About Eliska
BACP. Three years of professional experience. Eliska Finlay works as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and focuses on adults coping with anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, burnout and career-related stress. She also helps people facing grief, relationship strain, eating concerns, parenting pressures and life changes.
Eliska trained with a background in psychodynamic therapy and uses reflective work to look at how past experiences affect present feelings. Sessions involve talking through patterns, noticing recurring reactions and making small changes that can ease daily strain. She aims for clear, straightforward conversation rather than jargon.
People often come when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted. Eliska offers time to slow down and name what is happening, and then to test practical ways of responding differently. She describes therapy as gradual work that can bring more clarity and steadier moods over time.
Her focus includes attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. She also supports people dealing with midlife questions, life purpose, isolation and workplace difficulties.
Sessions are delivered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and are paid using a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
Eliska writes plainly about the work and keeps the conversation practical. She encourages people who are ready to make a change to take the first step and arrange an initial meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Eliska’s background is in psychodynamic therapy, which looks at how past relationships and early experiences can shape current feelings and reactions. This approach helps when someone wants to understand recurring patterns, attachment concerns or deeper sources of anxiety.She also uses reflective conversational work to identify unhelpful habits and test small changes in thinking and behaviour. That practical element can help with mood difficulties, workplace stress, impulsivity and problems with self-esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eliska will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which ways of working to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find online counselling helpful because it can fit more easily into a working day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online conversations also make it possible to work with a therapist who is based elsewhere, including internationally, while focusing on practical steps and clearer understanding.
