About Elisa
BACP. 40 years' experience. Elisa Helena Levy Fleury works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports people coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting strain, anger, career questions, depression and coaching needs.
Elisa uses a mix of approaches in counselling, including attachment-based, client-centred, mindfulness, psychodynamic and solution-focused methods. She also practices transpersonal art therapy and biographical counselling, and brings meditation techniques into sessions when helpful. Sessions combine talking and creative work, with an emphasis on practical ways to manage feelings and relationships.
Elisa draws on a multicultural background and speaks English, Portuguese and Italian. She has experience working in counselling and human resources and has focused on therapeutic practice and research in biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy since 2008. Her experience with the expat community informs her understanding of immigration and adjustment issues.
In a typical session she will listen to what is most pressing, use conversational and reflective methods, and introduce mindfulness or creative exercises as suits the person. She explains tools plainly and practices them together with clients when requested. Her work includes life and career mentoring alongside individual counselling.
People can expect straightforward discussion of concerns, attention to personal history and relational patterns, and practical coping ideas to try between sessions.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Elisa uses attachment-based therapy to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when communication problems, attachment issues or feelings of abandonment affect how someone relates to others. She also draws on client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely and supports people to find their own solutions to problems such as low self-esteem, depression or career uncertainty. Mindfulness methods are offered as practical exercises to reduce anxiety and increase emotional regulation. These can include short breathing or awareness practices that people can carry into daily life. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will discuss different methods and decide together with each person which mix suits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the format and timing that will best fit everyday life before arranging a first meeting.Areas of expertise
