About Flavia

Flavia Melo is a licensed William Reich-based psychosomatic therapist who specialises in trauma, stress, anxiety and depression and brings 7 years of experience to her clinical work. She focuses on the dynamic relationship between body and mind, using embodied techniques to help clients notice how physical sensations and emotional memories interact and influence everyday patterns.

Her approach blends psychosomatic methods with holistic tools such as music and art to open different pathways for expression and healing. Flavia works with people across a range of concerns - including relationships, self-esteem, family difficulties, sleep and eating issues, and intimacy-related matters - helping them build practical skills and deeper self-awareness.

In an initial session she explores a client’s history, emotional experiences and therapy goals, then co-designs a plan for moving forward. Throughout ongoing work she applies therapeutic techniques aimed at increasing awareness, reshaping habitual responses and supporting lasting change so clients can create a more fulfilling life.

Flavia offers therapy in English and Portuguese and holds BACP membership, the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Online Somatic, Mindfulness and Cognitive Care

Flavia uses somatic therapy to help clients notice and work with the body’s signals - breathing, posture and bodily sensations - as gateways to processing emotional memories and reducing the impact of trauma and chronic stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to explore the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy supports present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, helping people develop skills for emotion regulation and improved self-compassion.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Flavia collaborates with each client to determine which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care across locations. These remote options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow work with international clients, and make it possible to engage in therapy from familiar surroundings while working with registered professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
