Sabina Petrine , BACP

Sabina Petrine is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports those facing trauma, low self-esteem and workplace strain, and she offers particular understanding around women's issues, sexuality and non‑monogamous relationships. Sabina works with adults who want a clearer sense of purpose and more self‑compassion.

Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Sabina encourages practical steps as well as gentle reflection so people can notice small changes that matter.

Sabina uses client‑centred work to focus on what each person needs in the moment. She brings in psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns from the past. Somatic methods help people tune into body sensations, especially after stressful or traumatic experiences.

With three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Sabina blends different approaches to match each person. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Sabina explains the steps to begin and works collaboratively to set clear goals and pacing.

She respects that starting therapy takes courage and aims to guide people toward more self‑acceptance and practical ways to feel better day to day.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client‑centred therapy starts from the person in front of the counsellor. It focuses on listening closely, reflecting what matters and supporting the individual's pace. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer self‑understanding rather than advice.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. A counsellor helps notice these patterns so people can make different choices in relationships and at work. Somatic therapy pays attention to body sensations and how stress or trauma show up physically, offering ways to calm and regulate those reactions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Sabina will work together with each person to choose what feels most useful based on goals, history and current needs. That collaboration means plans are adjusted as progress and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues guide the work, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break. Live chat or text‑based messaging suits people who prefer typing or want ongoing check‑ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep regular contact when that is helpful.
