About me
My name is Monika Zając, and I’m originally from Poland. Before leaving my country, I completed my studies in Ethnology and Social Anthropology, driven by curiosity about people, their stories, and how culture and family shape who we become. This knowledge of human behaviour and relationships continues to inform my work as a therapist, allowing me to approach each person with empathy and a broader perspective.
After finishing my studies, I decided to take a step into the unknown – travelling, exploring different cultures, and seeking personal growth. At 25, I travelled solo from Mexico to Peru, discovering not only beautiful places and inspiring people but also moments of solitude that encouraged deep self-reflection. Eventually, I made Barcelona my home, creating a space where I could heal, grow, and reconnect with myself.
Nature and animals have always been my refuge – a source of calm, balance, and inner nourishment.
My ongoing personal healing journey continues to shape me as a therapist. It has taught me presence, compassion, and emotional availability – qualities I bring into my work to support others on their paths of self-discovery and transformation.
Today, I combine my personal experience with professional training in:
Trauma Reprocessing and Integration (Aleceia Method)
Systemic Therapy and Family Constellations
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises)

Approach
My approach is integrative and holistic, addressing mind, body, and spirit. I combine trauma therapy, systemic approaches, and somatic practices to help you understand how past experiences influence your emotions, behaviours, and relationships today.
In our work together, we explore the parts of you that have developed ways to survive challenging experiences. These parts may show up as patterns, triggers, or habits that feel unhelpful now. They do not define who you are; they are simply expressing a part of your story. By connecting with these parts from the present moment — safely and with support — you can bring understanding, healing, and integration to your whole self.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, recognise patterns, and reconnect with your inner strength. Together, we work to:
Recognise and shift patterns that may be limiting your growth
Develop emotional regulation and resilience in challenging situations
Build self-confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and make empowered choices
Integrate mind, body, and somatic awareness to support overall well-being
Personal growth requires both reflection and action. I encourage curiosity, self-compassion, and active engagement in your healing journey. My own experiences and training allow me to provide insight, empathy, and practical tools to guide you towards meaningful change.
Every person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to your needs, pace, and goals. My aim is to help you create lasting change, understand yourself more deeply, and reconnect with your authentic self.
