About Petra
Petra Alena Todorov is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self‑esteem and coaching. Sessions are offered in English and Romanian and she does not accept international clients.
Petra uses Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma‑Focused Therapy and Systemic Therapy in her work. She looks at patterns from past relationships and current life to understand how problems started and how they keep repeating. Trauma‑focused work helps when distress follows painful events, and systemic thinking maps how family and relationship dynamics affect daily life.
Her style is collaborative. She helps people name what is happening, spot recurring patterns, and try different ways of responding. Conversations can include exploring early relationships, noticing triggers, and testing new behaviours in everyday situations. Practical coaching tools may be used alongside talking therapy to build skills for handling stress and relationship strain.
Petra attends to issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family matters, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dependent personality traits, dissociation, divorce and separation, emptiness, family conflict, guilt and shame, immigration issues, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness. She aims to connect therapeutic ideas to real life so people can make clearer choices.
People coming for help can expect a straightforward working relationship. Petra asks about current difficulties, personal history, and what the person wants to change. She then suggests ways of working together and reviews progress as therapy continues.

How Psychodynamic and Trauma‑Focused Work Translate Online
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present behaviour. Online sessions using this approach tend to focus on telling the story of what repeats in relationships and noticing emotional patterns as they appear in the conversation. Trauma‑Focused Therapy concentrates on processing distress linked to specific events and reducing their hold on daily life; online sessions can guide people through paced work on memories, reactions and grounding methods. Systemic Therapy examines relational patterns and roles; it helps spot how family or couple dynamics influence current problems and can suggest practical changes to communication.Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Together they decide whether to prioritise psychodynamic exploration, trauma‑focused techniques or systemic interventions and adapt the work as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also supports regular weekly sessions or a mix of longer and shorter meetings so therapy can fit around work and family commitments.
