About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and who want clearer thinking and steadier mood.
Her background includes psychodynamic work, and she uses that to look at how past experiences shape present feelings. Sessions are calm and reflective, and she aims to build a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on understanding patterns rather than offering quick fixes. Eliska helps people address a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, ADHD-related challenges, workplace issues, relationship worries, parenting strain, grief and eating concerns. She also supports those facing life transitions, career questions and mood difficulties such as depression.
In practice she listens for recurring themes and links between past and present. Together with each person she identifies small, manageable steps to test different ways of coping. Progress is treated as gradual and practical, with regular review of what is helping and what needs to change.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the UK and internationally. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work or family commitments.

Online support
She also uses evidence-based techniques to help with practical day-to-day coping. These involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood and manage stress more effectively. Such techniques can be helpful for depression, workplace stress and social anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions are reviewed regularly so the plan can change if something is not working.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide a written option for people who prefer not to use voice or video, or who need to fit therapy into a busy day.
