Sabina Petrine helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She supports those navigating LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and people dealing with family-related strain. She emphasises a calm, non-judgemental way of talking so clients feel heard.

Sabina keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and follows each person’s pace. Conversations aim to make difficult feelings easier to name and understand.

Her approach draws on client-centred work, which means the person’s experience leads the session.

Background and approach

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. Somatic and trauma-focused methods help when the body and past events need careful attention. Sabina has three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration.

She works with adults who want clearer thinking, healthier boundaries, and more confidence in relationships and sexual identity. Sessions take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients are accepted and sessions are offered in English.

People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a suitable time to meet.

Approaches for emotional and trauma-focused work online

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping people feel understood and guiding them to their own solutions.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. It can help people understand where certain feelings come from and slow down reactions that cause pain or confusion.

Somatic and trauma-focused techniques pay attention to how the body holds stress and past hurt. These methods are useful when physical sensations or memories interfere with day-to-day life and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what each person needs.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging offer practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter conversations, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and travel.
