About Florbela

Florbela Santos is a counsellor who uses person-centred work to put the client at the heart of each session. She draws on 13 years of experience to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or family concerns. She aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space where people can begin to talk honestly about their worries.

Her approach adapts to each person. Sessions may include exploration of past experiences, attention to bodily sensations, and focused mindfulness skills to manage strong feelings.

Background and approach

She uses client-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ideas to better understand recurring patterns that affect mood and relationships. People come for help with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and intimacy-related challenges. Florbela also supports those dealing with fertility worries, money stress, body image, and codependency.

She attends to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and dissociation when these are part of someone’s story. Therapy can be practical and reflective. Florbela works with coping strategies, stress reduction techniques, and mindful exercises.

She also helps people reflect on family of origin material and longstanding relational patterns so they can choose different ways of relating. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged with international clients. Florbela is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she practises from the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Florbela draws on client-centred work to make sessions feel led by the person in front of her. This means conversations focus on what matters most to the client, with the counsellor reflecting and helping clarify feelings and choices. That approach is useful for people who want to be heard and to build a clearer sense of their own goals.

She also uses mindfulness-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and stress. Mindfulness practices are taught simply and can be used between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve sleep. Somatic elements attend to bodily signals and can help when feelings are held in the body rather than just in thoughts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different ways of working and together decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and she adjusts methods as the relationship develops.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from a distance. Phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed or if internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written reflection, want to check in between calls, or need a quieter option. Registered and accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and fit it around daily life.
