Monica | Therapeutic Counsellor and Coach | Somatic Resilience

Introduction

My approach is rooted in a humanistic, relational understanding of therapy. I blend psychodynamic and psycho-spiritual theories with mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and somatic (body-informed) practice. This integrative training enables me to offer holistic therapeutic support that recognises the interconnectedness of your life experiences, interpersonal relationships, nervous system, and headspace.

By acknowledging this interconnection, we gain deeper insight into your full, authentic, embodied self and how to facilitate positive life changes.

My practice is tailored to support each individual's unique needs.

Therapeutic Counselling is founded on a reparative and nurturing relationship, working towards overcoming past and present distress.

Life Coaching has a more developmental focus, concentrating on the present to move you closer to your desired goals.

You may be at a crossroads, feeling stuck, or uncertain. Perhaps you're carrying anxiety, struggling with your inner critic, navigating a life transition, or processing loss. It may seem you're functioning well to the outside world, but internally, you've noticed a persistent tension, exhaustion, or a sense of disconnection from life and yourself, both in your mind (thoughts) and body (emotions).

If you're here, you're seeking more than a quick fix. You want a greater understanding of yourself and your patterns, clarity about your values, a sense of purpose, and alignment with more fulfilling, meaningful experiences and connections.

Through a collaborative and embodied approach, we'll explore the patterns and beliefs holding you back and develop greater self-awareness. You'll gain practical tools for managing anxiety, building emotional resilience, and developing a kinder, gentler relationship with yourself and others.

Taking the first step can feel vulnerable, but you're not alone.

If you're ready to explore what's possible when you have someone truly listening, someone who believes in your capacity for growth and transformation, let's talk. You deserve a space where you can be honest about your struggles, discover your strengths, and create a life that feels truly yours.

Whether you're seeking short-term assistance or a longer, more extended journey, my approach is flexible and adaptable. Together, we'll embark on a transformative process to enhance your well-being and empower positive change.

Specialisations and Expertises

My approach is relational, holistic, and body-informed. Alongside psychodynamic thinking and humanistic principles, I integrate somatic awareness and nervous system-informed practices into our work.

Our emotions, memories, and relational patterns are not held in the mind alone. They live in the bodies, too. By gently bringing attention to bodily experience alongside thoughts and feelings, we can access deeper layers of healing that talking alone sometimes cannot reach. This is particularly valuable for those carrying stress, burnout, trauma, or patterns of emotional shutdown or overwhelm.

I draw on mindfulness, breathwork awareness, and somatic resilience practices to help clients develop a more regulated, resourced nervous system and build the capacity to feel safer in themselves and in their relationships.

My support is tailored to your individual needs and pace, whether that's short-term focused support or a longer, more therapeutic open-ended journey.

Most common issues I support people with:

I have particular experience supporting people with anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and trauma.

I welcome clients from all cultural and spiritual backgrounds. Whether you are seeking short-term support or a longer, more exploratory journey, I am here to walk alongside you, at your pace, and with your whole self in mind.

My training is founded on an Integrative approach to Therapeutic Counselling, and I have worked across schools, mental health services, charities, and community organisations before establishing my private practice. I now work with a diverse, international client base in person (Angel Islington) and online (Zoom).
