About Elisa
Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a counsellor with more than 40 years of experience. She is a BACP counsellor who offers one-to-one therapy and life and career mentoring. Elisa blends talking therapy with creative methods and meditation in sessions when helpful.
Elisa works from a multicultural perspective and speaks English and Portuguese. She has spent much of her career supporting people who face the stress of moving countries and adapting to new cultures. Her approach aims to increase self-awareness and a clearer sense of direction.
Sessions are tailored to each person. Elisa uses elements from attachment-based work, psychodynamic ideas, client-centred practice, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on transpersonal art therapy and biographical counselling in longer term work.
Clients commonly bring worries about anxiety, depression, relationships and life changes. Elisa also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and issues around codependency and self-esteem. She says small, steady shifts in awareness often lead to felt improvement.
Practical tools such as breathing practices and simple meditation may be taught and practised in session. She mixes reflective conversation with creative exercises when those fit the person. People who prefer a thoughtful, steady pace often find this style helpful.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Elisa often draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when someone struggles with trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and following the person’s pace, helping people feel heard and understood.She also uses mindfulness practice to help calm the nervous system and bring attention to the present moment. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, mood swings and stress management by teaching simple breathing and awareness exercises that are practised in sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Elisa will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Elenas practice aims to help clients integrate therapy into everyday life while working together to find practical ways forward.
