About Monica
Monica Oleksy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress and anxiety, including panic disorder and panic attacks. She also supports those dealing withRelationships, parenting pressures, low self‑esteem and grief. Monica works in English and Portuguese and brings ten years of experience to her practice.
She offers a calm, non‑judgemental space to talk and to make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are aimed at listening first, then helping people uncover what they need to cope and move forward. Monica uses simple, practical steps so conversations feel useful from the start.
Her approach draws on Client‑Centered Therapy, where the person’s experience leads the work, and Solution‑Focused Therapy, which looks for small changes that make a difference. She also uses Narrative Therapy to help people see their life stories in new ways and Mindfulness techniques to ease intense emotions.
Monica is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has a decade of practice supporting a broad range of concerns. She is attentive to cultural differences and aims to listen without judgement while learning from each person’s background.
If someone is unsure where to start, Monica asks about the current problem and what an improved life would look like. From there she and the client agree practical steps and ways to measure progress, keeping sessions focused and straightforward.
How Monica’s approaches translate to online work
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. Online sessions give space for people to speak about what matters most and for the counsellor to reflect this back. Solution‑Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps and clear next actions that can be tried between sessions to ease anxiety and manage panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monica will discuss goals and preferences with each person and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process, and adjustments can be made as needs and circumstances change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is available before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, childcare or long commutes, and some formats make it easier to have a shorter check‑in or to avoid being on camera. Online work can support learning mindfulness tools, practising breathing and grounding techniques, and testing small steps that reduce panic and daily stress.
