Moss pole would be your best bet. I Grow mine on bamboo so It would be Fine how you have it but if you want it to grow just one Way thats up… moss pole for sure. On youtube A guy called ”SydneyPlantGuy” shows how to make your own moss pole.

Would a wooden trellis work well?

A wooden trellis would help it to grow up, but a moss pole would allow your Monstera to take root into the Moss Pole. The leaves will grow bigger and healthier.

That pot looks a bit small for her! I feel like it’ll get pretty top heavy and maybe fall. My monstera loves a terracotta pot because it helps absorb some moisture as they’re prone to root rot. Also, a layer of Earthworm Castings on the top layer of the soil is awesome for them and also prevents root rot

Oh okay thank you, I recently repotted her so should I wait a bit before sizing up or just as soon as i can?

If you recently repotted her I would wait at least 6 months before trying again
