Elisa Helena Levy Fleury, BACP

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, anxiety, relationship worries and life transitions. Elisa works in English, Italian and Portuguese and brings a multicultural perspective to sessions.

Her practice combines talking therapies with creative and reflective tools. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening and mindfulness, and draws on psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when helpful. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed formula.

Elisa has practised in counselling and human resources for over 40 years and has focused, since 2008, on Biographical Counselling and transpersonal art therapy. Her experience includes life and career mentoring alongside therapeutic work. She often shares simple meditation techniques when clients want them.

People come to her for a wide range of issues, including grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating difficulties, parenting strain, ageing and geriatric issues, loneliness and career concerns. She also supports those facing family-of-origin problems, separation and challenges around attachment and dependence.

In sessions Elisa aims to help people notice patterns, build resources and find practical steps forward. She blends reflective conversation with creative exercises when useful. The focus is on helping each person live in a way that feels more meaningful and manageable.

Approaches used in online therapeutic work

Elisa commonly draws on attachment-based work, client-centred listening and mindfulness practices in her sessions. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current feelings and reactions, which can help with issues such as trust, abandonment and relationship difficulty. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the person can explore their own answers and goals at their own pace. Mindfulness involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce anxiety and help with mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elisa will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Over a few sessions she and the client can adjust the focus, adding creative or biographical elements where these seem helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also let people include meditation exercises or art-based tasks between sessions to reinforce work done together.
