Gentle, practical support for life’s hard moments
About Monica
Monica Oleksy helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain and parenting worries. She supports those struggling with low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and life changes. Monica also works with people managing ADHD, compassion fatigue and social anxiety.
She speaks English and Portuguese and practises from the United Kingdom. Monica uses a warm, listening approach that aims to make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are plainspoken and focused on what matters most to the client.
Background and approach
She helps people name their concerns, find small changes that feel doable, and build on what already works in their life. Her work draws on client-centred ideas that place the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. She also uses mindfulness to help people notice and soften intense emotions.
Narrative and solution-focused ways of working are available to reframe problems and set clear, practical goals. Monica has around 10 years of experience supporting a range of concerns. She is a BACP member, which shows she follows professional standards set by that body.
Monica has worked with many clients and pays attention to cultural and personal differences in each person’s story. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what suits them best. Monica invites anyone curious about therapy to start with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Monica’s approaches work online
Monica draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s experience, offering space to be heard and to understand what matters most. This approach suits issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and general anxiety because it focuses on the client’s perspective and pace.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed. Mindfulness can be useful for stress, panic, sleep problems and managing strong emotions by developing simple practices to use between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding what feels most helpful as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video helps keep visual contact and a fuller sense of the interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
