About Sofia
Sofia Tanzanu is a counsellor with eight years of practice supporting people through anxiety, stress, grief and other hard moments. She works in a warm, person-focused way that aims to make therapy feel approachable and grounded. Sofia writes in plain terms and helps clients untangle problems at a human pace.
Her main method starts from the person’s experience and priorities. That means sessions centre on what matters most to the individual rather than fitting them to a fixed model. Sofia also draws on ideas from attachment work and cognitive behavioural approaches when they seem helpful.
She has supported people coping with trauma and abuse, long-term low mood, and feeling stuck after big life changes. Relationship struggles, compassion fatigue and issues around self-esteem are common themes in her work. She also helps with less often named concerns such as abandonment, isolation, chronic illness, and difficulties with commitment and communication.
Sofia aims to build steady, practical steps that clients can try between sessions. Conversations will often include looking at patterns, testing small changes, and noticing what gives relief. The pace is collaborative and adjusts to each person’s readiness.
Based in the United Kingdom, Sofia works in English and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sofia uses a client-centred approach that starts by listening closely to each person’s experience and priorities. That method helps make online conversations feel focused on what matters most to the client rather than on a rigid plan.Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this perspective to notice how people respond in close relationships and to practise new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer practical steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be worked on in between remote sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and sessions are adjusted to what helps most.
Please confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helps fit counselling into busy lives by removing travel, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, and allowing sessions from quieter surroundings. It can also make attendance simpler when juggling work, health or caregiving commitments.
