ABOUT Petra 

Petra Samlow is a psychotherapist and Certified Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT®) Practitioner based in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire. She offers evidence-informed psychotherapy, RTT hypnotherapy, and couples counselling, working both in person and online with clients across Australia and internationally. ​ Drawing on formal training in psychology, neuroscience-informed practice, and over two decades of experience working with people across diverse cultures and life contexts, Petra supports clients to create meaningful and sustainable change. Her approach is grounded in a clear understanding of how the mind and nervous system operate, while remaining deeply attuned to each person’s lived experience. ​ Petra has a particular interest in working with individuals who are healing from childhood trauma and complex relational experiences. Her clinical focus is informed not only by formal training in psychology and trauma-informed practice, but also by a deep understanding of how early life adversity can shape adult emotional patterns, self-belief, and relationships. This perspective is one of the reasons she was drawn to study psychology and to support others in making sense of their inner worlds with clarity, compassion, and care. ​ Many of Petra’s clients describe themselves as high-functioning but exhausted — capable and accomplished, yet struggling with stress, anxiety, burnout, or disconnection in their relationships. Petra’s integrative style combines insight-based psychotherapy with practical, solution-focused tools to help restore balance, resilience, and self-understanding. ​ She also works extensively with couples who want to rebuild trust, improve communication, and deepen emotional connection. Whether working individually or together, Petra provides a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can safely explore patterns, heal emotional wounds, and grow. Sessions are available in person in Caringbah, NSW, and online via Zoom for clients across Australia and internationally.
