About Petra

Petra Alena Todorov helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and low self-esteem using psychodynamic, trauma-focused and systemic methods. She works in English and Romanian and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of clinical experience in therapeutic work.

Petra draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and personal life. She uses trauma-focused approaches to address the effects of distressing events and to support emotional regulation. Systemic thinking helps her consider how relationships and wider contexts influence current problems.

Sessions involve talking through current concerns, reflecting on past experiences that shape feelings, and noticing interaction patterns that affect relationships. Petra integrates coaching elements when clients want practical steps for change alongside talking work. She pays attention to cultural identity and how it affects a persons sense of self.

Her background includes clinical work over eight years and experience in global organisations, which she uses to relate to workplace stress and identity issues. Petra is familiar with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems.

She also works with concerns related to dissociation, divorce and separation, emptiness, family problems, guilt and shame, immigration issues, infidelity and loneliness. People can expect a straightforward, collaborative process that mixes reflective therapy with practical coaching when useful.

How her approaches work for remote counselling

Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and personal history. It helps people notice unconscious or repeated behaviours that affect current feelings and relationships.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the impact of distressing events and on building better emotional regulation. It aims to reduce the hold of past traumatic experiences on day-to-day life and reactions.

Systemic therapy considers the wider context around a person, such as relationship patterns and family dynamics. It helps identify how interactions and roles contribute to problems and how changes in those patterns can ease tension.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Petra will discuss goals and preferences with a client and agree a way of working that mixes reflection and practical steps. This is a collaborative process and the approach may be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use remote sessions to keep continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
