About Monica
Counsellor Monica Malhotra is a BACP member with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, low motivation, self-esteem, substance misuse, bereavement and depression. Monica also pays attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment, body image, control, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose.
Her way of working is person-centred. That means sessions focus on the person's own experience and choices rather than the therapist giving directions. Monica pays attention to strengths and past successes so clients can use what already works for them.
Sessions are intended to be respectful and non-judgemental. Conversations look at thoughts and feelings and how these affect everyday life. Monica aims to help people shift perspective and build practical ways of coping.
She adapts the work to each person's goals and situation. Plans and session topics are agreed together and reviewed over time. The emphasis is on steady change and practical steps rather than quick fixes.
Monica works in English and is also comfortable speaking Hindi and Punjabi. She does not take international clients at this time. Before booking, people should confirm current session options using the site controls.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Monica describes her work as person-centred. This approach focuses on listening closely to the person's concerns and reflecting them back. It helps people make sense of their feelings and decide what changes to try.She also draws on evidence-based techniques that look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. These techniques help people break patterns that keep anxiety, low mood or low motivation in place. They are practical and aim to build coping skills for everyday life.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Monica will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will help decide which techniques to use. That decision is made together and can change as the work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use these benefits to help people keep therapy consistent alongside daily life.
