About Eliska

Eliska Finlay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, career pressures, or major life transitions.

Eliska aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, approachable setting to start talking through what matters most to you. Her style is reflective and down-to-earth.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on noticing patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She gently helps people connect present struggles with earlier experiences so they can make different choices now. Eliska offers practical conversations as well as deeper reflection.

That might mean developing coping strategies for stress or looking at relationship and workplace patterns that are causing strain. She keeps explanations simple and works at a pace that suits each person. People often come to her when they feel stuck, exhausted or unsure about next steps in life or work.

Eliska takes time to hear each person’s story and to build a working plan together. She aims to support clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses over time. Sessions can be delivered online by video, phone, chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step helps connect someone to her practice.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Eliska lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Eliska draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding personal patterns and practical coping. One approach explores how early relationships and past events influence present feelings and reactions, helping people make sense of persistent patterns and emotional triggers. Another practical approach works on building everyday skills for managing stress, anxiety and impulsivity, such as pacing tasks, grounding techniques and clearer routines.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Eliska will discuss different approaches with each person and decide together what feels most useful. She adjusts pace and focus as goals and life circumstances change so the work stays relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel while keeping continuity of care.
