Maria Sardina NCPS works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma.

About Maria

Maria Sardina NCPS works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She helps people untangle relationship and intimacy problems, manage sleep and eating concerns, and cope with life changes such as separation, illness or career shifts. Sessions also address parenting worries, low self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.

Maria offers both short and longer term support and uses talking, coaching and hypnotherapy as tools in sessions. Maria approaches therapy in a collaborative, non-judgemental way.

Background and approach

She listens first and then builds a plan with each person. That plan can mix client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises depending on what feels right. Hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas are available when they suit someone’s goals.

Her practice draws on a decade of experience as a counsellor and therapist. Maria has worked in health settings, including hospital-based roles, helping people adjust to medical diagnoses, chronic illness and the uncertainty that follows major health changes. This has included supporting people facing cancer and long-term symptoms.

Sessions aim to be practical and goal-focused. People work on coping skills, clearer communication, better sleep routines and steps towards desired changes. Coaching conversations can help clarify values and next steps when life direction feels uncertain.

Maria offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk through painful memories and current stresses. She invites clients to explore both past influences and practical choices for the present, helping them move towards more manageable daily life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what the person brings to sessions, helping them find their own solutions and a clearer sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep and mood problems.

Maria will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most and agreeing goals together. She adapts techniques as conversations reveal what helps, so the approach can change over time to match needs and preferences.

Online formats make regular work easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and clearer non-verbal communication. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts when writing feels easier or when they need flexible timing. These options aim to make it simpler to access therapy around work, family and health commitments.
