About Monica

Monica Oleksy offers counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting worries, depression, grief, trauma and related concerns. She works with practical problems like sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, panic, and the fallout from major life changes. Monica speaks English and Portuguese and practices from the United Kingdom.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her approach is straightforward and people-centred. Sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most to the individual.

Background and approach

Monica helps clients make sense of painful feelings and notice patterns that get in the way of daily life. She uses clear, small steps so change feels manageable. Monica draws on client-centred and mindfulness approaches to help people feel heard and grounded.

Narrative and existential ideas are used to reflect on identity, purpose and the stories people tell about themselves. Solution-focused techniques are used when practical goals and quick strategies are helpful. With ten years of experience, Monica has worked with a wide range of issues including compassion fatigue, body image concerns, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress.

She pays attention to cultural differences and listens without judgement. People who choose her tend to want calm, steady support and practical ways to cope. Monica aims to help clients find clearer choices and greater confidence in everyday life.

Approaches online that focus on people and solutions

Client-centred therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace to help them feel understood and accepted. This approach suits people who need space to explore feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Mindfulness therapy teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations with less reactivity. Simple breathing and grounding practices are used to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep, anxiety and stress management. These exercises can be practised between sessions to build gradual change.

Solution-focused work is goal-oriented and looks for small, achievable steps. It helps when someone wants clear actions to try right away, such as improving communication or managing panic attacks. Together the therapist and client agree on next steps and review what helps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. This means trying practical options and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feeling, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging is good for short reflections or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, and to maintain continuity when schedules change.
