Sabina Petrine

Sabina Petrine helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and issues tied to gender and sexuality. She works with those dealing with trauma, low self-esteem, workplace strain and concerns around relationships and identity. Sabina is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and uses that registration during her practice in the United Kingdom.

Her approach is conversational and warm. Sessions aim to be a place where clients can talk without judgement. Sabina focuses on listening closely, reflecting what comes up, and helping people notice patterns in their thinking and feeling.

She draws on client-centred ways of working to prioritise each person's experience. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client rather than a fixed script. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past relationships and life events influence current reactions.

Somatic techniques are introduced when the body holds strong emotions, offering gentle ways to regulate intense feelings. Trauma-focused methods are used sensitively for those who have experienced abuse or assault, aiming to reduce the hold of painful memories over daily life.

Sabina practices with a focus on women’s issues and on matters such as gender dysphoria, polyamory and alternative sexual cultures when these are central to a person's concerns. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions based on availability.

How Sabina's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the topics you bring, which helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship questions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and patterns affect current feelings, which can reveal why certain situations trigger strong reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sabina will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the focus if something does not feel helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a workday or meeting without travelling. It can also allow continued contact when someone is living in a different country, since she does accept international clients. Registered or accredited professionals offering online therapy often adapt psychodynamic or trauma-focused techniques to the screen or phone, and somatic tools can be taught as simple body-based exercises to use between sessions.
