Aleksandra Petrovic first began her training with a BA in Psychology from Columbia University, New York, followed by an MA from City University, New York, and a PGDip from Royal Holloway, University of London. She also holds certification from the Institute for Group Analysis, London. Her path has taken her through extensive experience in inpatient and outpatient services, working with children, adolescents, and adults, including as deputy clinical lead in an NHS psychology service, shaping the way she now works with clients.
In the therapy room, Ms Petrovic brings an integrative and collaborative approach. She draws on training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy (ST), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She has extensive experience working with children and young people aged 5–18, both individually and with families, in CAMHS, schools (including the Phoenix Arch School in London), and community settings. She works collaboratively to consider each client’s interests, strengths, and developmental needs, particularly when supporting behavioural, social, sensory, or emotional difficulties.
All clinicians at The Chelsea Psychology Clinic are trained to conduct comprehensive assessments, considering you as a whole person rather than a specific issue. They tailor treatment and integrate multiple therapeutic perspectives to create a plan that is both evidence-based and uniquely suited to you.
Ms Petrovic works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, addictions, complex trauma, and personality disorders. She has specialist experience working with eating disorders, including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, pica, binge eating, and ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), as well as body dysmorphic disorder, with or without eating difficulties. She also works with individuals with neurodivergent presentations (ADHD and ASD).
