About Maria
Maria Sardina is a counsellor and hypnotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with depression, sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Maria works collaboratively and aims to make therapy straightforward and practical.
She uses a mix of methods to suit each person, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, hypnotherapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on clear steps to reach those goals. Conversations are down-to-earth and geared to real life, not jargon or labels.
Maria has ten years of professional experience and lists NCPS as a credential. She has worked in health settings and has experience helping people adjust to long-term health conditions and to uncertainty after illness. That background informs her approach to chronic pain, cancer adjustment and related stress.
Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental. Maria listens, then puts together a personalised plan that can include short-term coaching or longer-term counselling. She also offers workshops and group sessions for people who prefer that format.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, users should confirm current session formats and scheduling options through the site process.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It is useful for emotional concerns, low mood and relationship worries because it prioritises what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical exercises to change patterns that maintain anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might help most. That plan can change as you try different techniques and see what fits.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break. It can also let people join workshops or group sessions without commuting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally adapt exercises, guided mindfulness and behavioural tasks so they work well over distance.
