About Petra

Petra Alena Todorov is a UK-based psychotherapist offering a practical and empathetic approach to help adults, couples, and groups navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and self-esteem concerns. With eight years of clinical experience and more than 14 years of work in global organisations, she combines clinical skill with real-world insight to support people through transitions, complex emotions, and interpersonal difficulties.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, blended family and caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness. Petra also works with clients managing guilt and shame, immigration-related pressures, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and dependent personality patterns. She integrates a trauma-informed orientation and draws on systemic and psychodynamic perspectives to explore patterns in relationships and internal experience.

Petra holds BACP credentials - the abbreviation for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides therapy in English and Romanian. She is accepting new clients in the United Kingdom and offers sessions through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Her style is collaborative and grounded, focused on helping people feel understood and supported while building practical strategies and deeper understanding.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and relationships. It helps people explore recurring themes, emotional responses, and long-standing relationship dynamics to gain insight and greater emotional freedom.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and addressing the effects of traumatic events on thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. This approach supports people working through intrusive memories, heightened stress responses, and difficulties in emotional regulation following trauma.

Systemic Therapy looks at relationships and family systems to identify patterns of interaction that contribute to distress. It is useful for couples and families as well as individuals who want to understand how their concerns are connected to broader relational contexts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Petra will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy feels tailored and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from the comfort of home while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt sessions to individual circumstances.
