About Beatriz

Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego uses a psychodynamic-informed, person-centred way of working. She writes in plain language and aims to make therapy feel straightforward. Beatriz speaks English and Portuguese and is based in the United Kingdom.

She has BACP registration and 15 years of experience in different settings. Beatriz offers one-to-one therapy that can be open-ended. Sessions are offered online or by phone, video, chat or text messaging.

She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and those facing big life changes or career uncertainty.

Background and approach

Her practice pays attention to relationship patterns and early attachment experiences. That means she helps people notice recurring ways they think and feel about themselves and others, and how those patterns affect everyday life. She also uses practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches to help manage difficult thoughts and moods.

Issues commonly addressed include low self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, eating and body-image struggles, and the emotional impact of trauma or abuse. She also offers support around LGBT matters, compassion fatigue and caregiving strain. Additional work can include attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Beatriz aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. She offers an initial session so prospective clients and the counsellor can agree whether to continue together. Practical steps for starting are provided through the platform's matching and scheduling process.

How Beatriz's Approaches Work Online

Beatriz draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people notice repeated difficulties in close relationships or struggle with trust and intimacy. She also uses client-centred practice, which means conversations are guided by the person's concerns and pace rather than a fixed agenda. This approach helps people feel heard and to arrange therapy around what matters to them.

She may also bring cognitive behavioural techniques into sessions to teach concrete ways to manage anxious or low mood symptoms. These tools are useful for problem-focused work such as changing unhelpful thought patterns or building steady routines. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work; the therapist and client will decide together which methods suit the client's goals, needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is helpful for longer conversations where seeing facial cues matters, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer written reflection. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel and everyday life.
