About Maria
Maria Sardina is a counsellor, hypnotherapist and life coach who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship or intimacy concerns. She works with clients on sleep, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem and career questions. Maria also supports people dealing with major life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
She is registered with NCPS, which appears as NCPS in her credentials. Maria uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy, Jungian thinking and mindfulness to suit each person. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then co-designs a plan that fits the person's needs and goals. Her work aims to help people change how they relate to themselves and their situation.
That can mean practical tools for daily coping, coaching to shift direction, or deeper therapeutic work on past issues and patterns. She offers both longer-term and short-term options depending on what the client wants. Maria has a decade of experience in counselling and therapy work and additional years offering help with health-related issues.
Part of her background includes supporting people through adjustment to medical diagnoses and long-term illness, including work with cancer and chronic conditions. She runs individual consultations and group sessions, and also leads workshops and seminars for personal development. International clients may be possible; readers should confirm current session options when booking.

How Maria works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That might mean trying a practical CBT exercise for a few sessions or using hypnotherapy or mindfulness work if those fit the person's aims.
Confirm the exact session arrangements before you book, as formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists aim to adapt their approach so it works well in remote sessions.
