About Monika

Monika Zajac is a counsellor who blends long experience in education with nine years of therapeutic practice. She trained in counselling after moving to the United Kingdom from Poland and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Monika works with adults, young adults and adolescents and speaks English and Polish.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression through straightforward, practical conversations. Monika also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes such as separation and divorce. Her approach is warm and patient, aimed at helping people make sense of difficult feelings and find manageable steps forward.

Monika uses client-centred methods to focus on the person’s experience and psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns in relationships and emotions. She tailors sessions to the individual rather than applying a single formula. This mix can be useful for people wanting both immediate coping tools and a deeper look at long-standing issues.

Her background as a high school teacher informs how she explains things plainly and works with younger people. Monika has completed extra post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship issues and also offers help around parenting and family-related concerns.

Sessions are carried out within the framework described by the therapist and fit around each person’s needs. Before booking, clients should check current session options and scheduling details.

How Monika’s approaches work online

Monika uses client-centred work to place the person’s current experience at the heart of sessions. This means most sessions begin by listening closely to what matters now and building practical steps together to reduce immediate distress.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people notice recurring themes in relationships and emotions. That approach can help when someone wants to understand patterns that repeat over time, such as reactions to separation or long-standing anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monika will talk with each person about what they want from therapy and shape sessions around their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether more short-term coping strategies or deeper exploration will be best.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work can also make it simpler to keep regular check-ins during stressful periods or when juggling school or work. Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking so you know how appointments will be delivered.
