Elisa Helena Levy Fleury , BACP

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a seasoned counsellor and transpersonal art therapist with four decades of professional experience supporting people through life's challenges. She combines counselling, mentoring and creative therapeutic techniques to help clients discover more resourceful and meaningful ways of living, tailoring each session to the individual's needs and goals.

Her background spans counselling and human resources, and since 2008 she has concentrated her practice and research on Biographical Counselling and Transpersonal Art Therapy. She also offers life and career mentoring alongside therapeutic work, integrating an array of approaches to fit each person's circumstances.

Born into a multicultural environment and fluent in English, Portuguese and Italian, she brings a sensitivity to the particular pressures faced by expatriates and people navigating cross-cultural transitions. A long-term meditation practitioner, she includes mindfulness tools in sessions when helpful, noting that these practices can increase awareness and a sense of connection and belonging, and may reduce anxiety and mood swings for some clients.

Elisa is accredited with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she accepts clients in the United Kingdom for individual therapeutic work and mentoring focused on stress, relationships, trauma, grief, career issues and more.

Approaches for online therapy and practical support

Elisa integrates attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and mindfulness into her online practice. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to help clients understand how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses - it can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on offering an empathetic, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build self-awareness, self-esteem, and personal agency - it often helps with depression, life changes, and decision-making. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which many people find helpful for stress, anxiety, and mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Elisa works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to engage from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
