The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
— Carl R. Rogers

What is counselling?

When you have found your counsellor, someone who you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts with, you can begin your therapy.

In a safe environment with a qualified counsellor’s presence, you will have the opportunity to address and understand your feelings, thoughts and fears and get closer to your authentic self.

With greater awareness of the difficulties, you may also realise the opportunity to positive change for yourself.

Why do people look for counselling?

Have you ever experienced feeling stuck and not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Have you ever found yourself in a dead end in your relationship?

Have you ever thought that your life has lost its meaning, it’s sense of purpose?

Have you ever wanted to escape from unpleasant feelings?

Have you ever felt unworthy or unlovable?

We all have these feelings from time-to-time and learning to trust ourselves and to work them is how we can begin to heal. You can make this journey in the presence of a professional counsellor.

Testimonials

  • 29 year old female client

    “I have been suffering because of panic attacks for 10 months. Many times my anxiety level was so high, what I wasn’t able to handle. I couldn’t stop crying, I was terrified to die.

    2 months ago, after a very bad panicky episode I decided to reach out for help. I was looking for a therapist to help me to treat this disease.

    Then I’ve found Monika. I was scared first, as I’ve never had counselling before, but I didn’t regret I started. I’ve had therapy with Monika for 1 month and it helped a lot. I haven’t had panic attack since we started and I feel significantly better. I’m really grateful.”

  • AH

    “I was extremely nervous before starting my counselling journey but Monika has been able to make me feel safe, which means I have been able to talk openly. During our talks she has been calm, patient and non judgemental, gently helping me to explore my feelings. I feel heard, valued and most importantly safe. Thank you Monika.”
