Petronela Antemia

Petronela Antemia is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, anger and relationship difficulties. She also helps with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and sleep or eating concerns. Petronela works with people navigating life changes and those managing ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

With seven years' experience and a BACP registration, Petronela adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She prefers clear, respectful dialogue and aims to build a helpful working relationship. Her style is practical and supportive, focusing on what feels useful right now.

Petronela uses a mix of client-centred listening and cognitive-behavioural tools to address thoughts and patterns. She also draws on existential ideas to look at meaning and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable goals. These approaches are used to manage anger, improve communication, and reduce day-to-day distress.

People can expect sessions that examine current problems and test simple strategies between meetings. Work may include identifying triggers, trying new ways of responding, and reviewing what changes helped. Petronela encourages manageable steps rather than large, immediate transformations.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Petronela offers therapy via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, space to talk through feelings, and support to make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and experiments with practical techniques to reduce anxiety, anger or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then together agree which methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can shift as progress is seen or priorities change.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focussed check-ins between other commitments. It can also let someone choose quieter times, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that makes it easier to take part.
