Eliska Finlay, BACP

Eliska Finlay is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD and career-related pressures. Eliska aims to create a calm and approachable space where people can begin to talk about what feels hard right now.

Her background includes psychodynamic therapy, and she uses reflective listening to help clients notice repeated patterns. Sessions often look at how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviours. That can help people who feel stuck or emotionally drained make gradual changes.

Eliska supports those facing life transitions like job changes, separation, grief or midlife questions. She also helps people manage mood difficulties, social anxiety, workplace strain and issues around self-worth. Practical coping strategies are offered alongside deeper reflection to meet everyday needs.

People who prefer a thoughtful, exploratory style tend to fit well with her approach. She balances gentle challenge with warmth so that conversations feel structured but human. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage.

Therapy with Eliska is available in English and can be carried out using online formats. The initial steps are simple - a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a session. This helps match aims and practical arrangements before work begins.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Eliska draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice how past experiences influence current feelings and relationships. This approach focuses on patterns that recur in thoughts and behaviour and helps people understand why they react as they do. It can be useful for issues like attachment concerns, abandonment feelings and repeating relationship difficulties.

She also uses reflective listening combined with practical coping strategies to address stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges and workplace strain. That means sessions include space to talk through emotions and also simple tools to manage day-to-day symptoms and overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Eliska will work with each person to clarify goals and try ways of working that suit their needs and preferences. Together they will check what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different lifestyles. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings and work well for in-depth conversations. Phone sessions and live chat suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations. Text messages and messaging threads can support ongoing reflection between sessions and fit around busy schedules.
