Moneaque Teape, BACP

Moneaque Teape is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and feelings of low self-worth. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, addiction and the challenges that come with big life changes. She works with clients who are managing sleep or eating problems and those coping with parenting pressures or career uncertainty.

Moneaque describes her practice as integrative, which means she draws on different therapy approaches to suit each person. She aims to create a calming space where people can speak openly about what is worrying them. Her approach is straightforward and practical, focused on small steps that lead to clearer thinking and less overwhelm.

She is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. That means she works within the association's ethical guidelines. Moneaque has nine years' experience supporting people through change and recovery.

Sessions are framed around what the individual wants to achieve, with time spent identifying practical coping strategies and ways to shift recurring patterns. She uses talking, reflective listening and goal-focused work to help people restore a sense of direction.

If someone is unsure whether to try counselling, she encourages an initial step and offers guidance on how to begin. The practical nature of her work aims to help people feel steadier and more able to move forward.

How Moneaque blends approaches for online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own pace of change. It helps when someone needs acceptance, space to talk and a therapist who follows their concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and building practical coping skills. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and can be helpful with addictions or when someone is feeling stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things move forward.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone's schedule. It can also help people try different ways of working from wherever they are, while keeping the focus on practical changes and steady progress.
