About Sofia Tanzanu

Sofia Tanzanu is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings eight years of experience supporting people through anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Sofia works in an integrative way, drawing on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. She rejects a one-size-fits-all model and adapts techniques and pace to fit what helps an individual feel understood and make practical changes.

Many of the people she supports arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or affected by past experiences that still influence daily life. Others seek help with relationship difficulties, adjusting to life abroad, or coping with grief and change. Sofia offers a warm, empathetic presence where concerns can be explored and new perspectives developed.

Her style is holistic and collaborative. Together with clients she focuses on what matters most to them, helping to build resilience, increase clarity, and take steps toward the life they want. Sofia provides therapy in English and is based in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online sessions



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It helps people explore attachment needs and respond differently in close relationships, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, trust concerns, and repeating relationship patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person as the expert on their own experience. The therapist provides empathic listening, acceptance, and support to help clients explore feelings, increase self-understanding, and build confidence to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sofia works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts the mix of techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and access support from home. Registered professionals can adapt their work to these formats so therapy remains focused, responsive, and accessible.
