About Petra Alena Todorov
Petra Alena Todorov is a psychotherapist and coach based in the United Kingdom with more than eight years of clinical practice and over 14 years of experience working in global organisations. She combines clinical training and practical workplace insight to support adults, couples, and groups facing complex life transitions and relationship challenges.
She holds multiple professional credentials, including UKCP registration - UKCP is the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy - membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), certification in Transactional Analysis - a therapy model that explores interpersonal patterns - and accreditation from the International Coaching Federation (ICF) as a coach. Petra integrates these backgrounds into a collaborative, grounded approach that blends Transactional Analysis with trauma-aware techniques, cognitive-behavioural elements, and systemic perspectives.
Her clinical focus encompasses stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem work, and relationship dynamics, alongside targeted attention to abandonment and attachment issues, blended family and caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and separation and divorce. She is also attuned to challenges related to cultural identity, immigration, isolation and loneliness, infidelity, guilt and shame, and dependent personality patterns.
Petra is known for being warm and responsive, creating a space where different parts of a person’s experience are noticed and explored. She pays particular attention to neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ experiences, aiming to bring both clinical skill and real-world empathy to sessions so clients feel understood and empowered rather than analysed. She offers therapy in English and Romanian and is currently accepting clients within the United Kingdom.
