About Eliska

Eliska Finlay works with adults on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, burnout, career issues and life transitions. She uses a reflective, psychodynamic approach and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Eliska encourages people to talk about current problems and the life events that led up to them. She focuses on patterns of thinking and feeling that repeat across relationships and situations. In sessions she helps clients notice these patterns and consider different ways of responding.

Her style is calm and reflective. She listens for connections between past experiences and present struggles so people can make sense of recurring difficulties. Sessions are straightforward conversation with careful attention to what matters to the client.

People contact her when they feel overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally drained. Common concerns include managing attention and impulsivity, coping with workplace stress, navigating separation or bereavement, and working on self-worth. She also offers support around parenting strains and family-related pressures.

Therapy with Eliska is presented as a process rather than an instant fix. She works at a steady pace and helps clients build clarity about their feelings and choices. To begin, clients use the service matching steps and schedule a first session to see if the approach fits.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit

Eliska works from a psychodynamic stance, which involves exploring past relationships and life events to understand patterns that affect current feelings and behaviours. This approach can be helpful for issues such as attachment difficulties, repeated relationship problems, and deep-seated self-esteem concerns.

She also uses reflective conversational methods that help people notice habits of thinking and reacting. These conversations are practical and focused on increasing self-understanding and making different choices in everyday life, which can aid with anxiety, workplace stress and coping during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eliska discusses goals and preferences with each person and chooses methods together, adjusting pace and focus as the relationship develops.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family commitments and can reduce travel time. They also allow for quicker check-ins when someone needs a shorter appointment or when quieter surroundings are required rather than being on camera.
