, drawing, or movement
• Embodied awareness and body process
• Working with parts
• Exploration of energy psychology tools or other practices.

The end goal of supervision will be to facilitate you coming into deeper contact with your wisdom for the benefit of your clients.

Who I Work With

I welcome a wide variety of supervisees and therapists from all walks of life, but I find that I particularly connect with:

• Highly sensitive, spiritual or creative therapists
• Counsellors and psychotherapists integrating energy healing or body process
• Practitioners who feel 鈥�different鈥� or marginalised in their work settings
• Therapists navigating burnout, compassion fatigue, or difficult client work
• Trainees and early-career therapists seeking a reflective and empowering space

You don鈥檛 need to be using energy tools to work with me, but if you do, I鈥檒l support you in integrating them ethically and confidently into your therapeutic framework.

Why Choose Creative Supervision?

Creative supervision can offer something different:

• It reawakens your curiosity and sense of possibility
• It bypasses cognitive loops, opening access to deeper understanding
• It can reconnect you with your original passion for the work
• It often helps prevent burnout by providing restoration and perspective

If you鈥檙e feeling a little lost, drained, or disconnected in your work, creative supervision may be what helps you find your way back to your centre.

Currently, I am completing a Diploma in Supervision at the Gestalt Centre in London.

If any of this resonates with you, I鈥檇 love to hear from you.

Please feel free to contact me to arrange a free 15 minute Zoom call to see if we are a good fit. I have spaces available for supervision in Exeter or online.
