Professional Experience: Monika has amassed a wealth of experience in various organisational settings and runs her own successful counselling practice. Her extensive background enables her to offer compassionate and effective therapy to individuals facing diverse challenges.
Approach to Counseling: Counselling is a collaborative process in which Monika creates a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. She believes in empowering individuals to better understand themselves, develop coping strategies, and make positive changes in their lives. By fostering a trusting therapeutic relationship, Monika helps clients navigate difficulties and gain insight into their strengths and capabilities.
Understanding Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is an evidence-based therapy focusing on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Monika utilises CBT techniques to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress. CBT equips clients with the tools to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being by teaching practical skills and strategies, such as cognitive restructuring and behavioural activation.

- Anxiety

She combines empathy, active listening, and evidence-based techniques to facilitate meaningful change and promote emotional resilience.
Client-Centred Care: Monika believes in the importance of individualised care and collaborates closely with clients to develop personalised treatment plans. She values feedback and continuously adapts her approach to ensure clients feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.
Mission Statement: Monika is dedicated to providing compassionate and effective counselling services that empower individuals to overcome challenges, foster personal growth, and lead fulfilling lives. Through her expertise and genuine commitment to her client’s well-being, she strives to make a positive difference in the lives of those she serves.
