Monica Mendes
Hi, I’m Monica, and I offer integrative support through counselling, life coaching, and somatic resilience work, tailoring my approach to what you need. Sessions are 50 minutes and can be short-term or longer-term.
Counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and emotions more deeply. I work with people experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, grief, feeling stuck or disconnected, life transitions, and questions around meaning and purpose. Together, we process past experiences, understand patterns, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. You are the expert of your own life. My role is to listen, hold space, and reflect your wisdom back to you.
Life Coaching is for those with foundational self-awareness who need support with accountability, motivation, identifying next steps, and challenging limiting beliefs. We explore where you are now, clarify where you want to be, and create plans to bridge that gap. Sessions connect you with your purpose, uncover subconscious obstacles, and build empowering habits for lasting change.
Somatic Resilience: Sometimes the body holds what words alone cannot reach. This work focuses on the connection between your nervous system, your body, and your lived experience. Helping you gently process what may be stored as tension, stress, or trauma. We build your capacity to move out of survival responses and back into conscious decision-making and presence. Particularly supportive for anyone feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves, and who senses something is being held in the body.
I draw on humanistic, psycho-spiritual, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based methods.
Benefits include greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, clarity, improved relationships, and a kinder relationship with yourself.
Whether processing the past, focusing on forward momentum, or learning to regulate through the body, we work collaboratively to help you create a life you love.
Online and/or telephone appointments are available.
