experience positive change
In therapy, you can expect to:
- Talk openly, without needing to filter yourself
- Make sense of patterns that keep repeating
- Learn practical strategies to calm your nervous system
- Feel more confident handling stress, emotions, and relationships
- Leave sessions with clarity
If this resonates, it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you.
It usually means you’ve been holding a lot for a long time
and haven’t had much space to set it down.
Maybe you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or a constant sense that you’re falling short. Anxiety follows you into moments of rest, guilt shows up when you try to say no, and overwhelm can leave you frozen instead of moving forward.

lovely to meet you
why book at coffee with counselling?
I’ve been the high-functioning, anxious over-achiever - and the overwhelmed, self-critical, overthinking version too. I understand the pressure to succeed, the guilt of slowing down, and the frustration of feeling scattered or behind. That lived experience shapes how I show up: grounded, compassionate, and real.

hi, i'm monica.
your new
couch confidant.
Therapy doesn’t have to be serious all the time to be meaningful. I offer a down-to-earth, supportive space where we can talk honestly, laugh when it fits, and work through the things that feel heavy. Together, we’ll focus on understanding what’s going on beneath the surface and building tools that help life feel more manageable and balanced.
