About Sabina

Sabina Petrine helps people with stress, anxiety, LGBT-related concerns, depression, family issues, trauma and self-esteem. She uses a collaborative, client-led approach and draws on person-centred, psychodynamic and somatic ideas. Sabina is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.

Sabina’s sessions focus on listening first. She encourages people to talk about what is troubling them and what they want to change. Practical coping strategies may be introduced alongside space to reflect on feelings and past experiences.

Her psychodynamic-informed work looks at recurring patterns and how early relationships may be connected to current difficulties. This can help people understand why they react in certain ways and consider different responses.

Somatic elements bring attention to sensations in the body and how they relate to emotion, which some people find useful when trauma or anxiety affect their day-to-day life. Sabina integrates these approaches rather than using one method only.

She also offers support around sexuality and relationship structures, including BDSM, kink, polyamory and non-monogamous arrangements. Issues such as gender dysphoria, sexual assault and women’s matters are part of her practice.

Sessions are conducted in English and Sabina works with international clients. People interested in meeting her are invited to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and book an initial session.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own goals and experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the client clarify what they want to change and how to get there. This approach is helpful for general stress, low mood and relationship questions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. Online sessions can explore how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviours, helping people gain insight and consider different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabina will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on needs, preferences and practical goals. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or study and meeting without travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend regular appointments and to sustain ongoing therapeutic work.
