Sabina Petrine, BACP
Sabina Petrine helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and issues related to LGBT identity.
About Sabina
Sabina Petrine helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people dealing with trauma, low self-esteem and family concerns. Sabina works with matters around sexuality, including BDSM and kink, gender dysphoria, polyamory and sexual assault or abuse.
Sabina keeps sessions straightforward and calm. She aims to create an open space where people can talk without feeling judged. That approach is intended to make it easier to try new ways of coping and to make small, steady changes.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to understand what matters most to each person. She also uses somatic and trauma-focused approaches where feelings in the body or past hurt need attention. These methods are used flexibly to match each persons situation.
Sabina has three years of professional experience and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. People often come to Sabina for help with workplace strain, feeling empty, questions of life purpose, forgiveness, and the particular pressures faced by young adults and women.
She supports those exploring their sexuality or non-monogamous relationships in a non-judgemental way. When someone is ready to begin, Sabina focuses on listening first and then setting simple goals together. The emphasis is on practical steps and honest conversation, paced to suit each person.

Online support
Somatic Therapy pays attention to sensations in the body as well as thoughts. It helps when stress or trauma shows up as tension, panic or numbness, using gentle practices to notice and work with those physical signals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sabina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and comfort level. That might mean starting with listening and goal-setting, then adding psychodynamic or somatic elements as things unfold.
Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and hold a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when camera use is tiring, and they need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging works well for quick check-ins, journalling between sessions, or for people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and travel, and to keep continuity when life gets busy.
