About Sofia
Sofia Tanzanu is a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist who focuses on anxiety and related stress. She brings eight years of experience and a calm, flexible approach to sessions. Sofia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
She speaks English and sees clients in the United Kingdom. Sofia adapts methods from attachment work, client-centred practice, and cognitive behavioural techniques to suit each person. She helps people untangle the effects of past hurt, manage worry, and cope with big life changes.
Background and approach
Sessions often include exploring patterns in relationships, easing social anxiety, and building more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. People come to Sofia for a wide range of concerns including grief, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and depression. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, commitment doubts, family problems, and chronic illness.
Her approach is practical - identifying small, steady steps that make daily life easier. Sofia works at a pace chosen by the client. She offers a warm, empathic presence and clear explanations of therapeutic ideas without jargon.
Conversations are designed to feel human and useful rather than clinical. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their schedule. Sofia supports people who want to build resilience, find clarity, and move toward changes that matter to them.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people relate now. It helps when patterns of trust or abandonment affect current relationships and emotional safety. Client-Centred Therapy centres the person’s own experience and feelings, offering a non-judgemental space where clients lead the pace and topics of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage worry, low mood and social fears.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sofia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel most useful. That collaborative process can include trying ideas from different approaches and adjusting them over time to fit how someone responds.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let sessions feel close to face-to-face and work well for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when video is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when writing helps express thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and support continuity of care when travel or relocation is a factor.
