Monica Malhotra , BACP

Monica Malhotra is a London-based counsellor with eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She works with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, substance misuse, bereavement and depression, and she also supports families and individuals coping with significant life changes.

Monica practices a person-centred approach, creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Rather than offering quick fixes, she focuses on helping people shift perspectives, build resilience and develop practical strategies that promote longer-term growth. Her work emphasises recognition of existing strengths and past successes, encouraging clients to draw on their own resources to make meaningful changes.

Each plan is tailored to the individual, with sessions shaped around a client’s needs and goals. Monica is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her commitment to professional standards in counselling. She is dedicated to guiding and supporting clients as they take the often difficult first steps toward greater fulfilment and well-being.

Person-centred care and evidence-based support online

Monica combines a person-centred approach with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. The person-centred approach involves attentive, non-judgemental listening and helping clients explore feelings and personal values to build self-understanding and confidence. It is especially helpful for issues like self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

The evidence-based techniques she uses focus on practical skills and strategies grounded in research to help people manage symptoms and everyday difficulties. These techniques aim to improve coping with stress, anxiety, low motivation and addictive behaviours by teaching concrete tools that can be practised between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monica works with each client to identify goals, preferences and the methods that feel most helpful, adjusting the plan as progress is made and needs evolve.

Online therapy with Monica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit support into a busy life. Working with licensed professionals online can increase flexibility and accessibility while maintaining consistent, ongoing therapeutic relationships with a trained therapist.
