About Petra
Petra Alena Todorov uses Systemic therapy alongside psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches to help people make sense of difficult feelings and relationship patterns. She offers practical support for anxiety, stress, grief and low self-esteem. Petra works in English and Romanian and is based in the United Kingdom.
Petra has eight years of clinical experience. Her background includes roles in organisations where she supported people through change and identity challenges. That experience informs how she hears workplace-related stress and cultural pressures in sessions.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for recurring patterns in relationships and family dynamics. She helps people spot how past experiences shape present reactions. Together they map small, practical changes to break unhelpful cycles and ease everyday strain.
When trauma or overwhelming events are part of the picture, Petra uses trauma-focused ideas to help manage memories and bodily responses. She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at deeper feelings and unconscious patterns when clients want that work. People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style.
Petra aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life. She supports clients who want practical coping tools, clearer relationships, or help rebuilding after loss. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Fees vary with location and therapist availability and are managed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.
Online support
Working systemically online with trauma-aware and psychodynamic tools
Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and everyday patterns influence feelings and behaviour. It helps people understand how family, work and social ties keep certain problems repeating and supports simple changes to those patterns.Psychodynamic work explores deeper feelings and long-standing ways of being. It can help when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways or feel stuck in recurring roles. Trauma-focused approaches address the effects of upsetting events and aim to reduce overwhelming memories or bodily reactions so people can function better day to day.
Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the process. Petra will discuss goals and preferences and work together with clients to choose what feels most useful. That collaborative planning means the therapy can shift as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls suit face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping the focus on progress.
