Monika Zajac, BACP

Monika Zajac is a counsellor who moved from Poland to the United Kingdom and has built a nine-year practice. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she uses to guide her professional work. Monika blends different ways of working to meet the needs of the person in front of her. She speaks English and Polish and sees both young people and adults.

Monika draws on her earlier career as a high school teacher when supporting adolescents. She has also completed post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship situations. This background means she is used to helping people manage changes in family life and parenting challenges.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy, with flexibility to use elements that fit the person. Sessions focus on thoughts and everyday habits as well as emotions. The work often looks at how past experiences shape current patterns and what small changes might help day-to-day life.

People come to Monika with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship or family problems, career questions and compassion fatigue. Monika pays attention to patterns like avoidance, panic, intrusive thoughts and difficulty communicating.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice small shifts that make life easier. If you want to explore whether her way of working fits you, use the site process to connect and set up an initial session.

How Monika's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and offering non-judgemental support. It helps people who need a listening space to clarify feelings, improve self-esteem and make decisions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from earlier relationships and experiences. It can help when recurring emotions, relationship difficulties or unhelpful habits keep returning without clear reasons.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monika will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between commitments. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking to see what fits your routine. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors who use these approaches, often find online work helps maintain continuity of care and keeps momentum between sessions.
