About Petra

Petra Alena Todorov offers a psychodynamic and trauma-informed approach to counselling. She blends reflective listening with attention to how past experiences shape present feelings. Petra uses systemic ideas to look at relationship patterns and practical ways to change them.

Petra works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and self-esteem. She also helps people facing abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems. Her practice covers separation, infidelity and the strain that comes from caregiving and blended family situations.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings clearer and to find small, manageable steps forward. Petra pays attention to cultural identity and the different ways people experience belonging and loss.

Petra has eight years of clinical experience and practises in the United Kingdom. She lists BACP as a credential. She sees people in English and Romanian and does not accept international clients at this time.

Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Ways of working Petra names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Petra's approaches work online

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships influence present feelings and behaviour; online sessions use conversation to notice recurring patterns and make sense of them. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of distressing events and helps people process painful memories and symptoms so they interfere less with daily life. Systemic therapy considers relationships and roles - it helps uncover how interactions with others keep problems going and where small changes can shift the pattern.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Petra will listen to your concerns, discuss goals and try different ways of working until you find what fits. She aims to be collaborative and to adjust methods to match your needs and preferences rather than sticking rigidly to one model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for people who prefer writing, need to reflect between messages, or want support that fits around busy days. These options make it simpler to attend sessions from different locations and times and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
