About Zuzanna
Zuzanna Horowska is a counsellor with four years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and offers a relational, humanistic approach that aims to help people understand how their past affects current relationships and day-to-day life. Zuzanna pays attention to feelings, thinking and bodily experience when clients talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem and life changes.
In sessions she emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the basis for change. She listens for unconscious patterns and how those patterns show up in behaviour and relationships. This helps people spot repeated ways of relating and make practical changes to feel safer and more connected. Sessions may include talking, creative exercises and simple tasks to try between meetings.
Zuzanna uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas, object-relations and transactional analysis alongside Gestalt and some body-focused exercises. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and practices Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate.
She has experience supporting people affected by cancer, trauma and abuse, panic attacks, addiction, work-related difficulties and caregiving stress. This background includes roles at Macmillan Cancer Support and charities offering NHS IAPT and substance-use counselling.
Zuzanna aims to help people communicate feelings more clearly, reduce overwhelming anxiety, and build confidence. To begin, clients are invited to describe their concerns and set practical goals they can work on together.
How EMDR and relational work translate to online therapy
EMDR is a method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional hold. It often involves focusing on a memory while attending to guided bilateral stimulation, and can be used for trauma, panic and lingering distress after upsetting events.Relational, psychodynamic and Gestalt-informed work focuses on how past patterns shape present relationships and feelings. This kind of approach uses careful listening, noticing bodily sensations and reflecting on recurring interactions to help people try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide whether EMDR, a relational focus or some CBT-informed techniques suit their goals and needs. That choice is reviewed as sessions progress and adjusted when needed.
Confirm the available online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care when work or life routines are changing.
