Compassionate healing, a safe space for you to reconnect with who you really are.
Overcoming trauma is possible – with love, compassion and a safe space.


A healing journey guided by compassion
I believe that each person has within them a core of integrity, strength and wisdom.
With the support of the IFS (Internal Family Systems) approach, I help you access this inner space, understand your wounded parts and begin a profound process of transformation.
There are no judgments here. With compassion, safety and one step at a time towards emotional freedom.

Individual sessions with a integrative approach adapted to your journey.
I work with people from the age of 16 and over, offering compassionate support for:
Abuse and Trauma
A safe space to reframe experiences of abuse and relational trauma.
Anxiety and Depression
Relief is possible. I work with panic attacks, phobias, persistent sadness and thoughts that paralyze you.
Eating Disorders and Addictions
When the body speaks what the soul feels. Support in the relationship with food and compulsive patterns.
Abusive Relationships
Break cycles and rebuild bonds. Special attention for those who have lived or are living in relationships marked by pain, control and emotional abuse.
PTSD and Traumatic Memories
Let go of the past that still hurts. Support for those living with triggers, flashbacks and the impacts of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Hey, I'm Kelly!
Hello, I’m Kelly Filardi, and it’s a pleasure to introduce myself to you.
I’m a trauma counsellor and the founder of Viva B.E.M. I’m a psychologist, trained in Brazil, with a Master’s degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy in Australia, and I specialize in trauma.
With over 10 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to support people through a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges. This has allowed me to develop an integrative approach — one that is flexible and tailored to each person’s unique needs.
The foundation of my work is IFS — Internal Family Systems, an approach that understands we all have different “parts” within us: some that try to protect us, some that carry deep pain, and others that may act critically or impulsively, but still trying to protect us.
Maybe you're here because....

You live with anxiety, deep sadness or crises that seem to come out of nowhere.

You struggle in silence with your self-esteem or live in relationships that hurt you.

Deep down, you’re looking for a place where you can simply be – without fear, without judgment.
If any of these sentences resonate with you, know this: It’s already a sign of your courage.
Here at Viva B.E.M, you’ll find a welcoming space to take the next step – with respect for your time, your history and your essence.
What people are sayng

“I highly recommend Kelly. Throughout the sessions I had with her I realized how empathetic and attentive to detail she is, my journey of personal and professional growth took a significant leap forward thanks to her invaluable help. I highly recommend her.”
DOUGLAS
“It is very hard for me to write a testimonial about Kelly… Before her, I did sessions with other therapists, and sometimes I just felt they were not giving me the right advice. Since last year, I was still seeing her at least once every two months. In the last session I decided to take a longer break, because she said I really didn’t need therapy anymore. I struggled with that, because I just love talking to her. She is no longer just my therapist, but a dear friend to whom I care a lot, and always want to keep in touch with. I would definitely recommend her services, with no restrictions, to anyone willing to improve as a person, and learn from their mistakes and move on to a happier life.”
