About Elisa

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 40 years of experience. She offers individual therapy and life and career mentoring for people feeling stuck after a change in work, relationships or health. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and questions about life purpose.

She blends several approaches in ordinary language so sessions feel direct and practical. Elisa uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also draws on client-centred work to keep the pace set by the person in front of her and solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable steps.

Elisa has worked in counselling and human resources and has concentrated on biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy since 2008. That background means she often links current worries to life story and roles, and may introduce art-based exercises when they help someone express things that are hard to put into words.

She has practised meditation for many years and can share basic mindfulness tools when those are useful for regulating mood or reducing anxiety. Sessions can include talking, short experiential tasks, or reflective exercises to support clearer decision making about work, relationships and next steps.

Elisa speaks English, Portuguese and Italian and understands the particular pressures that can come from living between cultures. She works from the United Kingdom and asks prospective clients to use the site matching steps to arrange an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Elisa often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on client-centred practice to let the person set the pace. Attachment-based thinking helps when someone wants to understand recurring reactions in close relationships. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns so the sessions stay practical and relevant.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Elisa will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide which combination of ideas feels best. That collaborative planning can include trying different methods and noting what helps most for decisions, mood or day-to-day coping.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online methods. Many people find online work useful for shorter check-ins, quieter conversations without a commute, or to combine talking with simple at-home exercises suggested by the therapist.
