About Sofia

Sofia Tanzanu is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, grief, compassion fatigue and major life changes. Sofia also supports those who are struggling with relationship problems and questions about life purpose.

Her approach blends different methods rather than sticking to a single model. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred practice, and cognitive behavioural tools, choosing what fits each person. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client wants to address first.

Sofia often meets people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by past experiences, or unsure how to move on after a big change. She also has experience with issues linked to multicultural adjustment and illness or chronic pain. Conversations typically include looking at patterns in relationships and how past connections shape current feelings.

In practice she listens for what matters most and then tries small, workable steps to test new ways of coping. That might mean noticing unhelpful thoughts using CBT techniques, exploring attachment patterns, or using client-centred questions to clarify values and priorities. The aim is steady, practical progress rather than quick fixes.

People who contact her are guided through a short matching questionnaire and then offered a first session to agree goals. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Sofia uses attachment, client‑centred work and CBT online

Sofia draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and past relationships shape current patterns. This can help when people notice repeating relationship difficulties, abandonment fears or trouble trusting others.

Client-centred practice means the conversation is guided by the person’s concerns and priorities. The therapist listens with open questions and reflections so clients can clarify what matters and what to try next.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test alternative ways of thinking and behaving. CBT methods can be useful for anxiety, low mood and specific patterns that keep someone stuck.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sofia will discuss preferences, goals and practical needs and together they decide which methods to try and for how long. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work unfolds.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and offer shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy manageable alongside everyday life.
