Flavia Melo, BACP
About me
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.

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.

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.
