About Flavia
Flavia Melo uses body-aware therapy to help people manage anxiety, stress and depression. She blends talk and bodily techniques so feelings can be noticed and changed. Flavia works in English and Portuguese and brings seven years of hands-on experience in the United Kingdom.
Her practice focuses on everyday pressures and deeper struggles. She helps people puzzled by low self-esteem, recurring panic or sleep and eating problems. Relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and the long shadow of trauma and abuse are also areas she addresses.
Background and approach
She supports people navigating life changes, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and seasonal mood shifts. Sessions combine practical exercises with creative tools such as music and art when helpful. Flavia uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, and somatic techniques to notice how the body reacts.
Mindfulness practices help people ground themselves and reduce overwhelm, while Internal Family Systems ideas can clarify internal conflicts. Initial meetings focus on what the client wants to change and how they tend to cope. Flavia then agrees a straightforward plan that fits day-to-day life and goals.
Sessions are presented in clear language and paced to suit each person. People may find the mix of talking, body work and simple activities useful when emotional patterns feel stuck. Flavia aims to increase self-awareness, improve coping skills and help clients make sustainable changes to how they feel and function.

Approaches Flavia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. That may mean combining talking, body-based exercises or short mindfulness practices over time to see what helps most.
Online sessions make this flexible. Video calls allow visual connection for guided body awareness and exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, want to reflect between messages, or need support without being on camera. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and different schedules.
