About Beatriz
Beatriz Zanichelli Sonego offers a thoughtful, person-centred approach rooted in existential thinking. She introduces ideas that help people make sense of difficult choices, uncertainty and change. Beatriz works in English and Portuguese and brings 15 years of experience to sessions.
Beatriz meets adults individually and provides open-ended psychotherapy. Sessions may look at mood, relationships, loss or stresses that feel overwhelming. She uses conversational, practical ways to help people notice patterns and try small changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in higher education, community settings, healthcare and independent practice. That variety means she is used to different kinds of life stories and practical pressures. Beatriz listens for what matters most to each person before shaping the work.
Existential ideas are used alongside attachment-focused thinking and client-centred care. Cognitive and behavioural techniques and elements from dialectical approaches are offered when helpful. The emphasis is on collaboration and tailoring the work to the person's needs.
People often come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship worries. She also supports those facing life transitions, career questions, burnout or complexities around identity and intimacy. Sessions can include reflection, practical coping strategies and planning for next steps.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session. Beatriz discusses goals and whether ongoing therapy seems helpful before moving forward.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice and the realities of change. It helps people talk through big life questions, feelings of uncertainty, grief and the stress that comes from life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions, and it is useful for people struggling with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the shared work. Beatriz will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those aims. That might mean using open conversation, practical CBT-style strategies for mood and anxiety, or skills from dialectical approaches when emotion regulation is needed.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when screen time is comfortable. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, updates or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments, while still focusing on the issues named in sessions.
