Sofia Tanzanu uses a blend of attachment work, client-centred listening and practical cognitive techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes. She is BACP accredited and has eight years of experience supporting people through low mood, trauma and relationship difficulties. Sofia keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.

She adapts her approach to suit individual needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Background and approach

That can mean a conversational, person-centred session one week and activity-based cognitive work the next. The emphasis is on clear steps you can try between sessions as well as making space to talk. Sofia often helps people who feel stuck by old patterns linked to attachment, abandonment or shame.

She also supports those dealing with chronic illness and pain, seasonal low mood, or the emotional strain of life transitions. Conversations include practical coping strategies and ways to rebuild self-esteem. Her style is warm and direct.

She focuses on building a steady working relationship and on small, achievable changes. People meet a thoughtful listener who also offers structured tools when needed. Sofia works with multicultural concerns and the emotional effects of moving or living abroad.

Sessions are tailored to priorities such as improving communication, reducing social anxiety or tackling feelings of emptiness. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable daily life.

How Sofia’s approaches work online

Sofia offers attachment-based work that looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when abandonment, trust or closeness cause repeated problems in relationships.

She also uses a client-centred way of working which focuses on being listened to and understood. That method gives space for whatever matters most to the person and helps build a steady working relationship.

Finally, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to break unhelpful thinking and behaviour cycles. CBT provides practical tasks and short exercises that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sofia will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then adapt methods over time. The process is collaborative and driven by the client’s pace and priorities.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video lets conversations feel more like in-person meetings, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility limitations while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional support.
