Elisa Helena Levy Fleury

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a counsellor with four decades of experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about stress, relationships and life changes. She also provides life and career mentoring tailored to each person's needs.

Her work draws on several approaches so sessions are adapted to what feels most useful. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how they affect current difficulties. Client-centred and solution-focused techniques help people identify strengths and set practical steps forward.

Elisa has a multicultural background and speaks English, Italian and Portuguese. That experience informs her understanding of issues linked to immigration, cultural adjustment and feeling isolated. She has worked in counselling and human resources for many years and has been focusing on biographical counselling since 2008.

She also brings meditative practices into sessions when helpful, and uses art-related methods as part of therapeutic exploration. These tools are offered alongside talk-based work to increase awareness and a sense of connection.

People come to Elisa for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, grief, addiction, family issues, career stress and coping after separation. She aims to help people feel more grounded, identify coping strategies and take manageable steps towards change.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice recurring ways of relating and practise new responses between meetings. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and the person's own goals; it helps people clarify values and make choices in their daily life. Mindfulness-informed methods teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and increase calm, which can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular meetings possible for those who live further away or have unpredictable timetables. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, meditative practices and art-based tasks so they remain practical and usable between sessions.
