About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor with nine years of practice and a BACP membership. She trained in counselling after a career teaching in Poland and brings those two perspectives into conversations. She speaks English and Polish and has built experience supporting people at different life stages. She offers a calm, listening presence and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.
Her background includes work with young people alongside adults, drawing on past teaching experience to shape how she explains things. She uses client-centred techniques that keep the person’s priorities front and centre. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence the present.
Monika tailors sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. In practice that means listening first, then trying ways of talking that suit the person. Sessions can focus on immediate coping, improving relationships, or understanding deeper feelings that repeat over time.
Her published focus areas include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, parenting and adoption and foster care matters. She also lists concerns such as ADHD, chronic illness, and relationship and career difficulties. This range reflects a readiness to address both day-to-day problems and longer-standing struggles.
People can expect a measured pace and clear language in sessions. Monika aims to help people find steps that fit their life, whether that means short-term coping strategies or a longer conversation about patterns and meaning.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. It encourages the counsellor to reflect what is said and help the person find their own answers, which can suit discussions about relationships, self-esteem, parenting and day-to-day stress.Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns and how earlier experiences shape current feelings and behaviours. This approach can help when someone wants to understand why certain reactions keep happening or to work through long-standing issues such as grief or attachment questions linked to adoption and foster care.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor and client will discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try ways of working that feel most useful. That collaborative process helps adjust the focus over time, whether that means short-term coping techniques or a longer exploration of patterns.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or longer check-ins depending on what fits the day. They can also support access when someone is living outside the counsellor's town or country, though practical arrangements should be confirmed in advance.
