Petra Alena Todorov , BACP

Petra Alena Todorov brings clinical training and real-world experience together to support adults, couples, and groups through challenging life changes. She combines more than eight years of hands-on clinical practice with over 14 years working in global organisations, using that blend of perspectives to help people navigate anxiety, stress, identity questions, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics.

She is UKCP-registered, which means she is registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy, a Certified Transactional Analyst trained in Transactional Analysis, and an ICF-accredited Coach accredited by the International Coach Federation. Those qualifications inform a warm, grounded, and collaborative style that draws on transactional analysis alongside trauma-informed, CBT-integrated, and systemic tools.

Petra is particularly attentive to neurodiversity, cultural identity, and LGBTQ+ experiences, and she shapes sessions to welcome all parts of a person. Her workplace background gives her insight into organisational life and career transitions, while her clinical skillset supports deeper emotional work. The result is a practical, empathetic approach that aims to help people feel understood and better equipped to make changes rather than simply analysed.

Psychodynamic, Trauma-Informed, and Systemic Care Online

Petra integrates psychodynamic work to explore how early relationships and past patterns influence present feelings and behaviour - this approach can help with identity issues, attachment concerns, and recurring relationship difficulties. Trauma-focused therapy is used to address the impact of distressing events and to support processing of difficult memories and emotional responses in a paced, trauma-informed way. Systemic therapy looks at relationships and family dynamics as part of a wider network, helping when difficulties arise in blended families, during separation, or amid ongoing communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Petra works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the work stays relevant and responsive to what a client wants to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations within the therapist's service area. These formats make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each person.
