About Elisa
Elisa Helena Levy Fleury brings together person-centred listening and a reflective, exploratory approach to help people find steadier footing. She offers one-to-one therapy and life or career mentoring that aim to make daily challenges easier to manage. Elisa writes plainly and works with practical tools drawn from many traditions to match each person’s needs.
She has more than 40 years of experience in counselling and human resources, and since 2008 she has focused on biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy. Elisa comes from a multicultural background and speaks English, Portuguese and Italian, which informs her understanding of cross-cultural stresses and migration-related concerns.
In sessions she mixes approaches such as attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused strategies. Elisa may introduce meditation exercises and creative art techniques when they help a person reconnect with inner resources. The therapist adapts each meeting to what the person needs in that moment.
Elisa works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem, grief, addictions, eating problems and parenting questions. She also supports people facing career shifts, life transitions and issues linked to abandonment or attachment difficulties.
Her style is respectful and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on practical steps as well as deeper reflection. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
How Elisa’s approaches translate to online work
Elisa combines attachment-based thinking with client-centred practice and mindfulness to support people through stress and life changes. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with commitment, communication and abandonment worries. Client-centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping the person find their own solutions, useful for self-esteem, career questions and family-related concerns. Mindfulness practices are simple attention exercises that reduce anxiety and help steady mood swings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Elisa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative conversation helps shape each session so it fits the person’s needs and aims.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use meditation or creative exercises during a session without needing to be in the same room as the therapist. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on how online sessions might suit your situation and help plan practical arrangements.
