About Florbela
Florbela Santos is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, thoughtful approach to help people face tough moments. She combines warm, respectful listening with practical conversation to tackle issues like stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. Her tone is calm and direct, and she aims to make the first step easier for anyone thinking about therapy.
With 13 years of professional experience, she has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and grief. She also supports people coping with family conflict, intimacy-related issues, eating or sleeping difficulties, anger and low self-esteem. Money and financial issues are noted among her focus areas and she will address how financial stress affects emotional life.
Her practice adapts to each person. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs and goals rather than a fixed template. That means talking through what matters most and agreeing simple steps to try between meetings.
Florbela draws on a mix of therapeutic styles depending on the situation. She may use client-centred techniques to build trust, psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns, mindfulness to manage anxiety, or somatic work to attend to bodily responses. The choice is guided by what the person wants to work on.
She works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English. Prospective clients are invited to begin the process by using the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Florbela often uses client-centred work, which means sessions focus on your experience and what you want to change. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps you clarify goals so you can make practical moves between meetings.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help with anxiety and stress. These involve simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your concerns, goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods might suit you best. That decision is collaborative and can shift as therapy progresses.
The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking as the profile does not specify formats. Online options can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for people who live outside the therapist's immediate area to access her support.
