About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor with nine years' experience who trained in the United Kingdom after moving from Poland. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Monika draws on her background as a former high school teacher to connect with young people and adults.
She offers sessions in English and Polish and works with clients facing a wide range of life challenges, including LGBT concerns and grief.
Background and approach
Monika uses a flexible, person-focussed style in sessions. She listens first and tailors the time together to what matters most to the client. People often come to her for help with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting worries, and coping with major life changes.
Her training includes psychodynamic ideas that look at patterns from the past to understand current feelings. Monika also practises client-centred methods that prioritise the client’s perspective and pace. She mixes approaches depending on the issue and the person sitting in front of her.
Monika has particular experience supporting people with adoption and special guardianship concerns, and she brings practical experience from her earlier teaching career into therapeutic work. She also works with issues such as trauma, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions can be arranged through an online matching process where clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

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.
How her approaches translate to online work
Monika uses client-centred work that focuses on the person in front of her. That approach means sessions follow the client’s pace and priorities, helping with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship worries, and coping with change. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring patterns and past experiences to make sense of current reactions, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and long-standing relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monika will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, offer a shorter commute, and allow for more flexible scheduling around work or family commitments. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings or avoid being on camera when they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you on how to get started and what to expect for your particular situation.
