About Monique
Monique Noonan is an Accredited Social Worker (AASW) who supports adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She creates a calm, respectful space and focuses on what each person needs right now. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.
Monique uses somatic approaches alongside practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how feelings show up in the body and combines that awareness with simple, actionable skills. The focus is on small, realistic changes that fit into everyday life. Her style is client-centred and trauma-informed.
Sessions move at a person’s own pace and follow their values and goals. Monique also draws on attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns in relationships and make different choices where needed. With three years of experience, Monique blends personal understanding with evidence-informed methods.
She works collaboratively and invites curiosity and honesty in the room. The aim is to help people build resilience and find ways to live that feel more authentic. Monique offers sessions in English and works with remote formats when appropriate.
She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to start with what feels manageable and to take the next step when ready.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Somatic-informed therapy pays attention to physical sensations and movement as part of emotional healing. Online sessions can include breathing, grounding and gentle movement exercises that help people notice how stress shows up in the body and practice new responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action that matches those values. In online sessions, this often looks like simple experiments and behavioural steps you can try between meetings to see what helps in daily life.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. The work online can help clients recognise these patterns and try different ways of relating in their real-world interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits your needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as you go. You remain involved in choosing what feels most useful.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to continue work during life changes, to practise skills in real time and to access therapy without travel.
