About Maria
Maria Sardina is a counsellor and hypnotherapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and sleeping problems. She supports clients working through relationship and intimacy issues, coping with life changes, and concerns around self-esteem and career. Maria also offers help for trauma, eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger and ADHD-related challenges.
She uses a collaborative, non-judgemental style. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and practical steps to get there.
Background and approach
Maria combines conversational counselling, coaching techniques and hypnotherapy to tailor each session to the client's needs. Maria has around 10 years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Her background includes several years working with health-related issues and time spent in a hospital setting supporting people adjusting to chronic illness and cancer diagnoses.
Her approach blends client-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness. She draws on Jungian thinking when exploring patterns and meanings that affect mood and behaviour. The result is a personalised plan that mixes short-term tools and longer-term exploration.
Sessions can be used to target specific problems such as sleep disruption or addictive behaviours, or to work on broader life direction and resilience. Maria also offers group workshops and seminars for people interested in personal development. People may expect practical suggestions, reflective discussion and guided hypnotherapy where appropriate.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Maria uses hypnotherapy to help people access focused relaxation and guided imagery. In practice this can support habits, stress reduction and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns through guided mental rehearsal and calm-focused work. Client-Centred Therapy is built around listening and reflecting; the counsellor follows the client's pace and priorities and helps them find their own solutions through supportive conversation.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems because it gives step-by-step exercises and homework to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and past experiences and then suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and methods can be mixed or adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls are good for full face-to-face discussion and guided hypnotherapy, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs and to keep momentum between appointments.
