About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Her practice often supports people dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, burnout and career uncertainty.
Her way of working is reflective and down-to-earth. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly. Sessions focus on noticing current patterns and tracing how past experiences might be shaping present feelings.
Background and approach
Eliska aims to help people build clarity and a stronger sense of self over time. She does not promise quick fixes, but she works with clients to find practical changes they can try between sessions. Conversations may include looking at coping strategies, ways to manage stress, and approaches to daily routines.
Her background includes training in psychodynamic approaches, which look at how earlier relationships and experiences influence current behaviour. She combines that perspective with evidence-based techniques to address mood, anxiety and life transitions. This mix helps clients understand both feeling and action.
People who come to Eliska often want thoughtful, steady support rather than rapid symptom reduction. She invites curious, motivated adults who want to understand themselves better and make gradual, sustainable changes. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it easier to begin.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability. Eliska works with individual adults and offers online session formats suited to different needs.

How different approaches work online
Eliska draws on psychodynamic ideas along with evidence-based techniques to help with mood and anxiety. Psychodynamic work looks at how past relationships and patterns influence current feelings, which can help when someone wants to understand recurring struggles. Practical, evidence-based strategies focus on skills for managing stress, anxiety and attention difficulties, such as small routine changes and coping exercises.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will listen to the client’s history, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan over time, moving between understanding and practical steps as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, step-by-step homework, or people who prefer to write. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting and busy schedules.
