Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego, BACP

Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego offers a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy. She uses the therapeutic conversation to help people make sense of difficult feelings and choices. Sessions aim to be a calm place to talk about stress, relationships, identity, grief and intimacy concerns.

She brings 15 years of experience working across higher education, community settings, healthcare and private practice in the United Kingdom. Beatriz sees adults individually and runs sessions in English and Portuguese. She describes her practice as grounded in psychodynamic ideas while drawing on other approaches to suit each person.

In sessions she encourages people to talk about what matters most to them. That can include anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, eating concerns, career strain and changes like separation or bereavement. She also supports people exploring sexual and intimacy-related issues and work around kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Her ways of working include client-centred conversations and attachment-focused thinking, with practical ideas from cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of dialectical practice where helpful. Therapy may be open-ended so there is time to go deeper, or more focused when people prefer short-term work.

Beatriz believes the relationship you build together is central. She offers an initial session to discuss goals and see if the match feels right. The practice is based in the UK and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches applied to online work

Beatriz uses attachment-informed thinking to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings. This approach looks at how we relate to others and can be useful for worries about intimacy, relationship patterns and abandonment concerns.

She also works in a client-centred way, offering a listening stance that follows what the person brings to the room. That method is helpful for building trust, exploring identity and processing grief or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Beatriz will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to use. Sometimes sessions focus on exploring feelings; other times they include practical cognitive behavioural techniques or dialectical strategies for emotion regulation.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow continuity when life circumstances change. Session formats were not fully specified in the biography, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. The practical aim is to make therapy accessible and to shape the way of working so it fits daily life and goals.
