Flavia Furtado Calixto

I'm Flavia, a Psychologist (Brazil, 2002) and UK-registered Psychotherapist with 24 years of experience. I work with adults, young people, and children, in English and Portuguese.

I'm a member of the BACP and work as an Integrative Therapist, which means I draw on different approaches to fit who you are, rather than fitting you into a single method. My clients describe me as warm, insightful, and understanding.

What I care about most is helping people build happier, more meaningful lives, and offering a safe space where you can find your own strength and resilience. My work centres on the therapeutic relationship between us, and I also draw on EMDR, Brainspotting, Bioenergetic Analysis, and Trauma-Informed Practice when they're useful to you.

Your first session

Taking the first step can feel daunting, and asking for support can leave you feeling vulnerable. But that step is often the beginning of something new. In our first session, we'll talk through what's bringing you here and how we might work on it together. We'll also decide together whether short- or long-term therapy feels right, and review it as we go.

What I can help with

Anxiety and panic, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationships and trust, self-esteem and motivation, life and career changes, cultural and existential questions, trauma and post-traumatic stress, abuse and neglect, and child- and work-related issues.

I also work with high performance, supporting people who want to perform at their best while protecting their wellbeing.

How I work

EMDR, Integrative, Brainspotting, and Bioenergetic Analysis, with adults, young people, and children.

Whether you prefer to meet in person in Putney/Fulham or online, I offer both short- and long-term psychotherapy to suit your needs.

Sessions are available in English or Portuguese.
