About Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego
Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego is an experienced Clinical Psychologist and counsellor with 15 years of professional practice across higher education, community settings, healthcare, and private practice. Her work has focused on offering open-ended psychotherapy informed by psychodynamic thinking, and she draws on a range of clinical approaches including attachment-based therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential and Jungian perspectives, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic therapy, and solution-focused techniques.
She has supported adults with a wide variety of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem and body image issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating issues, career challenges, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and coaching needs. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, aging and caregiver stress, neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, BDSM and kink-affirming care, codependency and commitment concerns, communication and control problems, and adjustment after divorce or separation.
Beatriz works with an LGBTQIA+ affirmative stance and offers sessions in English and Portuguese, recognising the particular challenges faced by migrants adapting to a different culture and language. She holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has practiced in both face-to-face and online formats, with a consulting room in Oxford, United Kingdom.
She typically offers an initial session to assess the potential fit and benefit of ongoing psychotherapeutic work, though she is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients. She emphasizes the importance of a tailored therapeutic conversation and provides a compassionate space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings as part of the therapeutic process.
