Sofia Tanzanu , BACP

Sofia Tanzanu is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist (BACP) based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience supporting people facing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and major life changes. She works with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened by past experiences, as well as those adjusting to life abroad or navigating complicated relationship dynamics. Sofia blends practical skillsets from different therapeutic traditions to meet each person where they are.

Her style is integrative and adaptable - drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based approaches, and client-centered methods to tailor sessions to individual needs. She values a human, flexible approach instead of a one-size-fits-all model, creating a warm and empathetic space where clients can explore their concerns at a comfortable pace. Sofia focuses on helping people build resilience, gain clarity, and develop new ways of coping that align with their goals and values.

Accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Sofia aims to work collaboratively with clients, prioritizing what matters most to each person and supporting steady progress toward a more manageable and meaningful life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Sofia Tanzanu

Sofia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods to support people in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current connections and emotional responses - it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and patterns of trust or closeness. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people discover their own solutions and build self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sofia works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time so therapy remains relevant and helpful.

Online therapy with Sofia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and integrate therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional.
