About Sofia
Sofia Tanzanu is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom through anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. Sofia regularly helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what comes next after a big change.
She uses several approaches and adapts them to suit each person. In practice this means she listens first, then suggests methods that can help with symptoms and patterns that keep repeating. Sofia often combines attachment-focused work with cognitive strategies and a person-centred emphasis on the client's perspective.
Many people come to her when life shifts leave them uncertain about purpose or direction. She also works with grief, compassion fatigue, chronic pain and long-term illness, and issues around abandonment and commitment. Sofia offers practical ways to manage anxiety, low mood and social anxiety alongside conversations about values and life choices.
Sofia has experience helping people adjust to life abroad and navigate multicultural concerns. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and focused. She pays attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviours and uses that understanding to suggest concrete next steps.
Clients can expect clear discussion of goals and regular review of progress. Sofia invites people to try different approaches within therapy and to set the pace. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking an initial session.
How Sofia’s approaches work for online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current feelings and ways of relating. In online sessions this helps identify patterns that make people feel stuck in relationships or anxious about closeness. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It is useful for people who need a steady, respectful space to sort out priorities and consider life purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with concrete exercises and practical strategies that can be used between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sofia will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit best for a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something feels unhelpful or isn’t producing the hoped-for progress.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity after a move or during periods of change. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to help people manage symptoms, clarify values, and plan next steps in everyday life.
