About Beatriz
Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego uses a blend of therapies to help people find clearer ways forward. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred principles and cognitive behavioural techniques to address anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. Beatriz is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Portuguese.
She holds BACP accreditation and has fifteen years of experience supporting adults. Her background includes roles in higher education, community services, healthcare and independent practice.
How Beatriz works
That variety shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of working. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how patterns from the past affect present choices. In sessions she encourages open conversation and careful listening.
People can expect a calm space to talk about grief, self-esteem, depression, career questions and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with eating concerns, compassion fatigue and coping with big life changes. Beatriz uses specific techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy when thinking patterns and behaviours need changing.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence emotional responses. Client-centred elements make space for the person’s own pace and goals. Therapy is offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
International clients are not accepted. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How attachment, client-centred and CBT work online
Beatriz commonly combines attachment-based work, client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice and change repeated responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace so goals emerge from the individual, not the therapist. Cognitive behavioural therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with clear exercises that can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of therapy rather than a fixed starting point. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit best, adjust the plan as goals evolve and check in about what feels useful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to personal needs and circumstances.
Online therapy here is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone calls can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel.
