About Monica
Monica Oleksy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief. Monica also supports clients facing life purpose questions after big changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Monica listens and asks questions that help people make sense of what they are feeling. She helps clients notice patterns, consider different choices and try small experiments to see what helps.
Her approach draws on client-centred work that focuses on the person in front of her. She also uses narrative ideas to help people tell and revise the stories they carry about themselves. Mindfulness techniques are offered to manage strong emotions and ground attention in the present.
Monica pays attention to cultural differences and welcomes people from a variety of backgrounds. She works in English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. Practical concerns like sleep, eating and panic attacks are part of her caseload alongside relationship and parenting strains.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with pricing that varies by location. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button. Monica suggests discussing goals early so sessions focus on what matters most to the client.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. Online this looks like active listening, reflective questions and pacing that follows the client. It suits people who need someone to help clarify feelings and priorities. Narrative Therapy helps people revisit the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. In remote sessions this may involve talking through events, naming patterns and trying out new meanings for difficult moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Monica will help clients decide which methods fit best based on their goals, what feels manageable and practical constraints. That decision is collaborative and can change as the work develops.
