Elisa Helena Levy Fleury, BACP

Elisa Helena Levy Fleury is a seasoned counsellor and transpersonal art therapist with four decades of experience in counselling and human resources. She combines practical mentoring for life and career with therapeutic work that is tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on a range of approaches so sessions are responsive and individualized.

Her practice has focused since 2008 on Biographical Counselling and Transpersonal Art Therapy, blending narrative exploration with creative practice to help people find meaning and new resources for living. Coming from a multicultural background and working extensively with the expat community, she brings cultural sensitivity and language flexibility to her work, offering therapy in English, Portuguese and Italian.

Elisa is also a long-term meditation practitioner and integrates mindfulness tools into sessions when appropriate to support greater awareness, connection and a stronger sense of belonging. These practices have been observed to reduce anxiety and smooth mood fluctuations for many people she works with.

She is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. In addition to counselling, Elisa offers mentoring and coaching to help clients address career decisions, relationship patterns, family concerns and coping with life changes, always aiming for a more resourceful and meaningful way of living.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and support

Elisa draws on client-centered therapy and mindfulness-based approaches to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore concerns, build self-awareness and strengthen decision-making; it can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, supporting coping with anxiety, mood swings and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Elisa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts sessions over time so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Elisa is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family and other commitments while maintaining therapeutic continuity with licensed professionals and therapists who can tailor support to each individual’s circumstances.
