About Maria
Maria Sardina is a counsellor and coach who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low mood. She supports those struggling with relationships, sleep problems, trauma and eating or weight concerns. Maria also works with people dealing with parenting strain, career questions, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
She holds the NCPS credential and practises from the United Kingdom. Maria adopts a practical, collaborative style. She offers both short and longer-term work and combines different therapeutic ideas to suit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are non-judgemental and aimed at helping each person make clear, manageable changes. Her approach mixes person-centred listening with structured techniques such as cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness. She also draws on hypnotherapy and Jungian ideas when these fit a person’s goals.
That blend lets her tailor sessions to focus on thoughts, feelings, memory or behaviour as needed. Maria has around 10 years of experience and additional years working with health-related issues in clinical settings. That background informs her work with people adjusting to medical diagnoses, chronic illness and the emotional impact of serious health worries.
Practical tools and coaching are offered alongside counselling. Clients can expect goal-focused conversations, coping strategies for day-to-day life and support to explore longer-standing patterns. Maria aims to help people feel more in control and clearer about their next steps.

Online support
She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness and breathing practices that reduce stress and help people stay present. These techniques can support coping with ongoing health worries and daily tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what fits, based on a person’s goals, preferences and the problems they bring. Plans can be adjusted as work progresses so the methods used feel helpful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care.
