Monia Di Marcantonio, BACP

Monia Di Marcantonio is a BACP-registered psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom who works with individuals and couples facing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, trauma, and a range of life transitions. She brings an integrative, person-centered approach that blends evidence-based techniques with attention to the mind-body connection, reflecting a belief that healing involves both understanding thoughts and feeling safe enough to reconnect with oneself and others.

With four years of clinical experience, Monia explores how earlier experiences and relational patterns may continue to influence current emotions, behaviour, and connections. This exploration is intended to illuminate those patterns rather than to dwell on the past, so clients can begin to loosen their grip and make different choices in the present.

She offers a calm, attuned space for slowing down, being heard, and making sense of what lies beneath the surface, whether working individually or with a partner. Monia is known for bringing warmth, presence, and genuine care to the therapeutic relationship, inviting people to show up as they are without pressure or filters. Monia is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and provides therapy in both English and Italian, while accepting international clients.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Monia draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered principles to support people in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and when life feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often helping with mood difficulties, anxiety, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-directive therapeutic relationship where the therapist provides empathy and presence to help people discover their own solutions and strengthen inner resources.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Monia works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means approaches can be combined and adapted over time as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible, allowing people to engage from different locations and fit sessions into busy schedules. These options can support continuity of care during life transitions and help clients maintain momentum between appointments.
