About Petra
Petra Alena Todorov is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and coaching concerns, including feelings of guilt and shame.
Petra blends psychodynamic ideas with trauma-focused and systemic ways of working. Sessions tend to look at past patterns alongside present relationships. She also pays attention to how identity, culture and life transitions shape feelings and behaviour.
People meet Petra to talk through attachment and abandonment worries, family and blended family issues, codependency and communication problems. She also supports those coping with divorce, infidelity, caregiver strain, isolation, dissociation and immigration-related challenges.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Conversations often move between understanding early patterns and testing new ways of relating in everyday life. She brings experience from both clinical settings and organisational work to help clients link insights to concrete changes.
Petra offers sessions in English and Romanian while working from the United Kingdom. International clients are not accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How psychodynamic, trauma and systemic work translate to online sessions
Psychodynamic work looks at recurring emotional patterns and relationships from earlier life. In an online session this can mean talking about memories and noticing how old habits show up now, then testing small changes in daily life.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding how overwhelming events affect feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can be used to pace exposure, develop regulation skills and process difficult memories in a step-by-step way suited to each person.
Systemic therapy pays attention to relationships and roles across families or networks. Remotely, this might involve mapping interaction patterns, noticing how communication repeats, and trying new ways of relating between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help choose which methods to use. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs become clearer.
