Monika Zajac , BACP

Monika Zajac is an integrative counsellor who adapts her work to each person's needs by drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioural approaches. She combines these methods to create a tailored plan that responds to the challenges a client brings and the goals they want to achieve.

Born in Poland, Monika worked for several years as a high school teacher before relocating to England, and she has now lived in the United Kingdom for nearly 18 years. Her background in education informs her calm, developmental approach when working with adolescents and young people while also shaping her work with adults.

Monika is a qualified counsellor and a registered member of BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, which reflects her commitment to professional standards in the field. She has nine years of counselling experience working with clients across age ranges, including adults, young adults, and adolescents.

She has completed post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship, and she offers support for a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting, and more. Monika provides therapy in English and Polish and is accepting new clients, including those based internationally.

Client-centered and psychodynamic approaches in online therapy

Monika uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the individual is supported to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. This approach is helpful for building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem, and working through life transitions.

She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences and early relationships can influence current patterns of thinking and relating. This approach can be useful for understanding recurring emotional reactions, relationship difficulties, and long-standing behavioral patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Monika works together with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adapts her approach over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Monika is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
