Maria Sardina, NCPS

Maria Sardina helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She works with worries about relationships, intimacy and family concerns. Sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes are also common issues she supports. Maria uses coaching techniques too and can work with ADHD-related difficulties and compassion fatigue.

Maria is identified as NCPS, which indicates her professional registration. She has around ten years' experience as a counsellor, hypnotherapist and life coach. Her background includes several years working with health-related issues and time spent in hospital settings supporting people with adjustment to illness.

Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental. Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to work on. Maria combines different therapies rather than using a single method, and she explains options in straightforward terms so people can choose what feels right.

In practice she may draw on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural ideas, hypnotherapy, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness exercises. The aim is practical change and clearer thinking, not technical jargon. Maria also runs workshops and group sessions for people who prefer a structured learning environment.

She works with people who need short-term coaching and those wanting longer therapy. International clients can be supported and conversations are carried out in English. To start, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Maria commonly uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. This approach aims to build a trusting relationship and to help people reflect on what matters to them.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, a practical approach that looks at patterns of thought and behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing unhelpful habits, because it teaches specific strategies to change thinking and behaviour.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adapts her plan as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and focused.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy life, reducing travel and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. Discussing practical arrangements during the initial matching process will clarify how to make therapy fit day-to-day routines.
