About Elisa
Counsellor and BACP member Elisa Helena Levy Fleury has practised for 40 years and works from the United Kingdom. She lists stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, self-esteem, and coping with life changes among her main concerns. She also notes experience with addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, eating issues, parenting, anger, career questions, depression and coaching.
Elisa combines several therapeutic approaches in her work. She uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns. She draws on client-centred practice to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. She also brings in mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives, and uses solution-focused techniques when practical short-term change is needed.
Her background includes long experience in counselling and human resources, and research and practice in biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy since 2008. Elisa reports many years of meditation practice and offers related tools during sessions when helpful. She records working with people from multicultural and expat backgrounds and is fluent in English, Portuguese and Italian.
Sessions aim to explore what is making life harder and what resources a person already has. Conversations may include practical steps for coping, reflective work about patterns, and art-based exercises if they suit the client. The therapist also offers life and career mentoring alongside therapeutic work.
Those considering contact are advised to follow the site's process to view online counselling options and book an initial meeting. Elisa does not accept international clients outside the United Kingdom.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current feelings. Online sessions can use conversation and reflective prompts to map those patterns and identify different ways of relating. Client-centred practice means the counsellor follows the client's pace and concerns, offering listening, clarification and support to help someone find their own answers. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment steadiness. Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Elisa will discuss what feels most relevant and will adjust methods to the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a set prescription. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and join from a quieter setting when that suits. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by voice when they cannot be on camera, while others choose full video sessions for face-to-face conversation. Registered or accredited professionals will explain practical arrangements at first contact.Areas of expertise
