Sofia Tanzanu

Sofia Tanzanu is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, trauma and major life changes. She offers a warm, human approach that adapts to each person's needs. Sofia aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and begin to make practical changes.

Her work draws on attachment-focused ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and client-centred practice. She mixes these approaches to match the issue at hand rather than sticking to one method. Sessions often include talking things through, noticing unhelpful patterns and practising small, manageable strategies to feel steadier day to day.

Sofia has supported people facing relationship difficulties, grief, and the strain of work-related compassion fatigue. She also helps with low self-esteem, feelings of emptiness, and isolation or loneliness. She is used to working with the impact of trauma and with those adjusting to life changes such as moving countries or shifting careers.

Her style is empathetic and down-to-earth. Sofia encourages people to set goals at their own pace and to try tools between sessions when that feels useful. She focuses on building resilience, clearer communication and a sense of direction.

People who choose to work with her can expect steady practical support alongside reflective conversation. The emphasis is on what helps someone feel more connected, capable and able to cope in everyday life.

How Sofia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how someone connects with others. It helps with feelings of abandonment, attachment issues and relationship anxiety by building awareness of relational patterns and new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's pace. It can help people feel heard and understood when they are processing grief, low self-worth or cultural adjustment. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replace them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, seasonal mood shifts and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and will collaborate with the person to choose or blend methods. That process is gradual and reviewed as progress is made, so approaches can be adapted over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from wherever someone is based in the United Kingdom. They may also allow shorter or more flexible sessions when required. Registered or accredited professionals will help match practical arrangements and therapy style to what suits each person best.
