About Sabina

BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience, Sabina Petrine focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, depression, family questions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She uses client-centred, psychodynamic, somatic and trauma-focused ways of working to help people talk through difficult feelings and situations.

Sabina keeps sessions straightforward. She listens first, then reflects what she hears and asks practical questions that help people see options. Conversations can look at current problems, patterns from the past, and bodily reactions to stress. She aims to make the process understandable and manageable for people who are anxious or unsure about therapy.

Her psychodynamic approach explores how past relationships and experiences shape present behaviour and feelings. Somatic work pays attention to sensations in the body and how these relate to memories or emotional triggers. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past harms continue to affect daily life, with attention to pacing and grounding.

Sabina also works with issues around sexuality and alternative relationship styles, including polyamory, kink and BDSM culture, and gender dysphoria. She helps people process sexual assault and abuse, and supports those dealing with emptiness, forgiveness and finding life purpose.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a first session. Sabina describes her role as a steady listener who helps people map practical next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centred therapy is built around careful listening and reflecting back what a person says. Online sessions use this style to help people feel heard and make sense of immediate concerns such as anxiety or workplace stress. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships influence current patterns, and online conversations can track these patterns and identify repeated reactions that cause difficulty.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences and decide on an approach together. That process can be adjusted as the work progresses so that the focus fits what feels most helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer speaking without being on camera or who need sessions that match a busy schedule.
