About Sabina

Sabina Petrine helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, identity questions and trauma. She supports those facing LGBT-related concerns, issues around self-esteem, family pressures and experiences of sexual assault and abuse. Sabina also offers a space for people exploring sexuality, kink and polyamory, and for anyone wrestling with emptiness or life purpose.

She keeps sessions straightforward and person-focused. Conversations are non-judgemental and paced to each person's comfort. The aim is to listen closely, reflect back what matters, and help people find steps that feel usable in day-to-day life.

Background and approach

Sabina blends a few different ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session and shapes how she responds. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns from the past that still affect feelings now.

Somatic and trauma-focused approaches bring attention to how the body and emotions are linked after difficult events. She has three years of professional experience and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and Sabina works with adults navigating relationship, workplace and identity challenges.

People usually start by describing what feels most urgent. From there she helps plan practical steps and small experiments to try between meetings. The style is supportive and collaborative, aimed at steady change rather than quick fixes.

Approaches and online options for therapy

Sabina uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person's experience and to build a trusting working relationship. This approach means sessions are shaped around what the client brings and what they want to change in their life. Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work and help people see recurring patterns and how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships. Somatic and trauma-focused work adds attention to bodily responses and how the body holds stress after difficult events, which can be useful for people recovering from abuse or ongoing anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Sabina will discuss goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to try. That process is gradual and can change as people notice what helps and what doesn’t.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls give a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options let people work with therapists across different locations and at times that suit their routines.
