About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She sees people for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, coping with life changes, and related concerns including ADHD and panic attacks. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she accepts international clients.
Monika trained after moving from Poland to the UK and previously worked as a high school teacher. That classroom background informs how she relates to young people and young adults. She has completed post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship situations and often draws on those skills when supporting clients with adoption, foster care and family-related issues.
Her practice blends client-centred work with psychodynamic ideas. She focuses on listening closely, helping people talk through difficult feelings, and looking at patterns that repeat in relationships. Practical topics such as managing panic, obsessive thoughts, or coping with chronic illness are part of the work she offers.
Monika also addresses topics like relationships, parenting strain, career pressures, immigration issues, guilt and shame, and end-of-life concerns. She uses straightforward conversation, reflective questions, and attention to personal history to help clients understand their responses and options.
People can expect short, direct sessions that aim to make everyday life easier to manage. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Monika’s language skills and background can be helpful for people who prefer to work in Polish or English.
How Monika uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want support exploring feelings and building self-understanding.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from the past that affect current relationships and reactions. It can help when similar conflicts keep repeating or when early experiences shape present-day anxiety and panic responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Monika will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the style over time in collaboration with the client.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people choose whether to use video or an alternative that suits their day-to-day routine. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting; Monika will outline practical options when arranging the first appointment.
