Monika Zajac , BACP

Monika Zajac is an integrative counsellor who tailors her work by drawing on person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural methods to meet each client’s needs. Born and initially trained as a high school teacher in Poland, she relocated to England where she completed professional training in counselling and built a practice supporting young people and adults.

With nine years of counselling experience, Monika combines educational insight and therapeutic training to work effectively with adolescents, young adults and adults. She has undertaken post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship cases and brings focused experience in areas such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, parenting, and life transitions.

Monika is a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers a compassionate, adaptable approach informed by her background in education and long-term residence in the UK, and she accepts international clients who seek therapy in English or Polish.

Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Support Available Online

Client-Centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. It is often helpful for concerns involving self-esteem, life changes, relationship issues and general coping skills.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, unconscious patterns and early relationships can influence current emotions and behaviour. This approach can be useful when someone wants to gain deeper understanding of long-standing patterns, emotional conflicts or responses to trauma and loss.

Monika approaches treatment as a collaborative process and will work with each person to identify which methods or combination of methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the work and may evolve over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to arrange care around school, work or family commitments. For many people, remote sessions improve access to consistent support and allow therapy to continue across locations and life transitions.
