Elisa Dalla Vedova , BACP

Elisa Dalla Vedova is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, parenting challenges and major life changes. Elisa speaks English, Spanish and Italian and has lived in multiple countries, which informs her sensitivity to cross-cultural issues.

Elisa uses a gentle, person-focused style. Sessions are an opportunity to talk without judgement and at a pace that feels right. She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to make the choices they want to make.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred ways of working. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape how people relate now, and she aims to create a calm, respectful space where people lead the conversation.

She also brings solution-focused and existential perspectives when helpful. Solution-focused techniques help identify small, practical steps for immediate concerns. Existential thinking helps people face questions about meaning, identity and change.

Elisa often works with issues linked to family history, blended family dynamics, fertility and fatherhood concerns, body image, caregiver stress, immigration and communication struggles. People seeking help with guilt, shame, impulsivity and control issues may also find useful support.

Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which can suit different routines and preferences. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches that work online

Elisa commonly uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and can help with relationship worries, abandonment feelings and family of origin issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on active listening and empathy so the person feels heard and can explore their own answers for problems like stress, anxiety and body image concerns.

She also draws on solution-focused methods to help set clear, short-term goals and identify small practical steps. Together with the client she reviews what feels helpful and adjusts the approach as needed. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and will be decided collaboratively based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let conversations feel close to in-person meetings and are good for deeper check-ins. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief reflections and for fitting moments of support into a busy day. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions around work, childcare and travel commitments.
