About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, career strain, grief, or big life changes. Eliska aims to make the first step easier by offering calm, practical support.
Eliska draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice recurring patterns and how past experiences affect current feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on understanding what keeps problems going, so people can begin to make different choices. Conversations are reflective and paced to suit each person’s needs. Her style is warm and non-judgemental.
She encourages honest talk about difficult feelings and everyday struggles. People who feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure about their next steps often seek her help. Work in sessions can include talking through relationship or parenting strains, sorting workplace stress, and exploring impulses or shame that get in the way of daily life.
Practical coping strategies are offered alongside deeper reflection to make change more manageable. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging, which can fit around work and family routines. The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.
Eliska aims to be a steady companion while people build clarity, resilience, and a clearer sense of purpose.

Online support
Alongside that reflective work, she blends practical coping strategies to manage symptoms in the moment. These can include ways to reduce anxiety, handle workplace stress, or cope with impulsivity so daily life becomes more manageable while deeper changes are explored.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Eliska will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. If certain techniques suit a person better, she will adapt sessions so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful. Phone sessions suit quieter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, reflection between sessions, or when someone prefers written interaction. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping continuity of support.
