Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a counsellor with a 40-year career in counselling and human resources. She combines counselling and mentoring to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. Elisa works in English, Italian and Portuguese and offers individual sessions tailored to each person's needs.

She uses a mix of approaches to match what a person wants to tackle. Sessions may draw on attachment work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

Client-centred methods put the person's experience at the centre of the conversation. Mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas are also used when helpful. Elisa has significant experience with relationship and family concerns, addictions, trauma, grief and eating-related issues.

She also supports people facing career doubts, low self-esteem, anger and problems with communication. Additional focus areas include abandonment, codependency, immigration issues and isolation or loneliness. Her background includes long-term practice with biographical counselling and transpersonal art therapy since 2008.

She has practised meditation for many years and can share simple mindfulness tools in sessions. These methods are offered as options to help build awareness and reduce anxiety and mood swings. Work is practical and personalised.

Sessions may include conversation, reflective exercises, creative elements or short meditation practices depending on what each person needs. Elisa aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online work

Attachment-based work looks at the ways early relationships can shape patterns in adult life. This approach helps when people want to understand recurring relationship habits, attachment issues or feelings of abandonment and emptiness. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It relies on open listening and on helping someone find their own answers rather than giving direct solutions. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness and breathing practices that can reduce rumination and ease anxiety or mood swings.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about needs, goals and preferences and then choose or combine approaches together. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try different methods and keep what works best over time.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when someone needs a quicker check-in or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short exchanges, journalling-style work or when writing feels more helpful. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
