About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor who draws on nearly a decade of professional practice in the UK. She trained after moving from Poland and combines her earlier work as a high school teacher with counselling skills. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and speaks English and Polish.
Monika offers a calm, patient approach. She typically listens first to understand a person's history and what matters most to them.
Background and approach
She then uses client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of feelings and patterns that cause distress. She helps with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Monika also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, life changes and career stress.
Other areas she works on include ADHD, relationship issues, parenting questions, and compassion fatigue. Her background as a teacher informs how she talks with young adults and adolescents, although she also works with adults. She has undertaken post-qualifying training related to adoption and special guardianship and applies that learning when relevant to a person's story.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Monika focuses on building trust, naming difficult feelings, and spotting recurring patterns. She helps people develop clearer choices and ways to cope with everyday challenges.

Online support
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that may come from earlier life events. It helps people notice how past experiences influence current reactions and choices, which can be useful for issues like grief, repeating relationship problems, or longstanding anxiety.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. Monika will talk with each person about their needs and goals and then suggest whether a client-centred focus, psychodynamic exploration, or a mix of both could help most. The decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
