Elisa Helena Levy Fleury, BACP

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury draws on four decades of clinical and counselling experience to support people seeking clearer direction and emotional balance. She works in English, Portuguese and Italian and offers one-to-one therapy and life and career mentoring. Elisa mixes talking and creative methods to help people find practical ways forward.

Elisa uses a range of approaches to suit each person. She blends attachment-informed thinking with client-centred care, mindfulness practices, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused work. Sessions are shaped around the person’s needs and may include reflective conversation, guided meditation or art-based exercises when helpful.

Her background includes long experience in counselling and human resources and a focus since 2008 on biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy. This combination gives her practical insight into life transitions, career questions and identity concerns. She also brings experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief.

Elisa pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and codependency patterns. She also works with relationship and communication difficulties, parenting strain, addictions, eating concerns and anger. Her practice addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame and the challenges that can follow immigration.

In sessions she often uses meditation tools she has practised for many years. Those tools are offered as options to increase awareness and calm. Her aim is to help people build resources they can use between sessions.

How Elisa’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and feelings. In practice this means talking through patterns of closeness and distance and noticing how they show up now, which can help with relationship stress, abandonment concerns and attachment wounds.

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to reflect and grow at their own pace.

Mindfulness-based elements introduce simple attention practices and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and ground everyday moments. These tools can be helpful for anxiety, mood swings and building steady coping routines.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Elisa will discuss different ways of working and will help tailor sessions to a person’s goals, preferences and practical needs. The aim is to choose methods that feel useful and manageable rather than fixed from the start.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific session formats. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel, and make it easier to schedule regular check-ins or brief coaching-type conversations. Ask about the exact formats available when you book so sessions can be arranged to suit daily routines.
