About Maria
Maria Sardina NCPS is a counsellor and hypnotherapist working in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, sleep problems and anger. Her practice also covers parenting, career questions, coping with life changes and burnout type issues such as compassion fatigue and ADHD-related concerns.
Maria uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. That means sessions can include talking therapy, cognitive work, mindfulness practices and hypnotherapy depending on what a person needs. She describes her work as collaborative and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use between meetings.
Clients may expect a combination of short and longer term work. Maria also offers coaching alongside counselling and psychotherapy to help people set and reach specific goals. Her background includes several years working with health-related issues, including experience in a hospital setting supporting people adjusting to chronic and serious illness.
This experience informs her way of working with grief, illness adjustment and long-term symptoms such as those associated with long Covid. She runs one-to-one consultations and group sessions, and she also leads workshops and seminars for people interested in personal development.
Initial contact starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Maria aims to agree a practical plan with each person and to use approaches that address the immediate problem while building longer term coping skills.
How sessions work
How Maria uses psychological approaches online
Maria commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working with clients. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, helping them talk through feelings and decide which changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour, and helps people try practical experiments to reduce stress, manage anger or improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt the mix of talking, cognitive work, mindfulness or hypnotherapy so the plan matches what the client wants to address.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, make it easier to keep appointments, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Others prefer longer sessions or group workshops for in-depth work; discuss those preferences when arranging the first session so practical arrangements match everyday life.
