Monia Di Marcantonio, BACP

Monia Di Marcantonio is a BACP registered psychotherapist who works with individuals and couples facing anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationship challenges and other life stresses. She blends structured, evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a holistic, body-aware perspective, believing that change involves both thoughts and felt experience rather than only intellectual understanding.

Her practice is integrative and relational, gently exploring how earlier experiences and attachment patterns can continue to shape emotions, behaviours and connections today. This exploration is offered not to relive pain but to increase insight and loosen the hold of old patterns, allowing clients to reconnect with themselves and with others in more helpful ways.

Monia brings warmth, presence and genuine care to sessions, creating a space where people can slow down, be heard and begin to make sense of what lies beneath the surface. Therapy with her is presented as a collaborative process focused on understanding, building inner resources and moving toward meaningful, lasting change rather than a quick fix.

She works in English and Italian and accepts international clients. BACP indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What to Expect

Monia commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns to relieve symptoms like anxiety and low mood and to support practical coping strategies. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values, which can help with avoidance, stress and life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, nonjudgmental listening and the therapeutic relationship to help people feel heard and to explore their experience more deeply.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Monia works collaboratively with each client to clarify goals, preferences and needs, and adapts methods over time so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Monia can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals while balancing work, family and other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person sessions are not possible.
