About Zuzanna
Zuzanna Horowska is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of clinical experience and works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Zuzanna uses an integrative humanistic approach. She draws on psychodynamic ideas, object relations and transactional analysis alongside Gestalt and some body-focused exercises. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories.
Sessions focus on what is happening in thinking and in the body. She pays attention to how past experiences affect present relationships. Conversations look at feelings, thoughts and sensing in equal measure. Practical tools and occasional homework are offered when they may help.
Zuzanna describes the working relationship as central to change. She aims to help people notice repeating patterns, improve communication and grow self-confidence. She also supports people facing major life changes and specific difficulties such as panic attacks or problems after abuse.
Her background includes roles with cancer and health charities and work supporting people affected by substance use. This experience informs her work with people who are juggling illness, caregiving and emotional strain. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts work in English.

EMDR and integrative approaches for remote work
EMDR is a method used to help process distressing memories. It involves guided bilateral stimulation while bringing a memory to mind and can be offered to people with trauma symptoms or strong emotional reactions. Psychodynamic and object relations ideas look at early patterns and how they show up in current relationships. These approaches help make sense of repeating behaviour and feelings.Finding the right approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. She will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable. Over the first sessions she will suggest methods to try and adjust them as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and have shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows for quieter conversations without needing to be in an office, and video or phone sessions can be chosen to suit energy levels and bandwidth constraints.
