About Beatriz
Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego is a counsellor registered with BACP and has worked in therapy for 15 years. She sees adults and offers sessions in English and Portuguese. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she works with a range of everyday concerns including anxiety, depression, loss and relationship issues.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to thoughts and habits that keep problems going, while also noticing how relationships and life events shape feelings. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, together with talking through past patterns that keep coming back.
Her background includes roles in higher education, community settings, healthcare and private practice. That variety has shaped a pragmatic approach to common problems such as stress, self-esteem and life changes. She also lists trauma, grief, intimacy-related concerns and compassion fatigue among her focus areas.
Beatriz is affirmative toward LGBT issues and notes particular experience supporting people through migration-related challenges. She also highlights additional focuses such as attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, and relationship and communication problems.
Sessions begin with an initial meeting to agree aims and how best to work together. Costs vary with location and are delivered via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted, and prospective clients are asked to use the online matching steps to arrange a first session.
How Beatriz uses approaches online and what to expect
Beatriz draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how patterns from past relationships affect current ones, and Client-Centred Therapy to keep the focus on the person’s concerns and goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses different methods with the client and decides together which to try based on the client’s goals, life situation and preferences. That collaborative choice guides what happens in subsequent sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let a client choose audio-only check-ins when a quieter or lower-bandwidth option is helpful. Practical arrangements are agreed in the first meeting so sessions fit into everyday life without assuming a particular format.
