About Beatriz

Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego offers a clear, person-focused way of working that helps people talk through worries and life changes. She draws on fifteen years of clinical experience and keeps sessions straightforward and humane. Beatriz speaks English and Portuguese and practises in the United Kingdom.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Beatriz sees adults for individual therapy, online or by arranging sessions that fit around daily life.

Background and approach

She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression. She also supports those facing loss, relationship strain, eating and body-image concerns, and changes at work or in family roles. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and practical cognitive behavioural techniques.

That means she pays attention to relationship patterns, follows what each person brings, and uses simple tools to change unhelpful thinking and coping habits. She can also draw on dialectical behaviour and existential perspectives when people need help with emotional regulation or meaning-making. Beatriz aims for an open-ended conversation rather than a strict timetable.

Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most and agreeing on small, useful steps. She offers a calm space to name difficult feelings and to build new ways of coping. People who have moved countries or who prefer Portuguese often find speaking with her helpful.

To begin, the process starts online: complete a brief matching form and then arrange an initial appointment to see if it feels like a good fit.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Beatriz commonly uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people understand how past connections shape current reactions; it can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and communication problems. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what the person brings to the room, making space for emotions to be named and understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers simple, practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, stress and low mood.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Beatriz aims to decide collaboratively with each person which methods fit their goals and preferences. Early sessions are used to agree on what to work on and to try small techniques that suit the individual.

Online therapy with her is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make access easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and text or chat options are useful for people who prefer not to be on camera or who want flexible check-ins between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy around work, care duties or travel, while keeping the focus on real change and emotional support.
