About Monica
Monica Oleksy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and she accepts international clients.
Monica believes counselling is a space to talk through hard feelings and to make sense of them. She listens and helps people name what is happening, without judgement. Together with a client she looks at patterns that cause repeated frustration or resentment and practical ways to respond differently.
Her approach draws on client-centred work, where the person’s perspective guides each session. She also uses narrative and solution-focused ideas to map problems and spot small changes that make a difference. Mindfulness techniques are offered when helpful to calm the body and steady the mind.
Monica pays attention to cultural difference and how background shapes reactions and relationships. She aims to help people find clearer communication, manage control issues, and rebuild self-trust after painful experiences. Areas she commonly helps with include grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and coping with life changes.
Practical concerns are part of the work. Monica can support people facing panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or compassion fatigue. If a specific issue isn’t listed she invites people to describe it so together they can see if counselling is a good fit.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters most to the client, which helps when anger feels confusing or overwhelming. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the situation; rewriting those stories can reduce shame and blame and open up new choices. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to notice physical tension and interrupt automatic reactions, which can be useful for managing bursts of anger.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work and happens collaboratively. The counsellor and client discuss goals and preferences, try different techniques, and agree what helps most. That shared planning makes it easier to adjust the focus if responses change over time.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if they prefer less screen time, or video when face-to-face feeling matters more. Registered or accredited professionals can help arrange sessions that balance practical needs with therapeutic goals.
