With 10 years of experience, she combines psychotherapy, coaching and hypnotherapy to help people move beyond obstacles that prevent them from feeling fulfilled. She offers both short-term and longer-term support and works with a diverse range of clients to address issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy and sleep problems, as well as relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and parenting concerns, career and self-esteem challenges, and coping with life changes.

In addition to one-to-one sessions and group work, she runs workshops and seminars for people interested in personal development, and she works with international clients where appropriate.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic relationship in which the client’s priorities guide the work. It helps people explore feelings, clarify values and build confidence to make choices that feel right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain difficulties and introduces practical strategies to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access mental resources and support changes in habit, mood or perspective; it can be helpful for issues like sleep, stress management and breaking unhelpful patterns.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process, and Maria Sardina works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore options, set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Maria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and support continuity of care when travel or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier.
