About Monika
Monika Zajac is a counsellor with nine years' experience who draws on life and professional experience to guide sessions. She trained after moving to the United Kingdom from Poland, and combines her earlier work as a high school teacher with counselling practice. Monika is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults, young adults and adolescents and supports a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety and panic disorder and panic attacks.
Monika uses a mix of client-centred and psychodynamic approaches to suit each person. In practice this means she starts by listening closely and following what matters most to the client. Over time she helps people notice patterns from the past that affect how they feel and behave now. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical while also allowing space to reflect.
Her background as a teacher shapes how she speaks with younger clients and parents. She often helps with issues around school, transitions and parenting strain. She has also completed post-qualifying training related to adoption and special guardianship and draws on that experience when it is relevant.
Monika offers support for many concerns such as grief, trauma, relationship problems, ADHD and compulsive behaviours. She speaks English and Polish and is open to working with international clients. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location and therapist availability.

How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the client says. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to clarify their own goals. This approach can help when someone is dealing with anxiety, panic attacks or relationship strains by making it easier to talk about what matters most.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences can shape present feelings and reactions. It helps people notice repeating patterns and unresolved issues that underlie stress, grief or compulsive behaviours. For many this deeper perspective supports longer-term change alongside practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will suggest ways of working based on your needs, goals and preferences, and will adapt methods over time if something is not helpful. This is a collaborative process where your feedback helps shape sessions.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also make it simpler to work with a therapist who speaks your language or who accepts clients in different countries.
