About Sofia
Sofia Tanzanu is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works from an integrative approach. She blends attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural tools to create practical support. Sofia keeps sessions straightforward and warm, helping people who feel overwhelmed or stuck to find clearer ways forward.
Sofia has eight years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She often works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Many people also come for help with relationship strain, low self-esteem, and coping with big life changes. Her style is calm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with room to talk through past experiences and current problems.
She draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns in relationships and on CBT to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sofia also supports people with concerns such as abandonment, commitment worries, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and multicultural issues. She offers practical ways to manage seasonal mood shifts, chronic pain or illness, and questions about life purpose or midlife change.
Work with Sofia is collaborative and paced to each individual. Conversations aim to build coping skills, reduce distress, and increase self-compassion. The overall goal is clearer thinking and kinder ways of relating to oneself and others.

Approaches Sofia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Choosing the right way of working is a joint process. Sofia will listen to a person’s concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest which approach or mix might help most. This collaborative planning means the therapy can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging gives flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are helpful when body language and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it simpler to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the therapeutic focus intact.
