About Zuzanna

Zuzanna Horowska works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes using a humanistic integrative approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years' experience. Zuzanna draws on several ways of working to help people talk through feelings and patterns that affect daily life.

She describes her practice as relational and pays attention to both thinking and bodily experience. Zuzanna uses psychodynamic ideas and object relations thinking to look at how past experiences influence current relationships. She also uses transactional analysis and elements of Gestalt to look at patterns of interaction and present-moment experience.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is one of the approaches she uses for trauma-related distress. She may also suggest some cognitive behavioural (CBT) techniques when they seem helpful for particular problems such as panic or anxiety. Sessions can include practical exercises and occasional homework to try between meetings.

Zuzanna has worked in services including Macmillan Cancer Support, Woman & Health and EACH, gaining experience with people affected by cancer, addiction, abuse and trauma. Her background informs how she supports clients facing caregiver stress, isolation, guilt and grief.

People who come to her often want to understand why they repeat certain patterns, improve communication, or find ways to manage panic and overwhelming anxiety. The first meetings focus on what matters most to the individual and on deciding together how to proceed.

How EMDR and integrative methods are used online

Zuzanna uses EMDR as one of her main approaches for working with trauma-related distress; EMDR involves guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation while recalling distressing memories, aiming to reduce emotional charge and support new perspectives. She also draws on psychodynamic and object-relations ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice repeated ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to use and when to try different techniques. This is a collaborative process and may change as sessions progress.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some therapeutic tasks, like guided breathing or reflection, more convenient to arrange around work or caregiving commitments.
