About Flavia

Flavia Melo works with the connection between body and mind. She uses grounded, body-aware approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. Flavia is comfortable guiding conversations about trauma, relationships and self-esteem in simple, clear language.

She has seven years of clinical experience and lists registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Flavia blends practical techniques with creative tools like music and art to support emotional change.

Background and approach

Sessions begin by looking at what matters most to the person and what they hope to change. Flavia uses gentle somatic practices to notice how feelings show up in the body. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness to build steadiness.

Together these approaches help people feel more in control and less overwhelmed. When working on relationship or intimacy concerns she helps clients name patterns and try new ways of communicating. For parenting, career or life-change worries she focuses on small steps that fit into everyday life.

Flavia also supports people facing issues such as body image, eating and sleep difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and are suitable for people who prefer online formats. She aims for an open, respectful atmosphere where the client’s goals lead the pace and focus of the work.

How these approaches work online

Flavia commonly combines somatic work and cognitive behavioural ideas in online sessions. Somatic therapy helps people notice bodily signals and learn ways to ease tension or overwhelm, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety and sleep problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them, helpful for panic, depression and low self-esteem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what each approach feels like in practice. Together they will try things out and adjust the focus as needed so the work stays useful and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier on bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when written reflection suits someone better. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic methods as in-person work.
