About Sofia

Sofia Tanzanu is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with eight years of experience supporting people through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. She works from an integrative stance, combining approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered methods to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Sofia values a human and flexible way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all model. She often works with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened by past experiences, as well as those navigating relationship challenges or adjusting to life abroad. In sessions she offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore what is happening and to begin finding new options for moving forward.

Her practice is warm and empathetic, taking a holistic view of wellbeing and progressing at the client’s pace. Sofia is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Together with clients she focuses on building resilience, clarifying priorities, and working toward the practical changes a person wants to make.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sofia draws on several well-established approaches to help clients online. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and close relationships shape current patterns, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of work, supporting self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sofia works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the approach over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sofia offers flexible ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, support access from different locations within the United Kingdom, and allow sessions to continue when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to maintain continuity of care and tailor communication to what works best for the client.
