Eliska Finlay

Eliska Finlay is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She began her career using a psychodynamic background and now works with adults facing anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, burnout and career uncertainty. She offers a calm, respectful space for people to begin talking about what feels hard right now.

Her style is reflective and down-to-earth. She listens for the patterns that repeat in a person's life and helps them notice how past experiences influence current feelings and choices. Sessions focus on understanding those patterns and trying small, practical shifts rather than quick fixes.

People commonly come with feelings of being overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally drained. Eliska helps them make sense of those states and find clearer ways to cope. She also supports people navigating grief, relationship strain, workplace stress and major life changes.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. Conversations aim to build a stronger sense of self and clearer priorities over time. The work is steady and gradual, with space for reflection and practical steps.

If someone is unsure how therapy might help, Eliska encourages a short exploration to see if her way of working feels right. She asks people to choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Eliska brings psychodynamic ideas into conversations, which means she listens for recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings. This approach helps when someone wants to understand why they react a certain way and to make different choices over time.

She also uses evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce immediate distress and increase coping. That can involve noticing thinking and behaviour patterns, practising small changes between sessions, and building clearer emotional awareness to manage anxiety, low mood or workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options and adapt the work based on a person's goals, needs and preferences. Clients are invited to test what helps and feed back so the plan can shift if needed.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or caregiving demands, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling. Some formats also suit shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations if that better fits a person's routine.
