About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience and a background in psychodynamic therapy. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, career strain or periods of big change. Her manner is calm and approachable, aimed at helping people take the first steps toward feeling better.
She offers a reflective style of counselling that encourages honest talking and gentle curiosity about what has shaped someone’s feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on noticing recurring patterns and linking current struggles to past experiences. That helps people see why they react the way they do and opens up room for different choices. People come to her when they feel stuck, emotionally drained or unsure how to move forward.
She listens without judgement and helps turn confusing emotions into clearer steps for change. Progress is gradual, with practical insights and steady support rather than quick fixes. Eliska also works with concerns around grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, eating difficulties and workplace pressure.
She pays attention to attachment or abandonment issues, feelings of guilt or shame, and the impact of isolation or impulsivity on daily life. If someone is ready to explore what has been getting in the way of feeling more capable, she helps plan manageable next steps. Booking begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions according to mutual availability.

How Eliska works online
Support that emphasises reflection and curiosity pairs well with practical problem-solving. That combination can help with career stress, burnout and navigating life transitions by linking understanding to small, workable changes in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt techniques together as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process where the method is chosen to match each person's needs rather than being fixed from the start.
The biography does not list which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule around work or family commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins and more frequent support easier to arrange when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session length and frequency to practical constraints and therapeutic goals.
