About Monina
Her approach is integrative and practical. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to meet people where they are. Sessions centre on the client's goals and build on their existing strengths. Monina encourages small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes.
Across nine years in practice she has supported people through grief, chronic illness, caregiver stress and complex relationship patterns. This experience informs how she holds conversations about loss and endings, including end-of-life and hospice-related concerns. Her work also addresses sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and difficulties with focus and attention.
In sessions she listens for how past experiences shape present reactions and helps clients try out different ways of responding. Techniques may include mindfulness exercises, cognitive restructuring, values clarification and open, empathetic listening. The overall aim is to help people feel more able to make choices that match what matters to them.
Monina is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. She accepts international clients and encourages people to begin by describing what they most want to change or understand.

How her approaches translate to online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It helps people cope with difficult thoughts and feelings while moving towards what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and a non-judgemental relationship where the client directs the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list particular options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing sessions during work breaks, or offering shorter check-ins when that suits someone better. It also lets people practice skills in the context of their daily routines, such as mindfulness exercises between sessions, and makes it simpler to keep continuity of care when circumstances change.
