Eliska Finlay

Eliska Finlay is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing issues such as ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout, career uncertainty and life transitions. Her work is rooted in psychodynamic thinking and focuses on understanding how past patterns shape present feelings.

Eliska keeps sessions reflective and straightforward. She listens for recurring patterns and helps people name how earlier experiences influence current reactions. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so clients can make different choices in everyday life.

People commonly come to her feeling overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally exhausted. She helps them talk through what is most pressing, whether that is work stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures or questions about life purpose. Sessions can also address grief, eating concerns, and struggles with shame or isolation.

Her style tends to be calm and focused on gradual change rather than quick fixes. She will help clients notice impulses, control issues and attachment-related patterns and consider practical steps to test new behaviours between meetings. The emphasis is on understanding and small, manageable experiments in how to respond differently.

Eliska accepts people from the UK and international clients who prefer to work in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. She uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online work

Eliska draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. That approach looks at how past relationships and early experiences can shape current feelings, and it can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their life purpose.

She also uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical steps between sessions. These techniques might include noticing impulses, testing new responses and working through workplace stressors or low self-esteem with small experiments. Such methods aim to make change manageable rather than sudden.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Eliska works collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches to use, based on their needs, goals and what feels workable in day-to-day life. That means reviewing what helps and adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not detailed in the original profile, so it is best to confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered and accredited professionals offer remote sessions that can help maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
