Sofia Tanzanu, BACP

Sofia Tanzanu is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with eight years of clinical experience. She offers calm, practical support for people facing anxiety, stress, depression and the upheaval that comes with major life changes. Sofia keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what each person needs right now.

She uses an integrative way of working, blending attachment-focused ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. That mix is adjusted to suit the person in front of her rather than forcing one method on everyone. Sessions aim to help people understand patterns, manage difficult feelings, and develop clearer choices.

Sofia has spent much of her practice helping people cope after trauma and abuse, and with relationship and communication problems. She also supports those dealing with grief, compassion fatigue and the emotional strain of chronic illness. Midlife crisis and questions about life purpose are specifically noted as areas she addresses.

Her style is down-to-earth and empathetic. She works at a pace the person can manage and focuses on small, useful changes as well as deeper reflection. Conversations are intended to help people build resilience and regain a sense of direction.

Sofia is based in the United Kingdom and talks through cultural and multicultural concerns as part of her work. People can expect clear explanations about the approaches used and practical steps to try between sessions.

How Sofia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Sofia draws on attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how past bonds shape current feelings and reactions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers through supportive conversation. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviour, then tests practical ways to change them and reduce distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose which approaches to try. This collaborative way helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable for the person attending.

Session formats are not specified in Sofia’s biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility to arrange appointments around work or caregiving commitments and to maintain continuity if circumstances change.
