Eliska Finlay, BACP

Eliska Finlay is a UK-based therapist with three years of professional experience and a background in psychodynamic therapy. She works primarily with adults navigating challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem, burnout, career difficulties, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, eating concerns, parenting stresses, and major life transitions. Eliska also focuses on themes like abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, midlife difficulties, mood disorders, self-love, social anxiety, and workplace problems.

Her manner is reflective and grounded, and she creates a warm, non-judgmental space where people can speak openly and begin to understand themselves more deeply. Drawing on psychodynamic principles, Eliska explores recurring patterns and past experiences that may influence current feelings and behaviours, helping clients to identify areas where change is possible. She combines that background with a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person’s situation.

Eliska holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings an empathetic, steady approach to her work. She acknowledges that therapy is not an instant fix but can provide increasing relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of self over time for those feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted.
