Sabina Petrine, BACP

Sabina Petrine is a licensed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family difficulties, issues related to gender and LGBT identity, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. Her practice also addresses a range of relational and sexual concerns, including polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, BDSM and kink culture, sexual violence, and gender dysphoria.

Holding the credential BACP - which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Sabina offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients are invited to explore their thoughts and feelings. She emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, helping people take the first steps toward meaningful change and greater wellbeing. Sabina aims to meet each person where they are, working at a pace that feels manageable while addressing both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns. Her approach is attentive to identity, sexuality, and relational dynamics, and she supports young adults and women navigating life transitions and workplace or personal challenges.

Clients seeking an affirmative, trauma-aware counsellor who is comfortable discussing alternative sexual cultures and complex relationship structures may find Sabina a good fit. She focuses on helping people build self-awareness, resilience, and clearer direction as they move toward a more fulfilling life.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Sabina draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where people are heard and guided according to their own values and goals. This approach focuses on understanding the client’s perspective and building trust, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, identity questions, and relationship concerns.

She also uses trauma-focused methods to address the effects of abuse and overwhelming experiences, helping clients process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact. For those who carry tension or somatic symptoms, Somatic Therapy offers attention to bodily experience and regulation, supporting relief from stress and connections between physical sensations and emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sabina will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, or through live chat and text messaging - making it easier to fit support into busy schedules, to access care from different locations, and to maintain continuity when life circumstances change.
