About Petronela
Petronela Antemia is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, grief and the challenges of life changes. Petronela aims to treat everyone with respect and sensitivity.
She focuses on helping people take practical steps toward feeling better. Her style is collaborative and personal. Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Petronela listens first, and then works with each person to set realistic goals and small steps forward. She uses a mix of talking techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and emotional reactions. Over seven years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including sleeping and eating difficulties, intimacy issues, parental stress and ADHD-related coping.
She also supports people struggling with attachment, abandonment and body-image worries. Petronela brings calm persistence to difficult topics and helps people build new ways of managing day-to-day life. Her approaches include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies.
These methods are used to find practical changes and to understand deeper meaning when that is helpful. Petronela explains options clearly and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
She works online through a subscription model so appointments can be arranged around people’s schedules. To begin, a short questionnaire is completed and then a session is scheduled according to availability.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT-style work is useful for tackling low mood, anxiety, sleeping problems and unhelpful routines by practising small changes and new ways of thinking.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Petronela will discuss options in early sessions and work with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals. This is a collaborative conversation and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited local options. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels better. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while still getting ongoing professional support.
