The philosophy of “Seeing Inwards” empathizes the significance of reflecting and looking towards thoughts, feelings, experiences and behaviours to learn more about ourselves, our obstacles and how to best move forward. Monica believes that big journey’s start with small steps, thus, a collaborative and authentic relationship is important for therapeutic success.
Over the years, Monica has developed an approach that is client-centred using diverse scientific, theoretical and practical applications to overcome obstacles. Monica takes this technique and adapts it to meet the client’s needs and desirable outcomes.
