About Petronela

Petronela Antemia is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with grief, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD and intimacy-related issues.

She uses a respectful and compassionate approach. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs and aims. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon.

Petronela encourages people to take small, achievable steps towards change.

Background and approach

In sessions she draws on client-centred ways of working. This means the person’s experience guides the pace and focus of therapy. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours.

Petronela has seven years of experience working with a wide range of issues. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown in her professional details.

When couples attend she helps them look at communication, attachment and patterns that cause conflict. Work with partnerships aims to build awareness of how past experiences shape current reactions and to develop more helpful ways of relating. People can expect straightforward, calm sessions that balance listening with practical suggestions.

Petronela presents options and works with each person to decide what feels most useful for them.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-centred work places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions and set the pace of change. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses simple experiments and exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Petronela will discuss different methods with each person and agree together what to try first. That means the plan can change as goals become clearer and new issues emerge, keeping the work relevant to the client’s needs and preferences.

Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family and travel commitments.
