About Monica

Monica Oleksy helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems and parenting strain. She also supports those coping with trauma, low self-esteem, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and difficulties with attention. Monica works in English and Portuguese and has ten years' experience as a counsellor registered with the BACP.

Monica aims to offer a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what is hard.

Background and approach

She listens closely and uses simple questions to help people make sense of their feelings. Sessions are practical and focused on what the person wants to change. Her approach draws on client-centred methods that place the person's experience at the centre of the work.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help calm anxiety and solution-focused tools to set clear, doable steps forward. Narrative and existential ideas help people rethink their stories and find meaning after loss or big life changes. Monica is experienced in supporting people through trauma and abuse, grief and post-traumatic stress, panic attacks, and compassion fatigue.

She works with concerns such as body image, social anxiety, guilt and shame, isolation and control issues. People can expect a warm, non-judgemental manner and a practical focus on what they want to achieve. Monica invites clients to explore their values, build coping skills and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Online support

Monica uses client-centred work to keep the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering space to be heard and to build understanding of thoughts and feelings. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer self-awareness, or support in making decisions. She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help reduce anxious thoughts and improve grounding in the present moment. Mindfulness practices can be useful for sleep troubles, panic and managing stress day to day. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences. She adapts sessions as understanding grows and priorities shift. Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for different situations. Video is useful for a full conversational experience, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while still working through concerns with a registered professional.
