Monika Zajac, BACP

Monika Zajac is an integrative counsellor who blends client-centered and psychodynamic approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. With 9 years of professional experience, she works with adolescents, young adults and adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, career issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her practice also covers a wide range of related issues including abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and disability, divorce and separation, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

Born and trained initially as a high school teacher in Poland, Monika brings that educational background into her therapeutic work, often supporting young people and families with sensitivity to developmental and school-related concerns. After relocating to England, she completed formal counselling training and now combines her classroom experience with clinical skills to support adolescents and adults through life transitions and emotional difficulties.

Monika is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She has also completed post-qualifying training to work with adoption and special guardianship cases. Monika offers therapy in English and Polish and is available to work with clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients via online and phone-based formats.

Client-Centered and Psychodynamic Approaches for Online Support

Monika draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where clients lead the conversation and explore their own goals. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening and the individual's capacity for growth, and it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, coping with life changes and improving relationships.

She also uses psychodynamic therapy to help people understand how past experiences, early relationships and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and behaviors. This work can be useful for addressing trauma, recurring relationship difficulties and deep-seated emotional patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Monika works with clients to identify what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Monika is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, helping clients maintain momentum in their therapeutic work while fitting sessions into busy lives.
