About Monica

Monica Malhotra is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, low self-esteem, substance misuse, bereavement and depression. Her manner is calm and straightforward, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for a worried parent reading on a phone.

Monica uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on what each person brings to the room.

Background and approach

She offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Sessions are shaped around the individual's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. A key part of her work is spotting existing strengths and past successes.

She helps people draw on those resources to cope better and make practical changes. That might mean trying different strategies between sessions and reviewing what works. Monica also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.

She supports people dealing with divorce or separation, life purpose questions, and the task of rebuilding self-love. Her approach aims to build resilience over time rather than quick fixes. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The focus is on steady, achievable change that fits each person's life.

Focus areas and approaches

What Monica works with

Everything Monica lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Monica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the person and their daily life. Person-centred work emphasises the client's perspective, giving space to share thoughts and feelings without judgement and building trust over time. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship worries by helping people find their own solutions.

She also attends to attachment and abandonment themes, helping people understand how early relationships shape present patterns. That kind of work can reduce repeating negative patterns and improve close relationships. When body image or guilt are in focus, sessions aim to develop practical ways to respond differently to unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will talk through options, try different ways of working, and tailor the plan to the client's needs, goals and preferences. The method can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging suits ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
