Maria Sardina

Maria Sardina NCPS helps people facing anger, stress and relationship strain. She works with anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems and parenting concerns, and supports those coping with trauma, eating difficulties and career change. Maria is based in the United Kingdom and practises in English.

Maria describes her style as collaborative and non-judgemental. She offers a calm space to talk things through and helps people set clear, realistic goals. She combines counselling, coaching and hypnotherapy to suit the person in front of her rather than sticking to a single technique.

Her background includes ten years of professional practice and more than 15 years working with health-related issues, including five years in a hospital setting. That experience includes supporting people adjusting to serious illness, cancer and ongoing health conditions.

In sessions Maria uses elements from client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and Jungian ideas alongside hypnotherapy when appropriate. She tailors a plan to what each person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Maria also runs workshops and group seminars alongside one-to-one consultation. She encourages practical steps you can try between sessions, and she regularly reviews progress so plans can be adjusted as goals change.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options

Maria often draws on client-centred work, which means the person’s concerns guide the session and the counsellor reflects and supports what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone needs space to be heard and to build self-awareness.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and when people want clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adapts her plan as progress is made. That means the first few sessions often involve exploring what feels most helpful and agreeing practical steps together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and simpler access for people who live far from in-person services. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online and in-person options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
