About Monika

Monika Brown is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage anxiety, stress and low mood. She works in English and Polish and brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She offers straightforward, practical conversations tailored to the issue at hand. That may include thinking through unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, trying short experiments between sessions, or telling and reworking the stories that shape how someone sees themselves.

Background and approach

Monika adapts her style to what a person prefers and needs at the time. Common concerns Monika supports include anxiety, panic attacks, depression, bipolar mood difficulties, grief and anger. She also helps people address attachment issues, body image, workplace stress, feelings of isolation and questions about life purpose.

Her work often focuses on small steps that build stability and clearer thinking. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. Monika listens for what matters most and helps set manageable goals.

Practical tools and conversational reflection are mixed so clients can practise between sessions and notice change. Her approach aims to be down-to-earth and hopeful. Monika encourages people to celebrate small shifts and keeps the focus on usable strategies for day-to-day life.

How Monika’s approaches work online

Monika draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of narrative therapy to help people online. Client-centred work focuses on listening closely and adapting to each person's pace so sessions feel personal and relevant. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses simple tasks to test new ways of responding. Narrative therapy helps people reframe their life stories and notice patterns that they may want to change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Monika will talk through options and try approaches that match the person’s goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress is made or needs shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins during a busy day, and messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing contact between calls. These options offer flexibility that helps people fit therapy into work, family life and travel schedules.
