About Elisa
Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a counsellor with four decades of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, loss and major life changes, and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. She uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs.
Sessions are tailored rather than following a fixed formula. Elisa combines talking, reflection and creative methods when useful to help people find clearer ways forward. Elisa has worked in counselling and human resources for over 40 years.
How Elisa works
Since 2008 she has focused on biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy, and she often brings those perspectives into her work. Her multicultural background informs how she listens to different life stories. Mindfulness and meditation are part of her practice when clients want them.
These tools are offered to help people notice patterns, manage anxiety and feel more grounded day to day. She also uses psychodynamic and attachment ideas to look at long-standing relationship patterns. Sessions can include practical steps and short-term goals when that suits someone, alongside deeper exploration over time.
Elisa speaks English, Italian and Portuguese. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom.

Online support options
Online approaches that blend reflection and practical steps
Elisa draws on client-centred work to create a listening space where people can lead the conversation. This approach focuses on the person in front of her and helps with issues like low self-esteem, life direction and relationship concerns.She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful habits of mind and learn simple ways to calm anxiety. Mindfulness can be useful for managing stress, mood swings and intrusive thoughts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elisa discusses options with each person and adapts the mix of methods based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps people try short-term strategies and longer-term exploration as required.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a fuller conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter sound-only check-in fits a schedule. Live chat and text messaging allow short reflections and ongoing contact between longer sessions, offering flexibility for busy lives.
