Elisa Helena Levy Fleury, BACP

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is an experienced counsellor and transpersonal art therapist with four decades of professional practice. She combines traditional counselling skills with creative, transpersonal art therapy techniques to support individuals seeking more resourceful and meaningful ways of living. Elisa also offers life and career mentoring, tailoring each session to the specific needs and goals of the person she is working with.

With a background in counselling and human resources, Elisa has focused her clinical work and research on Biographical Counselling and Transpersonal Art Therapy since 2008. Her practice integrates a range of therapeutic approaches so that interventions are responsive to each client rather than one-size-fits-all. A long-term meditation practice informs her work and she shares mindfulness tools in sessions when appropriate to promote awareness, connection and a stronger sense of belonging.

Elisa brings a multicultural perspective and fluency in English, Portuguese and Italian, which supports her understanding of the particular challenges faced by members of the expat community. She creates a safe, personal and non-judgmental space for individual exploration and observes that increased awareness and connection often coincide with reductions in anxiety and mood swings.

Elisa is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines therapeutic and mentoring roles to help clients address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief and career concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Elisa Helena Levy Fleury

Elisa draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses - this approach can be useful for people working with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, focusing on the individual's own resources and goals so that the therapist acts as a supportive companion in the process of personal growth - this is often helpful for issues such as self-esteem, life transitions and coping with change. Elisa incorporates Mindfulness Therapy through meditation-based tools she has practiced for many years - these techniques support present-moment awareness and can assist people managing anxiety, mood fluctuations and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elisa works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit between client and approach. Registered professionals and therapists often blend modalities to match the individuality of each client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or while managing work and family commitments, and they allow Elisa to tailor session formats to the practical needs of the person she is working with.
