About Monica
Monica Oleksy is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems and parenting strain. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and anger. Monica works in English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom.
Monica uses a conversational, person-centred style that lets people set the pace. She listens and asks questions to help clients make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions aim to build clearer choices and small changes that make everyday life easier.
Background and approach
Her background includes ten years of practice with a wide range of concerns, from sleep and eating difficulties to panic and post-traumatic stress. Monica holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves.
That helps separate problems from identity and opens new ways to move forward. Monica also uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to foster self-awareness and practical coping skills. Many clients come wanting help with communication, control issues, or life changes such as divorce and separation.
Monica pays attention to cultural differences and aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Online session options
How Monica’s approaches work online
Monica uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, so issues like low self-esteem or relationship patterns can be seen in a new light. Narrative work is useful for sorting out identity questions and for finding different ways to live beyond a single problem.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. That approach supports people who need space to talk things through and to discover their own solutions. Existential ideas are sometimes woven in to help with questions about meaning, life purpose and coping with big changes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs to decide which methods fit best. That collaboration means the plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls work where bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging helps when people prefer writing or need flexible check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping ongoing contact with a registered or accredited professional.
