About Monica
BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience, Monica Mendes helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family tensions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She works with clients on issues related to intimacy, anger, career stress, depression and compassion fatigue. Monica also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, dissociation, and aspects of alternative sexual culture such as BDSM and kink.
Monica uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels most difficult right now. She draws on client-centred work to follow each person’s lead and on solution-focused techniques to set clear short-term goals. Mindfulness methods are introduced for grounding and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing helps when people want to make changes but feel stuck.
Sessions are practical and paced to what the person wants to address. Monica listens for patterns in relationships and communication, and helps people try different ways of responding. She will talk through coping strategies for grief, workplace strain, caregiver stress and codependency concerns.
Clients can expect work on specific problems such as commitment or control issues, or on broader themes like emptiness and meaning after relationship breakdown. Monica pays attention to how past attachment experiences shape current reactions, including avoidant or dependent tendencies.
She offers help in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are provided through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How Monica uses practical approaches in online work
Monica commonly combines client-centred work with solution-focused techniques. Client-Centred Therapy means she follows what matters most to the person and builds conversations around their priorities. Solution-Focused work aims for small, achievable steps and clear short-term goals to change what isn’t working.She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing as tools within sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple grounding and breathing practices to help manage intense feelings. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their own reasons and strengths.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Monica will discuss what feels useful and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than applying a single model from the start.
The original biography does not list which specific online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full-hour session is not needed. It can also mean switching to audio-only if bandwidth is limited or choosing a time that fits around work or caregiving commitments.
