About Monika

Monika Zajac is a BACP counsellor who brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. She trained in counselling after moving from Poland to the United Kingdom and blends her background as a former high school teacher with therapeutic practice. Monika works with adults, young adults and adolescents and speaks English and Polish.

Monika uses a person-centred approach to build a calm, respectful space where people can speak honestly about what troubles them. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-running patterns and how early relationships affect current feelings. Sessions aim to be straightforward and rooted in the person’s life.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue and life changes. Other areas Monika addresses include self-esteem, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns, ADHD and work-related issues. Narcissism and patterns linked to abandonment or adoption are also listed among her additional focus areas.

Monika has undertaken post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship, and she combines this with her teaching experience when supporting adolescents. Her approach is flexible and adapted to each person’s needs rather than one-size-fits-all.

People who come to her can expect a conversational style that aims to make sense of feelings and behaviour. She encourages practical steps alongside reflective work, so changes feel useful in everyday life.

How Monika’s approaches translate to online work

Monika uses person-centred work and psychodynamic thinking in her practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person lead the conversation; it is useful for stress, low mood and building confidence. Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and how earlier relationships shape current reactions; it can help when the same issues keep returning and feel rooted in the past.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try methods that suit the person’s needs. This collaborative process makes it easier to adapt the work over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it simpler to maintain regular contact and to schedule shorter check-ins when needed. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking so they match your routine and technical needs.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
