Monika Zajac is a counsellor with nine years of professional experience. She trained in the United Kingdom after moving from Poland and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Monika speaks English and Polish and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions.

She draws on client-centred and psychodynamic approaches to shape her work. That means she pays close attention to what each person brings and looks at how past experiences can influence current feelings and choices.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and focused, with space to notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Monika has background supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She also works on self-esteem, life changes, relationship strain, parenting concerns, career questions and challenges linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care issues, communication problems, chronic illness, obsessions and panic attacks. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients. Monika offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Fees vary with location and are charged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Monika aims to create a steady, collaborative space where people can talk through difficult moments and build workable coping strategies.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience in the here and now. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and struggles with self-esteem.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early experiences and recurring patterns shape current feelings and relationships. It helps uncover hidden themes that keep causing distress and supports people who want to understand why they react in certain ways.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Monika will discuss what feels most useful and adapt her way of working to match the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is made together, with room to adjust as therapy progresses.

Online therapy makes those approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, ongoing support between sessions or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
