Monica Malhotra, BACP

Monica Malhotra is a London-based counsellor with eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, substance misuse, bereavement, confidence issues, and depression, helping them explore what is getting in the way of feeling better and identify practical ways to move forward.

Monica practices from a person-centred perspective, offering a respectful and non-judgemental space where clients are invited to reflect on their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Rather than prescribing quick fixes, she focuses on helping clients shift perspective, build resilience, and develop sustainable strategies for growth. She emphasises clients’ existing strengths and past successes, encouraging them to draw on those resources when working toward change.

Each plan of work is tailored to the individual’s needs and goals, and sessions are adapted to the pace that suits each person. Monica holds the BACP credential, which relates to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and its professional standards. She is committed to guiding and supporting clients as they take the often difficult first steps toward greater fulfilment and well-being.

Person-Centred Care and Evidence-Based Support Online

Monica uses a person-centred approach that prioritises the client’s own experience, offering a supportive space for people to explore feelings and make sense of difficult situations. This approach helps with emotional processing, improving self-awareness, and rebuilding confidence after life changes.

Alongside a person-centred framework, Monica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In practice this means using structured, research-informed methods to help clients develop coping strategies, change unhelpful patterns, and set achievable goals. These techniques are applied flexibly to address issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, and addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monica works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect a partnership in which goals and methods are reviewed together.

Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counselling into busy lives. These options increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility, allowing people to engage with therapy from home or wherever they are most comfortable, while retaining the same focus on effective, professional care from registered professionals and therapists.
