Monika Bassani Counselling and Clinical Supervision – Online Services

Portrait of Monika Bassani, Counseller and Supervisor

 Hello and a warm welcome.

 

I am Integrative Counsellor with an inclination to Psychodynamic approach. I have over a decade of experience working with adults, individuals and couples from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Working with mental health conditions, such as anxiety, ADHD, or addictions I am not so interested in the formal diagnosis as such. My focus is on those difficulties you are facing in your life and the traumas animated in those challenges. It is my humble privilege to help you make sense of your life story. 

 

The Integrative modality combines different forms of psychotherapy tailored to your individual needs, including emotional, cognitive, and relational aspects. Counselling provides you with the foundational work to build your self awareness and confidence, it provides a structured yet flexible approach to believe that you can implement coherent, sustainable changes in your life. 

 

My own personal experience and professional training is what offers me deeper understanding, I believe in human connection and the transformative potential of therapy, for you to live your emotional truths. I use directiveness and creativity, supporting you through opportunities for learning, growth and  fortitude, safe from judgement and criticism.

 

​I welcome Gender, Sexual and Relationship Diversity. Everyone is unique. I will be working with you at your own pace, counselling is not a rushing process. Therapy requires commitment, patience and goals.

 

I offer guidance, is YOU that direct your pathway, the collaboration is instrumental.

 

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