About Petronela

Petronela Antemia is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports clients with grief, anger, eating and sleeping concerns, intimacy issues, ADHD and parenting stresses. Petronela explains things simply and meets people where they are.

Her approach is warm and practical. She listens first and adapts sessions to each person's needs. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and on small, achievable steps that can ease daily life.

Background and approach

Petronela uses methods drawn from client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people understand thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on existential ideas to look at values and meaning, and solution-focused techniques to build clear goals and actions.

Over seven years she has worked with a wide range of difficulties, including attachment concerns, abandonment, codependency, dissociation and the effects of domestic violence. She supports people dealing with family problems, communication breakdowns, guilt and shame, and the aftermath of separation. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Petronela aims to create a respectful space where people can explore what matters to them and try out new ways of coping and relating.

How Petronela’s approaches work online

Client-centred therapy places your experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows your lead to understand what matters most and what you want to change. This approach helps when you need empathy and space to make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build small behaviour changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. This style is useful for stress, anxiety, eating or sleeping difficulties and managing anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Petronela will discuss options and adapt methods based on your goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative so you can try different ways of working and keep what helps the most.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see body language and build rapport, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a busy day, while chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family or travel.
