About Flavia
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of clinical experience, Flavia Melo works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She describes her practice as focusing on the connection between body and mind, and uses talk and body-focused techniques to help clients notice how emotions live in the body.
Flavia blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with somatic methods to look at thoughts, feelings and bodily responses together. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy and Internal Family Systems to help people notice their internal parts and habitual reactions. Sessions include practical exercises aimed at shifting unhelpful patterns in both thinking and bodily sensation.
Her work often addresses issues that affect day-to-day functioning, such as sleep problems, eating concerns, panic attacks and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with life changes, family problems, pregnancy and postpartum challenges, and intimacy-related struggles. These areas are treated through focused conversation and embodied techniques.
Flavia offers sessions in English and Portuguese and is open to working with international clients. Her approach begins with an initial assessment of emotional experience and therapy goals. From there she uses a mix of techniques - breathing, movement awareness, mindful reflection and cognitive reframing - to build awareness and small practical changes.
People who choose her can expect a direct, body-aware style that links sensations to thoughts and behaviours. She uses creative elements when helpful, such as music and art, to support expression and change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Flavia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Somatic Therapy in her practice. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and involves practical exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily sensations and breathing patterns and helps people notice and shift how stress shows up in the body.Choosing an approach is part of the work. She treats this as a collaborative process and will help the client decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences as the sessions unfold.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if someone prefers less visual contact. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, breathing work and mindful attention for remote sessions to maintain practical momentum between meetings.
