About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has nine years of counselling experience and works with adults, young adults and adolescents on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and self-esteem.
She trained in counselling after moving to the UK from Poland, where she worked as a high school teacher. That early teaching experience shapes how she explains ideas and structures sessions with younger clients.
Monika practises mainly from client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. In session she focuses on listening, helping people make sense of feelings, and looking at how past experiences affect current reactions. She uses straightforward language and keeps sessions practical.
Her work includes many concerns: depression, relationship and family problems, parenting and adoption-related issues, anger, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, panic and obsessive-compulsive tendencies. She also supports people facing immigration matters, chronic illness, end-of-life issues and questions of life purpose.
Sessions are conducted in English and Polish. Monika accepts international clients. Her BACP membership is shown as BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

How her client-centred and psychodynamic work transfers to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and supports the client to make their own choices. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, stress and relationship concerns.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and early life. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and how earlier events affect current reactions. This can be helpful for trauma, grief and recurring emotional difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Monika will work with the client to decide which ways of working suit their needs, goals and preferences. That can mean focusing on immediate coping skills or spending more time on deeper patterns depending on what the person wants.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and study, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care for people living abroad or in different parts of the UK.
