Monica Jose

I am a dedicated and empathetic counsellor with a highly interpersonal style, focused on creating a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment, with 4+ years of experience.

My core philosophy centres on client empowerment, equipping individuals with practical skills and insight to become their own therapists and achieve lasting well-being.

I work with an unconditional positive regard and belief in the humanistic school of thought, and I take an optimistic view of human nature.

Area of Practice

I provide counselling for individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health and well-being concerns, including:

• Depression and low mood
• Anxiety and chronic stress
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Phobia and avoidance-related difficulties
• Trauma and trauma-related symptoms

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

I am really happy to have a 20-minute Zoom session or a personal session with you if you would like to meet and see if we are a good fit before committing to counselling.
