About Monika
Monika Zajac is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She began her career as a high-school teacher in Poland before training in counselling, and she now works with adults, young adults and adolescents on a range of issues. Areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, relationships, parenting and anger.
Monika draws on client-centred and psychodynamic approaches in her work. She keeps the conversation focused and straightforward, helping people talk through what causes their strong reactions and where those patterns come from. Sessions aim to recognise how past experiences shape current responses and to develop clearer ways to manage feelings such as anger and shame.
Her background as a teacher informs a practical style when working with adolescents and young adults. She also has post-qualifying training to support people involved with adoption and special guardianship. That experience contributes to how she helps clients untangle family and attachment issues.
Monika offers therapy in English and Polish and accepts international clients. She describes therapy as a collaborative process that looks at both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. People can expect steady conversations about triggers, personal history and concrete strategies to handle intense feelings.
She uses a subscription payment model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the platform.
How sessions work
How Monika uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows what matters to the person, which helps people clarify their feelings and decide on next steps. This approach is useful for emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem and relationship frustrations.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences shape current reactions. It helps identify repeated patterns that turn up in work, parenting or close relationships and offers a different lens on why anger or avoidance happens.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Monika will discuss the goals and suggest ways of working that suit the client’s needs and preferences. That decision is made together, so practical tasks and deeper reflection can be balanced as required.
The practical benefits of using online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and reducing travel time. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available session types before booking. Online conversations can focus on immediate coping strategies, noticing triggers, and plan-making for handling intense feelings without promising any particular service.
