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. I want to make our working relationship as comfortable and clear as possible. Counselling is not a rushing process; therapy requires commitment and patience, and collaboration is instrumental.

I am an Integrative Counsellor based in Falmouth, Cornwall.

Integrative Counselling is a holistic approach that combines various therapeutic techniques to cater for individual needs, promoting well-being and personal growth. By drawing on different modalities, it facilitates deeper self-awareness for clients to explore their feelings and experiences. I work with a Relational approach.

Counselling is a process focused on the person; it is your autonomy that is embraced and validated. I offer professional and personal experience and a deeper understanding to support you in learning, healing, and keep showing up. Together, we can share honest conversations about difficult subjects, where real changes happen.

I am Attachment and Trauma-informed. I provide you with a structured yet flexible approach, so you can implement sustainable changes in your life.

Welcome to our online couple counselling service in Falmouth, Cornwall.

I am dedicated to helping you and your partner strengthen your relationship. My experience provides a safe and supportive environment to explore your challenges and enhance communication. Together, we can work towards lasting solutions and renewed connections. We understand that navigating your behaviour and relationship dynamics can be challenging. Together, we'll explore what changes might be necessary to help 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.

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, 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 he impact of Narcissistic abuse leaves behind.

Discernment Counselling

Discernment counselling is an intervention to offer each partner the opportunity to clarify their needs, to help them make common decisions about their future.

Clinical Supervision:

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

ADH Affirming:

I am ADHD-informed and affirming through both personal and professional experiences. My focus is on those difficulties you are facing in your life, and the traumas associated with those challenges due to childhood adversities.

Life Coaching:

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

Walk and Talk Therapy:

I invite you to share your thoughts on the topic. Your feelings and insights are important, and I'm here to listen. 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.

If you are unsure whether therapy is right for you, I offer an intro call with no obligations over the phone or online to discuss your initial needs and see if we can work together.

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.
