How Monica’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work and focuses on understanding their experience without judgement. It helps people who need a non-directive space to talk through feelings and make sense of personal difficulties.Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations and to reduce reactivity. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress and strong emotions by bringing attention back to the present moment.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Monica will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of listening, practical tasks and short exercises over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from whatever location they choose. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep a short regular contact or to reflect in writing between longer sessions.
Working online lets registered or accredited professionals reach people across regions, and it supports practical access for those balancing work, caregiving or travel commitments. Monica adapts her methods to whatever online format a person prefers, keeping sessions focused and goal-oriented.
