About Sabina
Sabina Petrine offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and concerns tied to LGBT identity. She helps with self-esteem issues and family-related strain. Her way of working aims to make it easier to talk about painful feelings and confusing situations.
Sabina uses a calm, listening-led approach that puts the person’s experience first. She creates space for people to describe what matters to them and helps them find practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding patterns, noticing physical reactions, and trying small changes that feel doable. Her background includes three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom, and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is the credential listed in her profile.
In sessions she may draw on client-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ideas about past experience and somatic work that pays attention to the body. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her approach when trauma or abuse is a concern. The emphasis is on working at a pace that suits the individual.
She accepts clients from outside the UK and conducts work in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability through the Start Therapy button on the site.

How Sabina’s approaches translate to online work
Sabina combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic and somatic ideas in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows the person’s lead to build understanding and trust; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and identity concerns. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from past experience and helps make sense of repeated feelings or reactions. Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily sensations and how the body holds stress or trauma, helping people notice and work with those sensations.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sabina will talk with a person about their needs, goals and what feels manageable. Together they will try options and adjust the focus over time so the work fits the person’s situation and pace.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so check the site to confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. It can also let people use a quieter space, avoid long commutes and maintain continuity when life is busy or changing.
