About Monika
Monika uses a mix of client-centred and psychodynamic approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. She listens for what matters most to the client, and she helps people make sense of past and current patterns. Conversations are paced to suit the person - some prefer practical strategies, others a deeper look at feelings and history.
She often supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as those dealing with trauma and compassion fatigue. Monika also helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, parenting pressures, career questions, and life changes. Additional focus areas include ADHD, chronic illness, adoption and foster care matters, immigration issues and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and international clients can be seen. Monika offers a calm, steady presence and aims to create a space where a person can talk through difficult feelings and explore options for change.
Practical steps to begin include completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit the person’s schedule. Monika works with video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to make counselling accessible.

How Monika’s approaches adapt to online counselling
Monika uses client-centred work to focus on what each person needs in the moment. This approach emphasises empathic listening and helping the client lead the pace, which suits people wanting support with stress, anxiety, self-esteem and day-to-day coping.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people understand recurring patterns and how past experiences shape feelings today. This can be helpful for those facing grief, relationship issues, trauma reactions or difficulties rooted in early life events.
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Monika will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. If something does not help, she will adjust the way sessions are organised so the person gets the support they need.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to arrange regular sessions across different time zones and schedules, while keeping therapy practical and flexible.
