Monika Bassani Counselling and Supervision

Portrait of Monika Bassani, Counseller and Supervisor

 Hello, and a warm welcome.

 

 Thank you for considering me as your counsellor. I understand that reaching out can be a big step. Counselling is not a rushed process; therapy requires commitment, patience, and collaboration, which are instrumental in the process. 

​

Integrative Counselling is a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic techniques to cater for individual needs, facilitating deeper self-awareness to explore feelings and experiences. 

 

It's important to understand that this process may lead you to confront uncomfortable truths and challenging dysfunctional beliefs both during and between therapy sessions. You might find yourself facing discomfort that you had previously suppressed to protect yourself. Remember, therapy is a journey for you to reach your own realisations and make your own decisions; it's not about the therapist telling you what to do.

​

I am robust and direct in my approach, a tad sweary, but only in context! I work with a Relational approach, noticing your unmet childhood needs is central to my work. The past often resurfaces in our unconscious, affecting our present experiences.  Together, we can explore honest conversations about difficult subjects.

 

My role as your Counsellor is to support you through this process. I aim to empower my clients to gain awareness and assertiveness. I am Attachment and Trauma-informed. I provide you with a structured yet flexible approach. 

 

I do not endorse AI therapy, and it doesn't fall within the parameters of therapy provided by me.

 

Welcome to our Online and In Person Couple Counselling service in Falmouth, Cornwall.

 

I am dedicated to helping you and your partner strengthen your relationship.  With my experience, I provide a supportive environment for exploring your challenges and enhancing communication. Together, we work towards lasting solutions and renewed connections, navigating your behaviour and relationship dynamics, identifying changes that can create a more fulfilling experience for you. 

​

​​I welcome Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity; everyone is unique. 

 

​​​​​​I look forward to being of support to you.

Monika

​​

Trauma Informed: 

I have been working for over a decade with adults, individuals and couples from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. I am trauma-informed, and I understand the impact of past experiences and the effects on your present relationship and relational dynamics with others close to you.

​

Narcissistic Abuse: 

Through personal experience, I understand those silent scars that the impact of Narcissistic abuse leaves behind.

 

​Clinical  Supervision:  

Online Clinical Supervision Integrative approach - Seven-Eyed Model in line with the NCPS and BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.   

​​​

ADH Affirming:

I am ADHD-informed and affirming, both personally, as I am on the spectrum of ADHD and in my professional experiences. My focus is on those difficulties you are facing in your life, different ways of processing information and interacting with the world. I do not deny the challenges associated with ADHD, but I support you in emphasising your potential strengths and unique perspectives. We can focus on understanding and working with your unique brain wiring. 

​

ADHD Coaching:

My services are change-focused; there is space for collaboration to explore new possibilities, overcome obstacles, change behaviours, and find and sustain those goals you want to achieve. Client-led, collaborative and challenging.

​

Walk and Talk Therapy: 

 We can walk around the stunning scenery of Falmouth. I will be discussing any concerns before your first walk-and-talk, so you can make an informed decision. The sessions are outdoors for those clients who may prefer to move or walk. Walk and Talk therapy is linked with many physical and mental health benefits, including decreased stress and anxiety, improved ADHD symptoms, increased focus, and improved sleep patterns.

​​​​

Personal Experience

Having personally experienced the impact of psychological abuse through childhood adversities, Narcissistic abuse, and trauma, I bring empathy and understanding to my work.

 

Through years of personal therapy and dedicated professional training with sheer passion and determination, I have developed the skills and insights to help others navigate their journeys.

 

Outside my professional role, I enjoy coastal walks, exploring the countryside, swimming in the sea, and travelling.

Bookings  

I offer both daytime and evening appointments. I encourage you to consider other therapists as well, as the most important "qualification" when choosing the right therapist is how you feel about them. Research shows that the relationship between the counsellor and the client is the most crucial factor. I offer an initial assessment to discuss your needs and see if we can work together.​ Please note the session lasts approximately 30 minutes and carries a fee.

 

In-person sessions can be arranged; please specify your preferences when booking. To secure your appointment, a payment in advance is required.

 

Cancellation Policy 

 A cancellation made with at least 48 hours' notice will incur no fee. If you need to reschedule, I will do my best to accommodate your request before Friday of that week. However, if I am unable to find a suitable time, the full fee will be charged. I appreciate your understanding.
