About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years' practice in the UK. She works with adults, young adults and adolescents on concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting and issues linked to adoption and foster care.
She trained in counselling after moving from Poland to the UK and draws on earlier experience as a high school teacher. That background informs how she talks with people about family life, school-related pressures and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and Polish.
Her main ways of working include Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy, and she adapts conversations to the person in front of her. In practice this means helping people tell their story, identify repeating patterns and name what they want to change at home or work.
Monika commonly supports people managing trauma, anger, depression, burnout and attention-related difficulties. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, immigration concerns and end-of-life matters. Her approach tends to be practical and conversational rather than highly technical.
People who come to her often need help coping with life transitions, improving communication, or facing painful past experiences. To start, she asks about current struggles, background and what a better week might look like. This frames the early sessions and helps plan the next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. It suits people who need space to make sense of feelings, work through family stress or decide next steps in parenting and relationships.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences influence current patterns. It can help when repeating behaviours or long-standing family dynamics cause repeated conflict or distress.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Monika will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which approach or mix of approaches to use. That collaboration guides how sessions are shaped over the first few meetings.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people take part from different locations, which can help maintain continuity during life changes.
