Petra Alena Todorov, BACP

Petra Alena Todorov is a psychotherapist and coach who brings eight years of clinical practice together with more than 14 years of experience in global organisations. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Her work focuses on anxiety, stress, identity, emotional regulation and relationship dynamics, alongside grief and self-esteem concerns. Petra uses a warm, grounded and collaborative style, drawing on Transactional Analysis alongside trauma-informed, CBT-integrated and systemic tools to tailor support to each person’s needs. This blend allows her to address both present-day difficulties and the patterns beneath them.

Petra is particularly attuned to neurodiversity, cultural identity and LGBTQ+ experiences, and she aims to create a responsive space where different parts of a person’s life are welcomed and explored. Having worked across cultures and in corporate settings, she combines clinical skill with practical, real-world understanding so people feel supported and empowered rather than analysed. Petra works in English and Romanian and practices from the United Kingdom, offering adults, couples and groups guidance through change, loss and relationship challenges.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy Sessions

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people uncover recurring themes in relationships, identity and emotional responses so they can make different choices in the present.

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing responses linked to traumatic events. It supports people who struggle with overwhelming memories, dissociation, or intense emotional reactions by helping them work through difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Systemic therapy looks at relationships and family systems, examining how interactions and roles influence individual wellbeing. It’s useful for couples, blended families and anyone wanting to address communication problems or patterns that arise within relational networks.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Petra works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify methods that match the client’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. This range of options makes it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, caregiving and geographic limitations.
