Sofia Tanzanu, BACP

Sofia Tanzanu is an accredited counsellor and psychotherapist who holds BACP accreditation, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With eight years of experience, she has supported people facing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions.

Sofia works in an integrative way, blending approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to suit each person she meets. She frames therapy as a human, flexible process rather than a one-size-fits-all model, adapting methods to what proves most helpful for the individual. Many people come to her feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or affected by past experiences, while others seek help for relationship struggles, adjusting to life abroad, or the emotional impact of chronic illness and caregiving.

Her manner is warm and empathetic, and she focuses on a holistic view of wellbeing. Sofia aims to offer a respectful space where people can explore their concerns at their own pace, build resilience, and clarify their priorities. Together with clients she works toward practical ways to manage stress, improve relationships, and move toward the life they want.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical benefits

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. In practice it helps people explore attachment-related worries, repair relationship patterns, and feel more secure in close relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the process, offering empathic listening and acceptance while the client sets the pace and direction of work. This approach supports self-exploration, building self-esteem, and finding clarity during periods of change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and introduces practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used alongside other approaches to provide concrete tools for coping.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Sofia works collaboratively with each person to identify which approach or combination will best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, remove travel barriers, and allow ongoing support from registered professionals in a way that suits the individual’s schedule and comfort.
