Monica Oleksy

Monica Oleksy offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem and life changes such as divorce and separation. She also helps with grief, trauma, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and challenges linked to ADHD. Monica works in a direct, calm way that aims to make difficult feelings easier to talk about and understand.

She uses listening and reflective conversation to help people make sense of what they are feeling. Sessions focus on identifying small, practical steps alongside deeper reflection about values and meaning. Monica encourages people to notice what is working and to build on their strengths as they move forward.

Monica has around 10 years of experience in counselling. Her practice is informed by several approaches including client-centred work, existential thinking, mindfulness, narrative and solution-focused methods. She draws on these to tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than relying on one fixed method.

She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, which is shown as BACP in her credentials. Monica speaks English and Portuguese and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical matters such as cost are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, people are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Monica welcomes an initial conversation to see whether her way of working matches a person’s needs.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, follows the person's lead and helps them reflect on what matters. This approach suits people who need a safe space to be heard and to clarify their feelings.

Mindfulness Therapy brings simple practices for paying attention to the present moment. It helps reduce overwhelming anxiety, improve sleep and calm strong emotions through breathing and awareness exercises that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will discuss different ways of working and will help the person decide which mix of approaches fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.

Regarding practicalities, the biography does not list specific session formats, so it is important to confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from a quieter location or during a break at work. Some people prefer shorter check-ins while others choose longer sessions; Monica will help arrange a pattern that suits day-to-day life.
