Zuzanna Horowska

Zuzanna Horowska is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns and coping with life changes. Zuzanna also lists life purpose among her areas of focus and helps people who feel stuck or unsure what comes next.

Zuzanna uses an integrative humanistic approach. She pays attention to unconscious processes and notices what is held in the body. Thinking, sensing, intuiting and feeling are all important in her way of working. She describes the relationship between counsellor and client as central to how change happens.

Her background includes psychodynamic thinking, object relations and transactional analysis. She brings in Gestalt ideas and uses some body-based exercises when they may help. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is one of the clinical approaches she uses for trauma-related work.

Zuzanna can use elements of cognitive behavioural techniques where appropriate. She often combines talking work with practical tools or simple homework to help people test new ways of relating and coping. She has worked with a wide range of life events, including illness, separation and major change.

Her experience includes roles with Macmillan Cancer Support and charities offering counselling in NHS IAPT contexts and for people affected by substance use. This has informed her work with people facing caregiving strain, cancer, loss and upheaval.

Therapeutic methods and remote sessions

EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a structured approach that helps process memories linked to trauma and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions. It uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work and can be helpful for people with past abuse, panic or trauma symptoms.

Humanistic integrative and psychodynamic ideas complement EMDR in her work. The humanistic integrative side pays attention to felt experience and body signals, while psychodynamic and object relations perspectives look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Together these approaches aim to help someone better understand recurring relationship and self-esteem patterns rather than promise a fixed outcome.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques that suit the client's goals, and adjust the plan as sessions progress. Practical tools or short exercises may be offered between meetings to test new ways of relating.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt pacing and tasks to suit remote appointments and to make sessions workable within everyday life.
