About Sabina
Sabina Petrine helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and LGBT-related concerns. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and issues connected to family life. Sabina uses plain, steady language in sessions to make things easier to follow.
She builds a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they think and feel. Sabina emphasises listening first and tailoring the pace to each person. She encourages small steps that feel manageable rather than big leaps.
How Sabina works
Her background includes three years working as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential noted in her record. That experience has given her exposure to a range of concerns, from workplace stress to gender identity questions.
Sabina draws on a few different ways of working depending on what suits the client. She uses client-centred methods to follow the client’s priorities, psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and somatic and trauma-focused approaches when bodies and memories need careful attention. Sessions aim to be practical and grounded.
Clients can expect conversational work, gentle reflection on life patterns, and simple experiments to try between meetings. Sabina supports people who want clearer direction, more self-compassion, or relief from distressing memories. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She invites honest talk and partners with clients to set realistic goals and try approaches that fit everyday life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than the therapist. It involves open listening, reflecting what the client says and following their agenda to help them find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide next steps.Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that come from earlier experiences and how they show up now. It helps people notice repeated ways of relating or feeling and offers room to try new choices. This can be useful for those curious about why certain problems keep returning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a shared decision. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as trust and clarity grow. Clients are invited to discuss how each style fits their needs and to switch focus when necessary.
Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins and text messaging supports shorter or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options offer practical flexibility for people with varied schedules and locations.
