About Sabina

Sabina Petrine is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, family-related problems, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem issues. Sabina also lists life purpose and a range of sexual wellbeing and relationship topics among her focus areas.

Sabina prefers a straightforward, person-focused way of working. She aims to make conversations easy to follow, so people can talk through what feels difficult. Sessions tend to centre on what is happening now, while also looking at patterns that may have led to current problems.

Her background includes approaches from client-centred counselling, psychodynamic thinking, somatic methods and trauma-focused work. That means she mixes talking about feelings and past experiences with attention to how the body holds stress or shock. These methods are useful for anxiety, trauma, low mood and issues around identity and relationships.

People who come with questions about sexuality, kink or non-monogamous relationships will find these topics noted in her practice. She also supports those facing workplace strain, young adult challenges, feelings of emptiness, or gender dysphoria concerns.

Sessions are carried out in English and Sabina accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location. To begin, follow the site’s matching steps and schedule a first session.

Approaches used online and how they help

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and priorities. It involves listening without directing and helping someone clarify what matters to them. This approach is useful when someone feels unsure of next steps or wants a clearer sense of values and choices.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that repeat over time and the ways past experiences shape present feelings. In practice this can help with longstanding anxiety, relationship difficulties and feelings of emptiness by naming recurring themes and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of what the therapist will do together with the client. Sabina will discuss goals, preferences and how different methods might fit. That collaborative exploration helps shape sessions in a way that suits the person’s needs.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the 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. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can suit different practical needs. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt techniques so they work well over distance.
