About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, career stress and times of change. Social anxiety and phobia are included among the concerns she supports people with.
Eliska draws on a psychodynamic background to look at how past experiences continue to shape current feelings and behaviours. Sessions focus on noticing patterns and making sense of emotional responses. Conversations are reflective and paced to suit each person.
People come for help when they feel stuck, exhausted or overwhelmed. Eliska helps them talk through what is happening and identify small, manageable changes. She aims to increase clarity about feelings and choices rather than promising quick fixes.
Practical life matters such as workplace stress, relationship strain, parenting pressures and grief are part of her work. She also addresses issues like control, abandonment, attachment and impulsivity when these affect day-to-day life. This includes attention to midlife questions and decisions about purpose.
For anyone starting out, Eliska asks simple questions about what brought them to therapy and what they hope to change. The first sessions are used to build understanding and agree ways of working. International clients may be accommodated and sessions are conducted in English.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Eliska brings a psychodynamic background to therapy, which means she helps people look at how early relationships and past experiences influence present-day feelings and reactions. This approach is useful for understanding patterns such as attachment, abandonment worries or repeated relationship difficulties.She also uses evidence-based techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and practising different ways of responding. These techniques can help with anxiety, mood difficulties and issues like impulsivity or workplace stress by offering practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eliska will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice guides how sessions are structured and what is practised outside appointments.
