About Monika
Monika Brown is a counsellor who uses Narrative and other conversational approaches to help people make sense of difficult experiences. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, bipolar disorder and depression in a calm, respectful way. Monika speaks English and Polish and practises from the United Kingdom.
Monika focuses on listening first. She helps people tell their story and notice the parts that feel stuck. From there she supports practical steps to reduce panic, ease workplace pressure, or manage intense mood swings.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and flexible. Monika adapts sessions to each person's needs, balancing reflective conversation with hands-on strategies when that is helpful. She draws on client-centred methods to give space for the person’s priorities and CBT techniques to target unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
She also pays attention to relationships and life meaning. That includes attachment concerns, communication problems, control issues, loneliness and questions about life purpose. Monika can help someone facing post-traumatic stress symptoms, body image worries, or difficulties with narcissistic behaviour in others.
Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are discussed together. Monika uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging sessions to suit the person’s availability.

How narrative and practical therapies work online
Monika combines Narrative Therapy with client-centred and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people clarify what matters and change patterns that cause distress. Narrative Therapy invites a person to tell their story and then look at it from new angles to reduce its power over day-to-day life. Client-centred work gives space for the person's priorities and feelings, while Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments to test new ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monika will discuss different styles and help decide which fits the person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means sessions can shift over time as needs change, mixing reflective conversation with practical exercises when useful.
Online formats offer real practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity when travel or work schedules change.
