Hello, my name is Monique.
I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist - and I want to hear your story. Have you got an impossible dilemma? Are you feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances? Does everything seem dull and pointless? Have you done something you regret or feel ashamed of? Are you burdened with guilt? Finding it hard to control your emotions? Whatever the reason for contacting me, I will consider your problem as if it was mine.
A survivor of multiple traumas, I know hurt has no scale and a million faces. No matter how small or how large, how seemingly insignificant to others or unbearingly dark to you, how troubling or embarrassing, I know what terrible damage it can create. Together, we can find a way to bring it to an end and find the light and lightness within.
Sometimes your problems may seem unfathomable: I’ve been fine all this time so why am I not coping now? But the truth is that, most likely, your issues have been in the making for many, many years. Up until now you have managed to navigate your way in the complex world of emotions - your mind and body have established some coping mechanisms, we all do - but there may come a time when things just become too much and your defences begin to fail you.
I have gained experience working for Serendipity York, 1-2-1 Counselling, York St John Communities Centre, and my own private practice.
