About Eliska
Eliska Finlay is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience and a background in psychodynamic therapy. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, burnout and career uncertainty. Eliska aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and welcoming for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Her approach is reflective and calm. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly and begin to understand themselves more clearly. Sessions look at patterns, early experiences and current pressures, and how these connect with present feelings and choices.
Eliska helps people notice repeated ways of thinking and behaving and then tries out different ways of responding. Work often focuses on managing mood, reducing anxiety, improving self-esteem and coping with change. Practical ideas are combined with time to reflect on what those ideas mean for daily life.
She also supports people through career dilemmas, workplace stress and transitions that come with midlife or family change. Grief, relationship strain and feelings of isolation are included in her practice alongside issues linked to eating and parenting challenges.
Sessions move at a pace set by the person in therapy. Eliska encourages small, manageable steps and reviews progress together so people can see what is helpful and what needs adjusting.
How psychodynamic ideas and online therapy work together
Psychodynamic work looks at how early experiences and repeated patterns affect feelings and choices today. In practice this means gentle reflection in sessions, noticing recurring themes, and talking through how past events link to current stress or low self-esteem. This approach can be helpful for people who want to understand why they react in certain ways and to change long-standing patterns.Alongside this reflective work, evidence-based techniques for managing anxiety and mood can be used in sessions. These techniques focus on simple, practical steps - for example breathing or grounding practices, breaking problems into manageable parts, and planning small behavioural changes to test what helps day to day. They aim to reduce overwhelm while the reflective work continues.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to agree what feels most useful, adapt methods over time and check progress together. That shared planning helps make sure sessions match the client's goals and preferences.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work while relocating or travelling, provided they arrange sessions that suit their schedule and circumstances.
