About Maria
Maria Sardina is a counsellor and hypnotherapist with ten years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems and depression. She works with clients on relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, eating and parenting issues, and other life changes. Maria offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them and set practical goals.
She blends several approaches so work can be shaped to each person. Sessions may include coaching-style conversations, guided relaxation or hypnotherapy elements, and cognitive techniques to adjust unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Maria emphasises collaboration and helps clients decide what feels useful for them.
Her background includes years working with health-related problems and hospital settings, and experience supporting people adjusting to chronic illness, cancer and long Covid symptoms. That clinical experience informs her practical focus on coping strategies and everyday routines that affect sleep and wellbeing.
Maria describes her way of working as flexible - offering both short and longer-term work depending on the issue and the person's goals. She listens, outlines clear next steps, and helps people build routines and skills they can use between sessions.
People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a session. Maria accepts international clients and runs group workshops as well as individual consultations.
How Maria's approaches translate to online therapy
Maria uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a listening, non-judgemental relationship and helps people feel heard as they explore worries and sleep habits. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep routines and changing unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maria takes a collaborative stance and will discuss goals, preferences and what methods feel comfortable. Over the first few sessions she and the client can adjust the mix of counselling, CBT techniques or hypnotherapy elements to find what helps most.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a work break. Different online arrangements suit different people, so confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. The emphasis is on practical, usable strategies for sleep and daily routine that can be tried between sessions and reviewed in follow-up meetings.
