About Monica
Monica Oleksy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with anxiety, stress, relationship concerns and related issues including social anxiety and phobia. Monica helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to manage difficult feelings.
She offers time to talk and to make sense of what is happening. Sessions focus on listening, naming emotions and noticing patterns in relationships and behaviour. Monica uses straightforward tools to help people see what matters to them and take practical steps forward.
Her approach draws on client-centred work and mindfulness to help people ground themselves and feel clearer in stressful moments. Narrative and solution-focused ideas are used to notice stories people tell about themselves and to identify small, achievable changes. Existential ideas support conversations about meaning, choice and how to live with uncertainty.
Monica has worked with people facing grief, trauma, low self-esteem, parenting strain, panic attacks and difficulties with sleep and eating. She also supports clients dealing with isolation, guilt, control issues and questions about life purpose. Her experience includes helping those affected by compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges.
She speaks English and Portuguese and accepts international clients. To start, people are invited to use the site matching steps and book a first session. Monica asks about what someone hopes to address so the initial meeting can be focused and practical.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so they feel understood and can explore feelings without pressure; it helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and stress management. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity so clients can consider new possibilities and make different choices.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is discussed during the first sessions and adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking via the online options on the site. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when needed. Phone sessions can be useful where a shorter conversation is wanted, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when that helps the conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can support people across borders, and Monica accepts international clients, so do check session arrangements when you book.
