About Monika

Monika Zajac is a counsellor who trained after moving from Poland to the United Kingdom. She brings nine years of counselling experience and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Monika speaks English and Polish and combines her earlier work in education with therapeutic practice to help people find steady ground.

She sees people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with life changes, relationship issues, parenting strain, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, panic, obsessive thoughts and concerns linked to adoption and foster care. Her counselling draws mainly on client-centred and psychodynamic work.

That means she listens closely, follows the person’s pace, and looks at how past experiences might shape present difficulties. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and on building clearer ways to cope. Monika adapts her style to each person, using gentle questioning and reflection rather than one-size-fits-all techniques.

She is used to working with young people and adults, and often brings insights from her previous teaching career when helping adolescents and parents. Practical support is part of the work. Conversations aim to identify small, doable steps that fit daily life.

Where helpful, she explores emotions, recurring relationship patterns and decisions about the future.

How Monika’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the person’s own experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps the person find their own solutions. This method helps with anxiety, stress, self-esteem and decisions about life changes.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences and repeating patterns shape current feelings and actions. It can be useful for understanding relationship struggles, grief and long-standing emotional difficulties by bringing those patterns into clear view.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monika will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which ideas to try first. Plans are flexible and reviewed as things change.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful when visual connection matters, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, study or family commitments.
