About Monica
Monica Oleksy is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, parenting strain, low self-esteem and difficulties with sleep or eating. Monica works in English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom.
She uses a conversational, calm style and focuses on helping people make sense of strong feelings. Sessions are straightforward: she listens, asks questions to clarify what matters and helps people notice patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
The aim is to find practical ways to cope and to make choices that feel more aligned with a person’s values. Monica draws on Existential ideas about meaning and responsibility and also uses client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s experience. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage intense emotions and improve attention.
Narrative and solution-focused tools are used to reframe difficulties and build small, achievable steps forward. She has around ten years of experience working with a range of concerns. Monica is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP.
That membership is shown as BACP in her credentials. People who choose Monica can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space. She pays attention to cultural differences and listens with curiosity.
If someone wants help, she will talk through how therapy could work and what steps to take next.

Online support
How Monica uses therapy approaches online
Monica commonly draws on Existential Therapy to help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels confusing. This approach can be useful for someone wrestling with life purpose, major change or feelings of isolation. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's own experience at the heart of sessions and helps build trust and self-understanding.Mindfulness Therapy is offered as a practical way to manage intense emotions and improve focus through simple attention and breathing practices. These methods can be helpful for anxiety, panic and sleep difficulties as a complement to conversation-based work. Monica will discuss which approaches feel most useful and adapt methods to each person's goals in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well when visual contact helps the conversation. Phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and support that can fit around work or family commitments. Monica will work with clients to choose formats and pacing that fit their lives.
