About Eliska

Eliska Finlay is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on adults who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, career strain, burnout and life transitions. She also works with issues such as grief, parenting stress and relationship difficulties.

Eliska describes her style as reflective and grounded. She helps people talk through patterns and past experiences that influence how they feel now. Sessions aim to make those patterns clearer so people can begin to change them in everyday life.

People come to her when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted. She offers practical conversation and exploration rather than quick fixes. The work is paced to each person and oriented around what feels manageable.

Her background includes experience with mood disorders, social anxiety, workplace issues and challenges around control, impulsivity and isolation. She pays attention to how attachment and abandonment experiences show up in current relationships and choices.

Sessions also address life purpose, midlife shifts, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, eating concerns and grief. Eliska aims to help people rebuild self-esteem and coping skills so they can handle everyday pressures with more clarity.

To begin, people use the site matching process and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Eliska’s background mentions psychodynamic work, which focuses on exploring past experiences and relationship patterns to understand current feelings and behaviours. This can help when anxiety, attachment issues or repeated relationship problems are a concern.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to build practical coping skills and clearer self-understanding. These approaches often involve identifying unhelpful patterns, testing new ways of responding, and practising skills between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. That means discussing what feels most helpful and adjusting over time as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client agree what works best for their time and pace.
