About Petra
Her practice blends psychodynamic, trauma-focused, and systemic approaches with coaching-informed tools to explore emotional patterns, process difficult experiences, and improve interpersonal dynamics. Petra takes a warm, grounded, and collaborative stance - helping clients make sense of past influences while developing skills for present-day challenges.
She offers focused support around attachment and abandonment issues, blended family and family problems, caregiver stress, codependency and communication difficulties, dependent personality features, dissociation, divorce and separation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, immigration-related concerns, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness. This range of focus reflects an interest in both individual emotional work and relational problems that affect everyday life.
Petra provides therapy in English and Romanian and practices with the standards of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with clients located in the United Kingdom and applies a collaborative process to help people find clearer direction and greater emotional resilience.
Practices that translate well to online therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships; online sessions create a consistent space to reflect on these patterns and make meaningful connections between past and present. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing distressing experiences and building emotional regulation skills; in an online format, this approach can be used to pace work carefully and integrate grounding strategies between sessions. Systemic therapy looks at relationships and family patterns to understand problems in context - it is well suited to online work when partners or family members join from different locations or when individuals want to trace how interactions shape their wellbeing.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Petra will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames this as a joint exploration, adapting techniques over time based on what helps the client feel understood and make progress.
Online therapy offers practical benefits in scheduling and accessibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging to fit sessions into busy lives. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different ways of communicating, and access licensed professionals from home or work when in-person visits are not possible.
