About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.
Monika trained in counselling after moving to the United Kingdom from Poland, and she previously worked as a high school teacher. That background means she often understands pressures around education, early careers and family expectations. She also has extra training related to adoption and special guardianship.
Her day-to-day approach draws on client-centred ideas that focus on the person in the room. That involves listening carefully and helping people talk through what matters most to them. Psychodynamic work is also part of her practice and looks at how past patterns can affect current feelings and relationships.
In a typical conversation she helps people name what is most difficult, try out new ways of thinking, and reflect on recurring patterns. She offers straightforward, conversational sessions rather than technical jargon. Practical concerns like school, work stress, identity, parenting, grief and chronic health issues are all within her remit.
Monika accepts international clients and works with people experiencing a wide range of challenges including ADHD, panic, grief, and compassion fatigue. If English or Polish is needed she can carry out sessions in either language. To begin, clients use the site matching process and then schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. Online sessions give space to speak about pressures such as leaving home, starting work, study stress and relationship problems in an open, conversational way. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings. Online conversations can help surface those patterns and make them easier to spot and talk about.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monika will discuss the methods she uses and will help you agree what to try first based on your goals and preferences. That process is collaborative - you and the counsellor decide together what feels most helpful and adjust as you go.
The practical benefits of online sessions are mainly about fitting therapy into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around study, shifts or commute times and to avoid travel time. If you need different arrangements for a shorter check-in or a quieter conversation, confirm the exact session options before booking so they match your routine.
