About Elisa
Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a BACP counsellor with 40 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, anger and changes in life. Elisa also offers life and career mentoring and speaks English, Italian and Portuguese.
Elisa combines practical conversation with creative methods from transpersonal art therapy and biographical counselling. She draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns that keep causing the same problems. Sessions may include guided reflection, talking through current conflicts, and simple mindful practices learned in the room.
Her background includes long experience in counselling and human resources, plus a focus since 2008 on biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy. Elisa’s multicultural upbringing informs her approach and gives her perspective on the stresses people face when living abroad or between cultures.
Work with her often begins by looking at what repeatedly triggers anger, resentment or overwhelm. She helps people recognise those triggers and then practises alternatives - different responses, clearer communication, or brief mindfulness exercises. Practical coaching for career and life choices is available alongside deeper therapeutic conversation.
Elisa uses a blend of Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Mindfulness and Psychodynamic ideas. She may introduce art-based exercises and meditation tools during sessions when they suit the client’s aims. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Elisa uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people see how past relationships shape current reactions. This can clarify why anger or mistrust shows up with certain people. Client-Centred work focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, allowing them to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports.Mindfulness techniques are introduced as simple practices to notice impulses and physical signs of tension. These exercises can reduce reactivity and help someone pause before responding. The therapist discusses which methods match the client’s goals so the work feels practical and relevant.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Elisa will work collaboratively to choose approaches that fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean combining brief solution-focused steps with deeper psychodynamic or attachment exploration over time.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or family commitments.
