About Beatriz

Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego offers psychotherapy rooted in psychodynamic and attachment ideas that focus on how past experiences shape present relationships and feelings. She uses a thoughtful, person-centred approach to help people understand patterns that cause distress. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text, and are conducted in English or Portuguese.

Beatriz has around 15 years of experience working across higher education, community and healthcare settings, and in independent practice in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach

She sees adults for one-to-one work and offers open-ended psychotherapy when that fits the person's needs. People often come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns. In sessions she aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can talk about difficult emotions and life changes.

Conversations explore how early attachments, life transitions and identity issues connect with current struggles. This includes attention to LGBT concerns and the particular stresses that can come from moving to a new country or culture. Her approach blends client-centred listening with techniques drawn from cognitive and behavioural frameworks and skills-based work where helpful.

She also draws on ideas from existential and attachment-based thinking to support clearer choices and greater emotional understanding. Practical matters are discussed openly, including session format and the subscription-based payment model that can be cancelled at any time. An initial meeting is offered to see whether ongoing work will be useful and to agree on goals and practical arrangements.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online practice

Beatriz combines psychodynamic and attachment-based thinking with client-centred care in online work. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships and early experiences affect current feelings and behaviour, which can help when patterns repeat in relationships or self-image. Attachment-based work focuses on how people form emotional bonds and can support clearer ways of relating and managing strong emotions.

Client-centred therapy means the conversation is guided by the person's concerns and pace. Beatriz will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches best match their needs, goals and preferences rather than prescribing a single method. This gives space to try different ways of working and agree on practical aims together.

Online therapy offers real flexibility for those juggling work, family or travel. Video calls let people use body language and tone when that matters; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing to speaking or who want more frequent, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on the therapeutic process.
