Sofia Tanzanu, BACP

Sofia Tanzanu is a counsellor and psychotherapist who places relationship and attachment at the heart of her work. She combines person-centred care with practical tools to help people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. Sofia has eight years of experience working with issues such as trauma, grief and compassion fatigue.

She adapts therapeutic styles to fit each person rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on listening first, then building small, usable steps to make everyday life feel more manageable. That can mean looking at thought patterns, improving communication, or exploring how past relationships affect present choices.

Many people come to Sofia feeling overwhelmed, stuck or weighed down by earlier experiences. Others seek help with relationship difficulties, adapting to big life changes, or navigating feelings of isolation and emptiness. She offers a steady, non-judgemental space to talk things through and try out different ways of coping.

Sofia uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) depending on what a person needs. She aims to help people build resilience and find clearer direction through a mixture of supportive listening and concrete techniques.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Work proceeds at the client’s pace, with attention to practical change as well as emotional understanding. People who want to explore roots of distress while learning everyday strategies may find this approach helpful.

How Sofia’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy places emphasis on relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. In practice this means looking at patterns in close relationships and using the therapy relationship itself to try out safer ways of connecting. This can help with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship distress.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and meeting each person where they are. Sessions give people space to make sense of their experience while the counsellor follows their lead and reflects what matters most. This approach is useful when people need acceptance and clarity before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and introduces small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and social phobia by breaking problems into manageable steps and practising new skills between sessions.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process helps tailor the way sessions are run and the techniques used.

The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so check current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel and use shorter check-ins when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like CBT exercises and attachment-focused conversation to remote sessions so therapy fits into everyday life.
