About Sofia
Sofia Tanzanu is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses a blend of approaches to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past hurts. She works in a warm, empathic way and adapts therapy to each person's needs. Sofia holds BACP, which indicates she is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registrant.
Sofia has eight years of practice supporting people with anxiety and depression. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, relationship strain, grief and major life changes.
Background and approach
Many clients come when everyday stress feels too heavy or when self-esteem and purpose are muddled. Her work mixes attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations about early patterns and current thoughts are used alongside practical steps to change unhelpful behaviour.
Sessions move at the client's pace and focus on whatever matters most to them. Sofia pays attention to issues that often sit beneath presenting problems. She offers help around abandonment and attachment worries, communication and commitment questions, guilt and shame, and long-term health or chronic pain challenges.
She also supports people facing isolation, multicultural pressures, or seasonal low mood. Therapy aims to build clearer thinking, steadier emotion regulation and stronger everyday coping. Sofia encourages small, achievable changes so people can gradually feel more able to manage life and relationships.
