Monica Malhotra

Monica Malhotra is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem issues, substance misuse, bereavement and depression. Monica also supports people dealing with body image, attachment and control issues, divorce or separation, and questions around life purpose.

Monica describes her style as person-centred. That means she listens first and helps people say what matters to them. Sessions focus on recognising strengths and past successes. She avoids handing out quick fixes and instead helps people shift perspective and build practical ways to cope.

In sessions she talks through feelings, patterns and difficult decisions. Conversations often include looking at how past relationships shape current reactions. Monica helps people identify small, realistic steps they can try between sessions to test new ways of acting or thinking.

Treatment plans are shaped around each person’s goals and circumstances. Monica pays attention to what a client already does well and uses those resources when planning change. She describes counselling as supportive work that encourages long-term resilience rather than instant solutions.

If someone is unsure how to start, Monica asks a few questions about current concerns and what they want from counselling. That helps set practical goals and an initial plan for sessions. People who speak English, Hindi or Punjabi can work with her, and international clients are not currently accepted.

Approaches Monica Uses and how they work online

Monica works in a person-centred way, which means the focus is on listening and on the client’s own experience. That approach helps when someone needs space to talk through anxiety, grief or doubt about life direction without being pushed toward quick answers.

She often explores attachment-related patterns in relationships. This looks at how earlier connections affect current reactions and helps people recognise repeated habits that cause pain. Addressing attachment can be useful for relationship stresses, abandonment concerns and issues around trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Monica will discuss different ways of working with each person and decide together what to try first, adjusting methods as they learn what helps and what does not. The aim is a collaborative plan based on the client’s goals and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to keep continuity of contact if work or family commitments make in-person visits difficult. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally find online work can suit people who need flexible scheduling or a quieter setting for reflection.
