About Sofia
Sofia Tanzanu is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and eight years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and social anxiety and phobia. Sofia also supports those coping with life changes, relationship issues, grief and compassion fatigue.
Sofia uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She adapts these styles to what helps each person most, rather than following a single method. In sessions she listens to what is worrying someone, then tries practical ways to reduce overwhelming thoughts and reactions. Her practical focus includes managing symptoms of anxiety and seasonal low mood, addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, and working with guilt, shame or isolation. She also helps people dealing with chronic illness or midlife changes. Sessions are offered in English and arranged from the United Kingdom. To begin, Sofia asks about what matters most and what has already been tried. Together with the person she sets simple, achievable goals and reviews progress so the work stays relevant to everyday life.
How Sofia's approaches translate to online work
Sofia combines attachment-based thinking, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques in a straightforward way. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds influence current feelings and reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood, with the counsellor following the person’s lead to identify what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that keep anxiety or low mood going.Picking the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. Sofia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then work with the person to try different methods and review what helps. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around daily life and reducing travel time. Online appointments can make it easier to attend from a quieter place or to have a shorter check-in when time or energy is limited. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the available session options before booking to make sure they fit your needs.
