About Monika
Monika Zajac is a BACP counsellor who brings nine years of experience to her practice. She trained after moving to the United Kingdom from Poland and combines her background as a former high school teacher with counselling skills. She offers sessions in English and Polish and accepts international clients.
Monika works with adults, young adults and adolescents and helps people who are coping with common life stresses and emotional challenges.
Background and approach
Monika focuses on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger, and relationship or family difficulties. Additional areas she supports include parenting concerns, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach draws mainly on client-centred therapy and psychodynamic therapy. In practice she listens closely, reflects what clients say, and helps uncover patterns that affect wellbeing. This can make painful experiences easier to understand and manage over time.
Monika often uses her teaching background when working with young people and adolescents, helping them find practical ways to cope and communicate. She completed post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship cases, and she integrates that knowledge into relevant sessions. People choosing Monika can expect a calm, patient style and straightforward guidance.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, so people can pick the format that suits their schedule and needs.

Approaches Monika lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns and history that shape current feelings and reactions. The counsellor helps identify repeating themes and underlying emotions so people can make different choices in daily life. This can be useful for grief, trauma-related issues and recurring relationship difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Monika will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she adapts her style as therapy progresses. People often try one way of working and adjust it as they learn more about what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging works for people who prefer written reflection. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family commitments and to continue therapy when travel is difficult.
