About Sofia

Sofia Tanzanu works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship problems using an integrative approach that draws on attachment work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural techniques. She is a BACP counsellor with eight years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Sofia adapts different methods to fit each person rather than using one set method for everyone. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with overwhelming feelings and on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions. She helps people talk through grief, compassion fatigue and the effects of chronic illness in clear, step-by-step conversations.

People often come to Sofia feeling stuck, isolated or unsure how to move forward after a difficult event. She offers steady, structured conversations to unpack painful memories, improve communication and reduce unhelpful patterns of thought. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and test unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect present connections and commitment concerns. Client-centred work means the person’s own goals guide the sessions and the pace of change. Sofia also supports work on life-stage issues such as midlife reassessment and adapting to major life changes.

Her practice covers a wide range of issues including abandonment, family problems, guilt and shame, social anxiety, seasonal mood difficulties and questions around life purpose. Sessions are conducted in English and Sofia works from the United Kingdom.

How Sofia uses attachment, client-centred and CBT online

Sofia commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships influence current patterns in how people relate and cope. This approach helps when commitment issues, communication problems or feelings of abandonment are central concerns.

Client-centred work focuses on what the person wants to achieve. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflects their experience and helps them set goals at a comfortable pace. This approach suits people who prefer to shape sessions around their personal priorities.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. CBT-style work is practical and problem-focused, and can help with anxiety, low mood and social worries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and agree a plan based on the person’s concerns, goals and preferences, so sessions are a collaborative process.
