Monica Malhotra is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience supporting people through distressing life moments. She works with stress, anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, depression, substance misuse and bereavement. Monica aims to help people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.

Her approach is person-centred, which means she listens without judgement and follows each person’s pace. She focuses on the strengths someone already has and helps them connect those resources to change.

Background and approach

Sessions look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that get in the way of moving forward. Monica builds a tailored plan with each person rather than using one fixed method. She draws out practical strategies alongside reflection, so people leave sessions with clear next steps.

That might include small experiments to try between meetings or ways to manage overwhelming days. She also pays attention to relationship patterns, attachment and issues like abandonment or difficulty setting boundaries. These areas often link to low self-worth, guilt or problems with control, and Monica helps people untangle those links in straightforward ways.

Monica offers sessions in English, Hindi and Punjabi. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Monica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Monica works from a person-centred base, which means she listens closely and tailors sessions to what matters most to each person. That approach helps people feel heard and chosen goals shape the work rather than a fixed programme. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns where understanding what matters to someone is key.

She also integrates practical problem-solving and activity-based work that focuses on small experiments and coping tools. This kind of work is helpful for stress, motivation problems, addictive behaviours and getting through difficult days because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Monica will discuss different ways of working and agree together which methods feel most helpful. She checks in as therapy progresses and can adjust the focus according to evolving needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work visually and build rapport, phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping progress moving forward.
