Elisa Helena Levy Fleury, BACP

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to help people feel understood and find practical ways forward. She combines reflective listening with gentle guidance so people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship pain and life transitions. Elisa uses simple exercises and talking in sessions to build clarity and calm.

She has more than 40 years of experience in counselling and human resources, and holds BACP registration, which is the listed credential. Elisa also practises transpersonal art therapy and biographical counselling, and has been concentrating on those areas since 2008. This background shapes how she links life story, creativity and present difficulties.

Elisa offers one-to-one counselling and life and career mentoring. Sessions are tailored to each person and may include mindfulness practices she has used for many years. These practices are offered as optional tools to increase awareness and help manage mood and anxiety.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns such as stress, addictions, trauma and grief, eating and self-esteem issues, coping with change, and work or career worries. Additional areas of focus include attachment and family of origin issues, communication problems, codependency and feelings of emptiness.

She is fluent in English, Italian and Portuguese and practises in the United Kingdom. Elisa does not accept international clients at this time. People can expect a calm, steady approach that links personal history and present choices to practical steps forward.

Approaches that translate to online care

Elisa often uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working online. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change unhelpful responses. Client-centred work focuses on listening deeply and following the person’s pace so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

These approaches are offered collaboratively. Elisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. Finding the right mix of talking, mindfulness or creative tasks is part of the early sessions and is adjusted as needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see expressions and interact more like an in-person meeting. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit brief reflections, written exercises or ongoing support between longer conversations, offering flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles.
