About Monica
Monica Oleksy offers counselling for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures and grief. She helps with trauma, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and the practical challenges of life change. Monica aims to listen without judgement and to help people find clearer ways forward.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Monica uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's experience and to create space for honest talk. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative ideas to help people notice patterns and make different choices in daily life.
Monica brings ten years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. She names compassion fatigue, ADHD and post-traumatic stress among the areas she has supported. Her work pays attention to cultural differences and how they shape someone’s story.
Monica is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. She offers sessions in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients based in other countries.
People typically begin by talking about what matters most to them now. Monica listens, reflects and helps set clear goals together. The focus is on small, practical steps that fit into everyday life and build strengths over time.
How counselling approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of each conversation. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening closely, reflecting what matters and helping people set their own goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily signs; online meetings can guide short practices that help with anxiety, sleep and stress. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe their life stories, so online conversations can uncover unhelpful storylines and open up different ways of seeing problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with the person about their needs and preferences, and together they decide which methods suit the situation best. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what they do as progress is made.
Session arrangements are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work and family life, and it can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. Ask about timing and format when you arrange the first appointment to ensure it fits with daily routines.
