Monica Mendes

Monica Mendes is a counsellor with 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with clients who are dealing with family conflict, self-esteem struggles, intimacy concerns and anger. Monica offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to adapt sessions to each person’s situation.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens without judgement and helps people set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client, whether that is coping with life changes or improving communication with others.

Monica uses approaches rooted in listening and collaboration. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create space for people to speak openly, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify clear steps forward. Mindfulness Therapy is used to help manage stress and anxiety by building present-moment awareness.

Over more than a decade of work in the United Kingdom she has supported people facing trauma, loss, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work with individuals navigating attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and the complexities of alternative sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink.

Monica is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. If you want a therapist who listens and helps you find practical next steps, she aims to make the process straightforward and supportive.

How Monica’s approaches translate to online work

Monica uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where people can speak openly and feel heard; this helps with issues like self-esteem, relationship worries and grief. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach simple, practical techniques for managing stress and anxiety, such as grounding exercises and breath awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will check in about your goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that match your needs. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people continue therapy when schedules or locations change. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
