About Beatriz

Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego welcomes people who are weighing whether now is the right time to speak with a professional and aims to make that decision easier with clear information and a compassionate tone. She is an experienced Clinical Psychologist and counsellor who has worked across higher education, community services, healthcare settings and in private practice. She sees adults individually, offering sessions both online and in person from her consulting room in Oxford, United Kingdom.

Her work is offered as open-ended psychotherapy and is grounded in a psychodynamic perspective that explores recurring patterns, past experiences and how these shape current thoughts and relationships. Beatriz strives to provide a compassionate space where clients can express emotions and explore concerns at their own pace while developing a therapeutic conversation tailored to each person’s needs.

She specialises in supporting people facing loss, relationship and self-esteem difficulties, life transitions, anxiety and depression, and she works affirmatively with LGBTQIA+ clients. As a migrant to the UK, she understands the particular challenges that can accompany moving between cultures and languages and so offers sessions in English and Portuguese.

Beatriz holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and offers an initial session to consider whether ongoing psychotherapy would be helpful. She encourages anyone with questions to get in touch to learn more about potential next steps.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

Beatriz commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating formed in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections and emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace of exploration and develops greater self-understanding and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Beatriz will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best with their goals, preferences and life circumstances. That collaborative process supports tailoring sessions rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Beatriz is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access support from home or while balancing work and family commitments. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and registered professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
