Zuzanna Horowska

Zuzanna Horowska is a BACP counsellor with four years of practice. She draws on humanistic and integrative ideas to shape therapy around each person. Her work pays attention to feelings, body experience and the relationship in the room. Zuzanna aims to create a warm, empathetic space where people can talk without judgement.

She uses a relational style that looks at how past experiences influence current relationships. Sessions may include talking, noticing body-held tension, and simple exercises to help people tolerate difficult feelings. Zuzanna also works with practical tools when they suit the client’s needs.

Clients come for many reasons such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing issues like attachment and abandonment, caregiver strain, codependency, communication and feelings of emptiness. Isolation and loneliness are among the concerns she helps people talk through.

Her background includes work with cancer support services and charities offering counselling for health and substance problems. This experience informs work with people managing illness, loss and life disruption. Zuzanna blends psychodynamic, object-relations and transactional analysis ideas with Gestalt and some body-focused exercises.

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - is part of her toolkit and may be used when appropriate. She aims to help people gain clearer perspectives, communicate more effectively and build greater confidence. To begin, people can use the service's matching steps and arrange sessions according to availability.

Approaches used online and how they can help

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - involves guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused memory work. It is often used for processing traumatic memories, panic and intense emotional reactions and can help reduce the hold of painful past events.

The counsellor also draws on relational, psychodynamic and object-relations ideas. These approaches look at how past relationships shape current patterns and feelings. Sessions may involve noticing unhelpful repeating patterns and practising different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That choice is made together rather than imposed, and may change as work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between commitments. When session formats are not specified in a profile, it is best to confirm which options are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often adapt tasks and exercises so they work well in an online setting, helping people continue work on emotional regulation, trauma processing and relationship patterns without needing to change their daily routines.
