Monica Oleksy, BACP

Monica Oleksy is a United Kingdom based therapist who supports people facing moments of struggle, confusion and overwhelm. She offers a space to explore difficult feelings and to work through them at a pace that suits each individual, listening carefully and helping clients make sense of their experience so they can better manage day-to-day life.

With ten years of practice, Monica has worked with many people and has seen how growth and change can follow when the right support is in place. She approaches therapy with a professional, non-judgmental stance and a strong belief in the value of well-being and mental health for everyone. Monica is open, respectful and willing to learn about cultural differences that shape a person’s situation and needs.

Monica has experience helping with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, parenting concerns, ADHD and a range of other challenges. She is able to offer therapy in English and Portuguese, and she holds BACP membership, which indicates affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Monica accepts international clients and aims to help each person identify what they need to live a more fulfilling and resilient life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Monica often works from a client-centered approach, which means she prioritises the person sitting across from her, listening closely and helping clients explore their own values and choices to find the best path forward. This approach can be particularly useful for those seeking greater self-understanding and emotional support.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple, practical techniques to notice thoughts and feelings without judgement and to build calm and focus over time. Mindfulness can help with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties and emotional regulation. Monica draws on solution-focused ideas as well, helping clients identify small, realistic steps toward change and building on existing strengths to resolve specific problems more quickly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works with each person to understand their goals, preferences and circumstances and will adjust methods as needed so therapy fits the client rather than the other way around. Registered professionals guide this process and tailor techniques to individual needs.

Online therapy with Monica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access help from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and in how a person prefers to communicate, supporting continuity of care even when in-person appointments are not possible.
