Marianna Antonakaki

Ambassador: Greece

I am a psychologist with expertise in clinical settings & research, creator of the awarded model NowLetsPlay®™, and a lifelong explorer of how humans grow & behave in various contexts. For me, ambassadorship is an act of service to applied research: to carry ideas with care, build bridges between science, creativity, and a more conscious, humane future. My professional work stands at the intersection of clinical psychology, research, and applied innovation. With a background in psychology, psychodynamic psychotherapy, human-centered therapeutic play, trauma-informed approaches, and top notch Mindset Corporate training, my core focus is understanding how human experience is structured, represented, and transformed. I integrate Mental Space Psychology as a foundational framework for exploring how identity, relationships, memory, and psychopathology are spatially organized in the mind, both in assessment and intervention. This research-driven perspective informs my clinical practice with children, adolescents, and adults, while also extending into coaching, leadership development, and organizational contexts. Through NowLetsPlay®™, MindsetMaps™, and The School of Mindset™, I translate complex psychological models into practical tools for mindset mapping, change facilitation, and strategic development. My work bridges science and application, combining evidence-based psychological thinking with experiential methods to support personal growth, therapeutic change, and sustainable performance in both human and business systems.

An alternative way to look at psychological disorders and health. When all psychological phenomena are happening in mental space, this must also hold for psychological issues of all sorts. This will give a new direction to the psychotherapy of the future. Read more in our book Mental Spatial Diagnosis.
