Monica Oleksy, Child and Adult Counsellor. FdSc, P2B, MBACP
About me
Everyone goes through difficult times in life. But sometimes life can feel a real struggle where people may feel stuck, confused and unable to cope.
The aim of counselling is to give you an opportunity to explore difficult feelings, help you make sense and better manage them. I can help you by listening to you and exploring how you feel. Together we can work through your feelings, get a deeper understanding of who you are and find out what you need to live a more fulfilling and growthful life.
I offer a safe, professional, non-judgmental and confidential environment, counselling adults, adolescents and children. I can offer long term or short term counselling.
Common issues I have experience working with: anxiety, depression, isolation, anger, loss, bereavement, relationships, stress, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse. This is not intended to be a conclusive list. Please let me know the issue you would like to address to see if I can help!

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
