About Monica
Monica Malhotra is a counsellor with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or relationship difficulties. Her practical aim is to help clients find clearer ways to cope and regain confidence.
She uses a person-centred stance that puts the client's voice first. Sessions focus on building on strengths and past successes rather than prescribing ready-made solutions.
Background and approach
Monica helps people talk through painful experiences like bereavement, separation and addiction, and she works on issues such as self-esteem, body image, guilt and shame. In the room she listens without judgement and helps clients notice patterns that hold them back. Together they explore options, test small changes and build practical strategies for everyday life.
She adapts each session to what the person needs that week. Monica also pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes and how these shape relationships and self-worth. She supports people working on forgiveness, control issues and finding a renewed sense of purpose.
The work is collaborative and paced to the client's readiness. For someone nervous about starting therapy, she offers steady, straightforward support. Clients are helped to set realistic goals and to track progress over time.
The emphasis is on usable tools and gradual, durable change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Monica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make sense of their feelings and change patterns that cause distress. One common approach she uses is person-centred work, which centres the client's experience and helps people feel heard, understood and able to explore emotions at their own pace. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns.She also addresses attachment and abandonment issues by helping clients recognise how past relationships shape current reactions. That work often involves noticing relational patterns, practising new responses and building more reliable ways of relating to others. These techniques can be helpful for relationship difficulties and feelings of repeated loss or rejection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person, try different ways of working and refine the plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well when visual contact matters, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or quick check-ins, and messaging lets people pause and reflect between contacts. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while keeping continuity of care.
