Flavia is a great therapist. She is calm, focused, attentive and friendly. You feel safe speaking to her. I did not have enough sessions to really be able to say much about her style of therapy. But after our sessions I always felt more uplifted and hopeful. She could make my thoughts clearer and make me realise my thought patterns were not helping me.
More about Flavia
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am Flavia Melo, a licensed William Reich-based psychosomatic therapist specialised in trauma, stress, anxiety and depression, with 7 years of experience. In my work with clients, I explore the relationship between body and mind through a series of therapeutical techniques and tools to promote wellbeing. The body stores all our emotional memories and patterns. If we don’t work on how we feel in our bodies and on those memories, we can’t promote significant and long-lasting change. I also integrate holistic approaches and tools into my practice, such as music and art. In our first session, we will explore your emotional experiences and your therapeutical goals, and how we are going to work together moving forwards. During the process with me, we will use those therapeutical techniques and tools to gain more awareness and understanding, in order to create a more fulfilling life for you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She’s so patient and conveys calm. That’s so great. Thank you!
She is a great Tearapist
Flavia was deeply empathetic in understanding my issues and analyzing the root cause. This helped to identify the triggering point and suggested effective behavioral changes and a few exercises to overcome. I feel that I can be better by following her guidelines. Thanks to Flavia and her efforts.
Flavia had a really pleasent way of approaching therapy and has lots of experience in different fields, which is very usefull in therapy. She helped me a lot!
After only 2 sessions with Flavia I feel like I have made huge progress. She asks the right questions and even if sometimes it's not easy to answer, it feels extremely liberating and easier to rationalize how you feel. 10/10 recommended!
