About Monica
Monica Malhotra is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, low self-esteem, substance misuse, bereavement and depression. Monica aims to make first appointments straightforward and calm for those who may be anxious about starting therapy.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the client's priorities central. Sessions focus on listening, helping the person make sense of their feelings, and noticing strengths from past experience.
Background and approach
Monica does not offer quick fixes; she supports people to change how they see a situation and to build practical coping skills over time. Monica collaborates with each person to shape goals and plans that suit them. Therapy can include looking at attachment and abandonment concerns, issues with control or body image, handling guilt or shame, and working through divorce or loss.
She also supports people thinking about life purpose and self-love. Sessions are tailored to the individual's pace and needs. Monica helps clients identify small, achievable steps and celebrate progress along the way.
She focuses on usable strategies that fit day-to-day life. Many people come to talk about anxiety and stress, but Monica will respond to whatever issue is most pressing for the client. Her approach aims to make changes feel possible and manageable.
Approaches and online options that suit busy lives
Monica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the person's experience. One common approach involves person-centred work, which centres sessions on the client's priorities, listening carefully and helping them name and make sense of difficult feelings; this helps with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship stress. Another approach looks at attachment and abandonment patterns to understand recurring relationship worries and emotional responses; this can be useful for people who notice repeated themes in relationships or struggle with trust and closeness.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica will discuss which methods might help and adjust the plan as therapy progresses, using the client's goals and preferences to guide choices. She aims to work together to find what feels most helpful rather than imposing a single method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper exchange, phone sessions can fit a short check-in into a busy day or need less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing or want brief ongoing contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on useful strategies and steady progress.
