Eliska Finlay , BACP

Eliska Finlay holds membership with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and practises as a therapist in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a foundation in psychodynamic therapy. She specialises in supporting adults through challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout, career uncertainty, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating concerns, parenting pressures, and other major life transitions. Her work combines reflective exploration with practical understanding, creating a calm, non-judgmental space where people can speak openly and begin to uncover the patterns and earlier experiences that shape present feelings and behaviours.

Eliska approaches therapy as a gradual process of discovery and change rather than a quick fix. She helps clients explore how past events and attachment patterns influence current responses, and she supports the development of clearer perspective, coping strategies, and a stronger sense of self. Many people seek her support when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. Acknowledging that taking the first step requires courage, Eliska frames that initial move as meaningful progress toward clearer thinking and more sustainable wellbeing.

Psychodynamic insight and evidence-based techniques online

Eliska combines psychodynamic work with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients in an online setting. Psychodynamic therapy involves exploring past relationships and early patterns to reveal how they influence current feelings and behaviours - this approach can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, relationship difficulties, and deeper patterns that contribute to anxiety or low self-esteem. Evidence-based therapeutic techniques refer to practical, research-informed strategies used alongside reflective work to address symptoms and daily challenges - these techniques can help with stress management, mood difficulties, ADHD-related coping, and building healthier routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Eliska works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the approach as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These remote options can increase accessibility for people living outside the therapist’s immediate area and for international clients, while maintaining the opportunity for sustained, meaningful therapeutic engagement with licensed professionals.
