Maria Sardina, NCPS

Maria Sardina NCPS works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and a wide range of life challenges. She also supports issues around relationships, intimacy, sleep, self‑esteem, career decisions and coping with change. Maria lists ageing and geriatric issues among her focus areas and helps those navigating health-related changes and caregiver strain.

Maria has practised for 10 years and combines counselling, coaching and hypnotherapy in sessions. Her style is collaborative and non‑judgemental. She aims to make sessions practical and goal‑focused while also attending to emotional experience.

In practice she mixes Client‑Centered ways of working with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and elements of Jungian and mindfulness approaches. She adapts methods to each person rather than using a single template. That flexibility means talks can include coping skills, guided imagery or reflective work depending on the issue.

Maria draws on long experience supporting people with health-related worries, chronic illness, and adjustment after diagnosis. She has experience working in hospital settings and supporting people living with long-term symptoms. This informs how she helps clients manage uncertainty and plan for the future.

Sessions may include short-term coaching or longer psychotherapy depending on what a person wants. Maria asks about goals early on and builds a personalised plan that fits those aims. She also runs occasional workshops and group events for people interested in personal development.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and supported while they make changes or work through difficult decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It is used to develop practical tools for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with illness-related worries.

Hypnotherapy can use guided imagery and relaxation to tackle habits, stress responses and some kinds of fear. In practice it is offered alongside talking therapies rather than as a standalone claim of cure.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss goals and preferences and tailor methods together with a client. That collaborative process helps decide whether coaching, CBT techniques or hypnotherapy elements fit best.

The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check‑in meetings, or avoid travel time. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need simpler, more focused sessions during a lunch break.
