About Sofia

Sofia Tanzanu is a counsellor and psychotherapist who draws on several therapeutic styles to meet each person’s needs. She works with issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties. Sofia uses practical conversation and steady support to help people feel less overwhelmed and more able to cope.

With eight years of experience, Sofia adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than following a single formula.

Background and approach

She blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to suit different problems and personalities. This means sessions might include exploring past relationships, focusing on present thoughts and behaviours, or simply being heard and understood. People often see her when life feels stuck or when past events keep coming back.

She also helps those dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, or big life changes like moving country. Sofia pays attention to how cultural background and identity shape experience and adjustment. Sessions are straightforward and paced to the individual.

Sofia encourages practical steps alongside emotional processing, for example identifying unhelpful thinking patterns or trying new ways of communicating. She aims for clarity and small, steady change rather than sudden fixes. Sofia is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom and works online using a range of formats to suit different routines and needs.

How Sofia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current connections. Online sessions can explore attachment needs and history, helping people recognise repeated patterns and try different ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, which suits gentle, reflective online conversations and slower progress on sensitive topics.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In remote sessions this often involves identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small behavioural experiments between sessions, and using practical tools to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sofia will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals, values and day-to-day life. She adapts techniques as therapy progresses so the plan evolves with the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins, emotional regulation between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling simpler and help therapy fit around work, family and travel.
