About Monica
Monica Malhotra is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, substance misuse, bereavement and depression. Monica uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the person’s experience at the centre of each session.
She creates a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly about difficult feelings. Monica does not hand out quick fixes. Instead she helps people shift perspectives and find practical ways to manage day-to-day challenges.
Sessions focus on a client’s existing strengths and past successes. Monica helps clients build resilience and draw on their own resources to make changes that matter to them. Treatment plans are shaped around each person’s goals and current circumstances.
Her work covers relationship strain, family concerns, coping with life changes, and issues such as abandonment, attachment and shame. She also supports people with body image, control issues, forgiveness and finding life purpose.
Monica speaks English, Hindi and Punjabi, and she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. To start, she asks people to reflect on what they want to change so planning can begin from there.
How Monica’s approaches translate to online counselling
Monica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred stance. Person-centred work means she listens closely, reflects what you say and helps you notice your own strengths and choices. This approach supports people managing stress, anxiety, grief and self-esteem concerns by helping them make sense of their feelings and try new responses.She also draws on practical strategies to build resilience and manage difficult moments. These may include simple routines, coping plans and small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Such techniques are useful for issues like low motivation, substance misuse and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Monica will work with each person to decide what feels most useful, adjusting methods as progress is made and priorities change.
