Monika Balazova
Psychotherapist
Background and Training:
Monika is a qualified therapist, holding a First Class Honours degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy from IICP College in Dublin. She is a pre-accredited member of the IACP.
Monika works with a wide range of issues, including:
Anxiety,
Depression
Stress
Bereavement and Loss
Relationship difficulties
Life transitions
At the heart of her work is a deep interest in trauma and attachment — and how our early experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others, including patterns that can contribute to anxious–avoidant dynamics or co-dependent relationships.
Monika is passionate about supporting people to reconnect with their sense of self, build healthy self-worth and confidence, and develop the strength to set clear, meaningful boundaries. She works collaboratively with clients to explore patterns that may be keeping them stuck and facilitates work towards more fulfilling, balanced relationships.
Additional Training and areas of interest:
Monika also holds a diploma in Bio Energy Healing, which has deepened her understanding of the connection between emotional experiences and the body. This perspective allows her to consider how trauma and unresolved emotions may be held physically, offering a more holistic awareness of the links between emotional wellbeing, somatic symptoms, and overall health.
Monika adapts her approach to suit each client’s individual needs. At the core of her practice is a humanistic approach, which she combines with other therapeutic models. She is particularly passionate about using a psychodynamic approach, as believes people can benefit from understanding patterns and behaviours they may not always be aware of. Monika supports clients in exploring the deeper influences behind their thoughts and actions, and in recognising maladaptive coping patterns that may no longer be helpful in their lives.
Monika is currently working morning and early afternoon sessions only. If interested in booking a session with Monika please complete the form here.
