Monica Oleksy helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, relationship problems and life changes. She supports people dealing with trauma, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Monica works in English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom.

She uses a warm, listening approach to help people name and make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, not a fixed agenda.

Background and approach

Monica aims to build practical ways to cope alongside exploring deeper personal meaning. Monica draws on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. She also uses narrative techniques to help people reframe their stories and solution-focused interventions to find small, achievable steps forward.

Mindfulness and existential ideas inform sessions when helpful. Her practice is informed by ten years of experience and she holds BACP accreditation, which reflects professional membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Monica is comfortable discussing cultural differences and listens with curiosity to each person’s background.

People can expect calm, straightforward sessions that aim to reduce distress and increase clarity. Monica encourages people to try different ways of working and to set goals that suit their life. She invites anyone unsure about the next step to get in touch and discuss what they need.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people who feel stuck or unheard to explore their feelings and decide what they need. Narrative therapy works with the stories people tell about themselves, helping to separate problems from identity and try new perspectives. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and immediate changes that people can test between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process feels collaborative and tailored.

Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
