About Monica
Counsellor Monica Oleksy is a BACP member with ten years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, alongside issues such as depression, trauma and grief.
Monica listens without judging and helps people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on talking things through, noticing patterns and finding small steps that feel possible. She describes counselling as a chance to understand who you are and what you need next.
Her style draws on client-centred work, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of the session. She also uses narrative ideas to help people see their problems as stories that can be retold. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with grounding and reducing nervous tension.
Monica has worked with many different people over the last decade. That includes those affected by loss, abuse, low self-esteem, panic attacks, eating or sleeping difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to cultural difference and listens to how background shapes a person’s situation.
Language options include English and Portuguese. International clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions run via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Monica’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy places your experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens and follows what matters most to you, helping you name feelings and decide next steps. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems.Narrative therapy treats problems as parts of people’s stories rather than fixed identities. It helps separate a person from an issue and find different ways to view recurring patterns, which can be useful for trauma, grief and ongoing relationship stress.
Mindfulness methods are short practical exercises to steady the body and reduce overwhelm. They are often used alongside talking work to manage panic attacks, sleep difficulties and persistent worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss aims, try different ways of working and agree what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process based on your needs and preferences.
