About Florbela
Florbela Santos is a counsellor who works from a client-centred perspective. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Her approach is warm and respectful and she aims to tailor conversations to each person’s situation.
With 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom, she has supported people facing trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and family-related difficulties. She also offers help for issues such as sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Florbela pays attention to attachment and abandonment worries when they arise.
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. Alongside client-centred work she uses existential ideas to look at meaning and choices, psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns, and mindfulness and somatic perspectives to connect thoughts with bodily experience. These approaches guide how she listens and responds in sessions.
Sessions are shaped around what an individual needs. Florbela prioritises sensitivity and compassion and adjusts the pace according to each person. She invites people to talk about practical concerns like finances, parenting strain, fertility issues, and the impact of trauma while also attending to emotional recovery.
If English is the preferred language she can work with you, and she is available to work with international clients. To begin, clients use the site process to match and schedule a session with her.
Approaches that translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings.Mindfulness Therapy supports people to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without rushing to change them. It can help with anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties by teaching simple attention and breathing practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you will try ways of working that match your needs and adjust them over time.
