About Monica
Monica Malhotra is a counsellor practising in London with eight years of experience supporting people through common life difficulties. She meets clients who are facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship strain, bereavement and struggles with self-esteem. Monica also helps people dealing with addictions and major life transitions.
She uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the individual's needs at the heart of each session. That means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, not a fixed script.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people notice their strengths and use them when facing hard moments. Monica focuses on helping people shift unhelpful patterns and build resilience. She works on practical strategies alongside reflecting on past experiences and attachment or abandonment issues.
Topics such as body image, control, guilt, shame and finding purpose are also within her practice. Therapy is tailored to each person's goals, so plans look different from case to case. Monica supports people to try new ways of coping and to track small changes over time.
She frames counselling as a collaborative process rather than a set of ready-made answers. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Monica aims to make that step manageable. Her approach is calm and respectful, with an emphasis on steady progress and clearer direction for everyday life.

How Monica works online
She also draws on practical problem-solving and coping strategies to help clients manage day-to-day stress and addictive behaviours. These techniques focus on small, achievable changes like organising routines, testing new ways of responding, and building resilience over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monica works collaboratively to decide which techniques fit a client's needs, goals and preferences. That means the plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, can adapt their methods to suit remote sessions so the focus stays on practical progress and personal support.
