About Zuzanna
Zuzanna Horowska is a BACP counsellor who draws on four years of practice to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship tensions and trauma. She works in a relational style that pays attention to thoughts, feelings and bodily experience. Zuzanna aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak about what is troubling them and begin to make different choices in relationships and daily life.
She uses a humanistic integrative framework that blends psychodynamic ideas, object relations and transactional analysis. Gestalt and gentle body-awareness exercises may appear in sessions when useful. Zuzanna also uses some cognitive behavioural techniques and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, applying these as appropriate to a person’s needs.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck - for example codependency, attachment difficulties, or control issues - and helps clients understand how past events affect current reactions. Work can include noticing how feelings show up in the body, practising clearer communication, and trying different ways of setting boundaries.
Her experience spans counselling roles with Macmillan Cancer Support and charities that provide NHS IAPT and substance misuse counselling. That background informs her approach to illness, caregiving stress and trauma-related concerns.
People usually come to explore self-esteem, panic or life changes, to relieve emotional pain, or to learn new coping strategies. The therapy process is collaborative, with practical tools and occasional tasks to try between sessions.
Approaches used online and what they do
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, involves bilateral stimulation alongside recalling distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge. It is commonly used for trauma, panic and distressing memories and can help people feel less overwhelmed by past events.Gestalt-influenced work attends to present-moment experience and bodily sensations, helping people notice patterns in how they feel and react. Transactional Analysis and psychodynamic ideas are used to explore relational patterns and how early relationships shape current behaviour.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and pace. That collaborative decision may shift as therapy progresses, with practical techniques added when helpful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family and work by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and exercises at home between meetings, which supports practising new ways of communicating and coping in everyday situations.
