More about Petra

  • 8 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

Hi, I’m Alena — a UKCP-registered Psychotherapist, Certified Transactional Analyst, and ICF-accredited Coach. I bring over 8 years of clinical experience and 14+ years working in global organisations to support adults, couples, and groups through life’s complex challenges.

I specialise in anxiety, stress, identity, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative — combining Transactional Analysis with trauma-informed, CBT-integrated, and systemic tools.

You’ll find me especially attuned to neurodiversity, cultural identity, and LGBTQ+ experiences. I create safe, responsive spaces where all parts of you are welcome.

What sets me apart? I don’t just work with theory — I’ve lived the corporate world, navigated change, and supported people across cultures. I bring clinical skill and real-world empathy into the room, so you feel understood and empowered, not analysed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
