How Monica blends approaches for online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and more able to explore what they want to change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can help with anxiety, stress and anger. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and past successes to build confidence and move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will discuss options with each person and decide together what fits best for their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs evolve.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or removing the need to be on camera when that is helpful. Many people find online sessions let them continue care across locations, including international appointments, but check current arrangements when you book.
