About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP accreditation. She works with adults facing things like anxiety, depression, ADHD and low self-esteem. Her practice also covers stress, career challenges and life transitions.
Eliska takes a reflective, down-to-earth approach. She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Sessions look at patterns and past experiences that might be shaping current feelings.
How Eliska works
Many people come feeling overwhelmed, stuck or emotionally drained. Eliska helps them notice what keeps those patterns going and try different ways of responding. She explains things plainly and sets achievable steps between sessions.
She also supports people dealing with relationship worries, grief, parenting strain and eating difficulties. Additional areas she focuses on include abandonment, attachment issues, control struggles, guilt and shame, and problems at work. Eliska offers a calm, steady presence and encourages practical action alongside reflection.
She helps people make sense of difficult moments and build more reliable ways of coping. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and respectful.

Approaches and how online therapy helps
Eliska uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and improving everyday coping. One approach involves exploring past experiences and how they influence present behaviour, helping people make sense of recurring reactions and emotional habits. Another approach emphasises practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood, using simple steps people can try between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That way the process feels tailored rather than one-size-fits-all and adjustments can be made as progress is reviewed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between live appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
