Approaches that guide online counselling

Monica draws on evidence-based approaches that she adapts to each person's needs. One method she uses is cognitive behavioural concepts, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another influence is gestalt and expressive work, which uses creative exercises and attention to present-moment experience to deepen self-awareness and emotional processing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Monica works collaboratively to decide what techniques to try, based on someone’s goals, history and preferences. She explains options plainly and adjusts plans as needed so approaches stay relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so check current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. It can also let people use tools and worksheets together during a session, or try creative exercises that suit a home setting. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt these approaches to work well in remote appointments, and Monica will discuss the best way to meet a person’s needs when arranging sessions.
