Monika Zajac, BACP

Monika Zajac is a counsellor with nine years' experience who blends client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. She trained after moving to the UK from Poland and brings her earlier career as a high school teacher into her counselling work. Monika speaks English and Polish and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She works in a straightforward way and focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions tend to centre on listening, understanding patterns from the past, and building practical ways to manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Conversations are guided by the client’s needs rather than strict rules.

Monika has experience helping people cope with life changes, relationship strain, parenting concerns and career pressures. She also supports those dealing with trauma, chronic illness, compassion fatigue, ADHD and obsessive or panic symptoms. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care issues, immigration matters and end-of-life concerns.

Her client-centred work means the person’s own goals shape the sessions. Psychodynamic work looks at past experiences and how they affect current feelings and choices. Together these approaches help clients make sense of difficult patterns and try new ways of responding.

Monika completed post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship matters and uses her teaching background when meeting younger people. To start, readers should check session options and follow the site's booking steps to match with her.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, managing stress and working through life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and patterns. It helps people notice repeating patterns in relationships and emotions and consider different ways to respond. This can be useful for anxiety, unresolved grief and longstanding interpersonal issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Monika will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve and new issues come up.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy week and saving travel time. Online sessions may make it easier to schedule short check-ins or evening appointments, and they can help when quieter surroundings or less travel are needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online sessions to make therapy more manageable alongside everyday life.
