About Sabina

Sabina Petrine is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related concerns. She works with people who are also dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, workplace strain and questions about identity or relationships. Sabina aims to make it easier to take the first steps towards change.

She creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful or confusing feelings. Conversations focus on what matters to the person in front of her. The goal is to find clearer ways to cope, make choices and feel stronger day to day.

Sabina uses a mix of approaches that suit different needs. Client-centred ways of working mean the client's view guides the pace and focus. Psychodynamic ideas help look at longer patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings.

She also draws on somatic techniques to notice how the body holds stress and trauma-focused methods when people need to safely process difficult events. These approaches are chosen together with clients and adapted as therapy progresses.

Sabina holds BACP, which indicates her professional affiliation. She has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and works in English. People who want to explore work-related concerns, sexuality and relationship styles such as polyamory or kink can bring those topics into sessions.

Starting therapy usually begins with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step so the practical arrangements fit each person's life. Sabina supports international clients as well, and she will discuss the best way to work together at first contact.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the client's concerns and building a warm therapeutic relationship. Online work using this approach centres on listening closely, reflecting what matters, and letting the client set the pace and topics.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and the feelings those patterns create. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring themes, memories and relationships that influence current stress or identity struggles.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sabina will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods as therapy continues, so the plan can change if something else suits better.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel time and keeping appointments from different locations. The original profile does not specify formats, so check which session types are offered before booking. The aim is to make therapy workable alongside work and life commitments, with arrangements chosen to match each person's needs and schedule.
