About Maria

Maria Sardina NCPS welcomes people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, sleep problems, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and the life changes that follow pregnancy and childbirth. She helps with mood difficulties such as depression, self-esteem worries, anger, and the practical strains of parenting, caregiving and chronic illness. Maria also supports those dealing with trauma, eating problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Maria works in a collaborative, non-judgemental way. Conversations focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. She combines coaching, hypnotherapy, counselling and psychotherapy to help people set achievable goals and make small, steady changes.

Her background includes work in health settings, including five years in a hospital environment and over a decade helping people manage medical diagnoses, adjustment to illness and long-term symptoms. Maria has ten years of overall experience as a practitioner and holds NCPS as her listed credential.

Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. Maria listens, then designs a simple plan that suits the individual’s situation and goals. She offers both shorter-term coaching-focused work and longer therapeutic support depending on what the client wants.

People often come for help with anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, addictive behaviours, or to process past trauma. Maria also runs group workshops and seminars for those interested in personal development and practical skills.

How Maria’s approaches can help online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the heart of the work. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions; this supports self-understanding and clarity about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, sleep and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Maria works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on the person’s goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, reviewing progress together, and adjusting the plan if needed.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow people to access help from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and approaches like CBT and hypnotherapy adapt well to remote sessions when both parties agree on how they will work.
