Sofia Tanzanu, BACP

Sofia uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice and change patterns in close relationships. This work looks at how early connections shape current trust and closeness, which can help with loneliness, abandonment worries and relationship strain.

Client-centred therapy is part of her core approach. It focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters most to the person in front of her. This can be useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to make sense of difficult feelings.

She also brings cognitive behavioural techniques to sessions to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT-style tools often involve practical exercises and small experiments to test different ways of thinking and coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sofia will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day realities and then try methods that suit the person best. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made along the way based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, need flexible timing or want a less formal way to reflect between sessions.

Registered and accredited professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, and Sofia uses them to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
