About Maria
Maria Sardina is a counsellor and hypnotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, sleep problems and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those struggling with trauma, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, career change and parenting strains. Maria offers straightforward, practical help and a calm space to talk things through.
She works in a collaborative, non-judgemental way. Sessions can be short-term or longer, depending on what a person needs.
Background and approach
Maria combines counselling, hypnotherapy, coaching and psychotherapy to suit each individual rather than using one fixed method. Her approach draws on Jungian ideas alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques, and she includes mindfulness in sessions when helpful. That mix lets her address emotions, patterns from the past, and practical coping skills in the same plan.
Hypnotherapy is available for people who want to try guided relaxation and inner focus as part of change work. Maria has around ten years of experience as a clinician and has worked extensively with health-related concerns. She has experience supporting people adjusting to serious diagnoses, living with chronic illness and coping with long Covid symptoms gained from hospital and community settings.
Sessions are tailored to each person and goals are set together. Maria aims to help people feel more in control, clearer about choices, and better able to manage difficult feelings and life transitions.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Jungian therapy focuses on meaning, dreams and life patterns. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective exercises to notice recurring themes and personal symbols and to help people make sense of experiences that feel confusing or empty.Client-centred therapy is about being listened to and understood. In an online session the counsellor offers empathy and acceptance while the person leads the pace and topics, whether they want to talk about relationships, grief or self-worth.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and behaviour. Through video or messaging the therapist can guide practical exercises, teach coping strategies and set small tasks to try between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve sleep.
Finding the right approach often takes a little time. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, personality and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can work well when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing, want flexible check-ins, or need brief support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel commitments.
