About Flavia
Flavia Melo uses body-aware counselling to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She draws on practical, embodied ways to notice how emotions show up in the body. Flavia speaks English and Portuguese and works from the United Kingdom.
Her practice focuses on how physical sensations and emotional memories connect. She combines talking with body-centred techniques and creative tools like music and art. Sessions begin by clarifying what matters to the client and agreeing on clear goals.
Background and approach
Flavia has seven years of experience supporting people with relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles and life transitions. She also works with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting stresses. Additional focuses include body image, codependency, panic attacks and women’s health matters including pregnancy and postpartum concerns.
Her approach brings together Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and somatic methods alongside Internal Family Systems ideas. That mix is used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies and build more reliable ways of relating to themselves. Sessions aim to increase awareness of bodily responses, reduce distressing symptoms and create manageable steps for change.
Flavia invites clients to experiment with simple exercises during and between sessions. This helps translate insight into everyday routines and supports steady progress.
