I’m Monica, an integrative counsellor offering a warm, collaborative, and thoughtful space where you can explore what feels difficult or uncertain in your life. My approach brings together person-centred values, psychodynamic understanding, and attachment theory to help you make sense of your experiences and strengthen your connection to yourself and others.

I believe therapy is about more than reducing symptoms—it’s about discovering meaning, healing from the past, and building a deeper sense of self-worth and emotional balance. I work relationally, which means I pay attention to the dynamic between us as a way of understanding the patterns that shape your relationships and inner world.

My practice welcomes adults from all backgrounds, with particular experience in issues around identity, grief and loss, anxiety, emotional regulation, self-esteem, and the impact of early relationships. Having lived and worked in different cultures, I value difference and diversity and understand how our personal stories are shaped by context, culture, and belonging.

Together, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you—sometimes exploring painful emotions, sometimes focusing on building resilience and self-understanding. My aim is to support you in feeling more grounded, connected, and at ease in yourself.

I offer weekly 50-minute sessions online and in person in Leeds. My practice is inclusive and trauma-informed, providing a safe and confidential environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to gain, and how we might work together. You’ll have space to ask questions and see if my approach feels like a good fit for you.
