Florbela Santos, BACP

Florbela Santos is a UK-licensed therapist with 13 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflicts (not couples therapy), and trauma and abuse. She works with a broad range of difficulties including depression, grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and family of origin issues, and coping with life changes. Florbela approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client's unique history and priorities.

Trained and practising with the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she combines established therapeutic methods to match the needs presented in sessions. Florbela places emphasis on listening first, building a collaborative working relationship, and helping clients find practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. She recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and meets that step with encouragement and clear guidance on what to expect.

Clients who choose Florbela can expect a tailored process that honours their pace and preferences, with an emphasis on creating realistic, achievable goals and developing tools for long-term resilience.
