Online support options

Therapeutic approaches delivered online

Monica uses evidence-based techniques that are easy to explain and apply. One common strand is person-centred work, which focuses on listening carefully and helping people draw on their own strengths to tackle problems. This approach suits worries about self-esteem, life direction and emotional overwhelm.

She also uses practical coping strategies that break larger problems into manageable steps. These techniques help with anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching simple tools for challenging negative thoughts and for building small, steady habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monica will discuss options with each person and decide on a plan based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions feel relevant and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
