About Monica

Monica Malhotra is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Her approach is warm and person-centred, aimed at helping people find their own strengths and make steady changes.

She supports people through relationship difficulties, grief, addictions and big life changes. Monica pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, control issues and the fallout from divorce or separation.

Background and approach

She also works with themes of guilt, shame, forgiveness, life purpose and self-love. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Monica avoids handing out quick solutions.

Instead she helps people test small changes and build practical strategies that fit their day-to-day life. Every plan is shaped around the person in the room. Monica uses a tailored approach so sessions reflect each person’s goals and pace.

She highlights past successes and simple skills people can use between appointments. Taking the first step can feel difficult. Monica offers steady, respectful support while people work towards greater confidence and more manageable routines.

Her aim is to help people feel more able to cope and to make lasting changes that matter to them.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Monica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the person and their everyday strengths. One common strand is person-centred work which centres on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can notice patterns and make choices. This approach helps with low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns by creating space to understand feelings.

She also uses practical strategy-focused techniques to build coping skills and small behavioural changes. These methods break big problems into manageable steps and are useful for anxiety, stress, addictions and coping with life changes. The emphasis is on testing simple tools between sessions and adjusting them to fit daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy itself. Monica will work together with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face discussion, phone calls can be a shorter check-in or suit low bandwidth, and text or chat can fit into a busy day or be used for ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
