Maria Sardina , NCPS

Maria Sardina is a professionally qualified integrative counsellor, hypnotherapist and life coach who blends psychotherapy and coaching techniques to help people move past obstacles and find greater fulfillment. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, and works from a collaborative, non-judgemental stance to support clients in making meaningful change.

Drawing on a mix of therapeutic approaches, Maria offers both short- and long-term work tailored to each person’s needs. She supports a diverse range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, depression, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, eating and food-related issues, parenting and anger, self-esteem and career concerns, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, cancer and chronic illness, caregiver stress, commitment and communication difficulties, control issues, coping after disasters, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, and broader family problems.

Maria also brings experience in supporting people through health-related adjustments and long-term medical challenges, helping clients adapt their thinking and daily coping when facing illness or ongoing symptoms. Her practice blends counselling, hypnotherapy and coaching so that therapy can be shaped around the goals a client actually wants to work on. In addition to one-on-one sessions and group work, she regularly runs workshops and seminars for people who are interested in personal development. Her approach is to listen carefully, co-create a personalised plan, and guide each person toward practical changes that reflect their values and aspirations.
