About Petra
Petra Alena Todorov works from a psychodynamic, trauma-focused and systemic perspective. She draws on eight years of clinical practice to help people manage stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Petra is listed with BACP, which reflects her professional registration in the UK.
She speaks English and Romanian. Petra focuses on everyday problems that become heavy over time. She supports people facing grief, low self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, and loneliness.
Relationship concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, divorce and blended family challenges are also part of her work.
Background and approach
Her approach pays attention to past experiences and how they shape present patterns. Trauma-Focused methods are used when painful events affect daily life. Systemic ideas help map how relationships and family roles influence behaviour and feelings.
Sessions explore attachment wounds, abandonment fears and issues around codependency and dependent personality styles. Petra also helps people coping with caregiver stress, dissociation, immigration difficulties, guilt and shame. She blends reflective conversation with practical steps tailored to each person’s situation.
People who choose Petra can expect a collaborative tone. She aims to make conversations clear and purposeful. Practical coaching focuses on small changes that add up over time.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions that fit their schedule.

Approaches Petra lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. Petra will discuss your concerns, test what feels most helpful and adjust methods as the work progresses. Together you decide whether more reflective exploration, trauma-focused interventions or systemic mapping suits your goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or exchange short updates. These options make it easier to maintain continuity, fit therapy around busy days and try different formats until the best fit is found.
