About Monika
Monika Zajac is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of counselling experience. She trained after moving from Poland and has combined previous work as a high school teacher with counselling practice. She works with adults, young adults and adolescents and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationships and anger.
Her background as a teacher informs how she talks with people. She uses practical conversation to help clients sort through day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, practising different responses and building clearer thinking around difficult situations.
Monika draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy when working with people. Client-Centred Therapy means she places the person at the centre of discussions and listens for what matters most to them. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at past experiences and recurring patterns that affect current behaviour.
She has undertaken post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship issues. That training complements work with related matters such as abandonment, family problems and parenting concerns. Monika also lists areas including trauma and abuse, ADHD, chronic illness, and grief among her focuses.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish. International clients are accepted. Practical steps for beginning - using the site's matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session - are part of how she recommends people start therapy.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the core of sessions. It relies on careful listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. This approach is useful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns because it helps people name and clarify their priorities.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current patterns. It helps uncover repeated responses and emotional triggers that contribute to anger, grief or anxiety. Sessions can support people who want to understand why they react the way they do.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Monika will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and help decide which way of working feels most helpful. The fit between the person and the approach is reviewed as therapy progresses so adjustments can be made.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to talk without being on camera or who need a quieter arrangement that fits with work or family commitments.
