Monina Doubble, BACP, NCPS

Monina Doubble is a counsellor who focuses on midlife change, stress and anxiety. She works with people facing relationship strain, family tensions, depression and shifts in career or identity. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward space to talk about what feels overwhelming and figure out practical next steps.

She treats people as the experts on their own lives. Sessions aim to draw out strengths and build small habits that make day-to-day life easier. Monina uses a mix of approaches so conversations can be shaped around each person's needs rather than a single method.

With nine years of professional experience, Monina blends psychodynamic ideas, cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices. That combination helps with understanding patterns from the past, changing unhelpful thoughts, and developing present-moment skills to manage stress or sleeping difficulties.

Her work also covers grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains and issues around identity including LGBT concerns. She will help people who face chronic illness, caregiving pressure, or challenges such as low self-esteem and communication problems to find clearer ways forward.

Monina holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She accepts international clients and runs sessions from the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a session according to the therapist's schedule.

Approaches you can use online with a counsellor

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps towards them. It helps when people feel stuck by worry, career change or the uncertainty common in midlife. Client-Centred Therapy centres conversations around the person's experience, offering empathy and support so they can find their own solutions. This approach is useful for processing emotions like grief or relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses focused exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of starting work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then choose methods together. This means sessions can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

For practical online benefits, many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, for example during a lunch break or after childcare. Online work can make it quicker to try a first appointment without travel, and allows people to work with a therapist based in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what will best suit your routine.
