Born to Rise Counselling and Wellbeing

I am glad you are here. Asking for support can feel hard at times, but you're not alone in this. I'm here for you.

A Safe Space to Talk, Heal, and Grow

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel scary or uncertain, and that’s completely okay. Many people feel nervous at first. You don’t have to go through it alone. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or struggling to feel like yourself, counselling can offer a safe, quiet space where you can talk freely and feel truly heard.

Our sessions are guided by you and what feels right in the moment. There’s no pressure, no expectations, and no fixed plan. You can take things at your own pace. I will listen with warmth, care, and understanding, and together we can gently explore whatever feels most important to you, when you feel ready.

About Born to Rise Counselling and Wellbeing

Meet Monika- An integrative Counsellor Who Walks Beside You

Hi, I’m Monika.

I’m an integrative counsellor, and I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel safe, supported and truly listened to.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, coping with grief and loss, living with the effects of trauma, or simply feeling that everything has become too much, you don’t have to face it all on your own.

I understand that reaching out for support isn’t always easy. Sometimes we spend so much time being strong for everyone else that we forget about ourselves. You might feel exhausted, lost, or unsure where to begin — and that’s okay.

My approach is simple: your story, your pace.

I believe that everyone is different, which is why I tailor our sessions to your individual needs. There is no pressure, no judgement and no fixed agenda. Together, we can gently explore what’s troubling you, make sense of your feelings and help you find your own way forward.

For me, counselling is about building a genuine, trusting relationship where you can simply be yourself. You don’t need to pretend you’re okay, have all the answers or find the right words.

Sometimes, just having someone who truly listens and understands can make a difference.

You deserve to feel heard, valued and supported.

If you feel ready to take that first step, I offer a free 20-minute discovery call where we can have a friendly chat, talk about what you’re looking for and see whether working together feels right for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm wishes,

Monika, MBACP

My Services

I offer counselling for adults, providing a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly and feel truly heard. Sessions are available online or face-to-face, so you can choose the option that feels most comfortable and fits your lifestyle.

Online counselling offers flexibility and convenience from the comfort of your own home, while in-person sessions provide a calm, confidential environment for deeper connection and focus.

I support clients with bereavement, anxiety, trauma, low mood, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, life changes, and past experiences. You don’t need to have everything figured out — we’ll work together at your pace, focusing on what matters most to you.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone- I am here for you, support you throughout your counselling journey.

QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE

Where will our sessions take place?

Sessions take place in a comfortable room, and online sessions are available too- so you can choose what feels most comfortable and accessible for you.

What is the fee for a counselling session?

I offer a free 20-minute discovery call, giving you the opportunity to ask any questions, share what you're looking for, and see if I'm the right counsellor for you- with no pressure or obligation. Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs £50.

I also offer reduced rates for students and clients on a low income, because I believe support should be as accessible as possible. If cost is a concern, please feel free to ask-we can talk about options together.

How many counselling sessions do you offer?

I'm here to support you and walk alongside you on your journey, for as long as you need - at your peace, in your time.

You are welcome

You're welcome to get in touch by phone or email - I'll respond as soon as I can and am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Before your first session, I'll provide a counselling contract, so you have all the information you need and can feel comfortable and supported from the very beginning.
