About Monica
Monica Oleksy offers counselling for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression and grief. She supports those coping with trauma, anger, sleep or eating difficulties, and the challenges that come with life changes. Monica is also experienced with compassion fatigue and attention-deficit hyperactivity concerns. She speaks English and Portuguese and works from the United Kingdom. Monica holds BACP accreditation, and brings ten years of practice to her work.
Monica’s sessions focus on listening and helping people make sense of difficult feelings. She encourages clients to talk through what matters and to discover what they need next. The aim is practical: to reduce overwhelm, increase understanding of patterns, and find manageable steps forward. Clients set the pace and topics of each session.
Her style draws on person-centred ways of working, along with narrative and solution-focused ideas. She uses mindfulness and existential thinking to help people connect with values and meaning. These approaches shape conversations rather than rigid rules, and they get adapted to each person’s situation.
Monica values cultural difference and aims to be open and respectful in sessions. She has supported many people over the past decade and emphasises collaboration and growth. If a concern is not listed, she invites people to ask about it before booking.

Approaches that guide online conversations
Monica commonly draws on client-centred work and mindfulness alongside solution-focused ideas. Client-centred therapy centres on attentive listening and following what the person brings, which helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. Mindfulness offers simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, useful for anxiety, sleep and anger management. Solution-focused techniques aim for small, practical steps that can change daily routines and relieve stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Monica will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative exploration rather than a fixed prescription, and approaches can shift as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to keep continuity while living abroad, which supports international clients. Monica will discuss practical arrangements and what will help sessions work well for each person.
