About Monica

Monica Oleksy is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures and trauma. She supports those dealing with low self-esteem, depression, grief, eating or sleeping problems, anger and life changes. Monica works in English and Portuguese and brings ten years of experience to her practice in the United Kingdom.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Monica listens carefully and helps people make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what matters to each person, and on practical steps they can try between sessions. Monica draws on client-centred and narrative methods to help people feel heard and seen. She uses mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to spot small changes that make a difference.

Existential themes also appear when clients want to examine meaning, values and direction in life. Sessions can include talking through painful memories, building new ways of relating to stress, and developing tools for managing panic or overwhelming feelings. Monica pays attention to cultural differences and aims to meet each person where they are.

Her BACP accreditation signals membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People often come for help with family conflict, compassion fatigue, body image or social anxiety. Monica accepts international clients and works online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Monica's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps when someone needs a space to feel heard and to explore emotions at their own pace. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and invites new, more helpful perspectives; it can be useful for shifting patterns around identity, shame and life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will discuss different methods and decide together which fits best for each person's goals and preferences. That collaborative plan can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
