Mrs Monica Hurn

Specialist Wellness Counselor

“I am patient and open-minded and will listen to your concerns, identify underlying patterns and enhance self-awareness. Together we will navigate challenges to achieve holistic well-being.”

About Me

I offer a patient and open-minded space where your concerns are truly heard. My aim is to help you identify underlying patterns, which is key to enhancing your self-awareness. We'll work together, navigating challenges collaboratively, to foster a sense of holistic well-being. This approach is ideal if you're looking to deeply understand yourself and find a clearer path forward.

Approach

A calm, curious listening guides how we move through each session, gently unpicking patterns and moments that matter. In my online English sessions, the pace is set to your readiness — sometimes reflective and slow for grief, other times more active for anger or relationship tensions — with clear, practical steps we might try between sessions. I keep focus on what helps you notice shifts and build steady coping, which many find useful during major transitions or periods of burnout.
