About Zuzanna
Zuzanna Horowska is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also addresses grief around abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, guilt and shame and the strain of caregiving.
She describes her approach as humanistic and integrative. That means she adapts methods to match what a person needs rather than following one fixed method. Zuzanna pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and body sensations connect. She places value on the therapeutic relationship and how it affects a person’s sense of safety and connection with others.
In sessions she uses psychodynamic ideas, object-relations and transactional analysis to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. She also draws on Gestalt and body-based exercises when these help someone notice what is happening in their body. Zuzanna has training in CBT and can use some of its techniques when they fit the client’s goals. She is additionally trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) for working with trauma.
Her practice includes practical tools and occasional homework when that supports change. She has worked with people affected by cancer and with charities providing counselling alongside NHS services. That background informs how she responds to complex life stressors and long-term health challenges.
Zuzanna aims to help people name recurring patterns, communicate more clearly, and develop different ways of coping. If someone wants to start, they are invited to use the service’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How EMDR and integrative methods work in online sessions
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation while a person focuses on difficult memories. It aims to reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions and can be helpful for people who have experienced abuse, accidents or frightening events.Integrative humanistic work brings together psychodynamic, object-relations and transactional analysis ideas. These approaches look at repeating relationship patterns and unconscious influences. Gestalt elements and body-awareness exercises help people notice sensations and emotions in the moment, which can clarify what needs attention.
Zuzanna approaches the choice of method collaboratively. She will discuss clients' needs, goals and preferences and then agree which techniques to try. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the approach fits the person's experience.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. When session formats are not specified in a profile it is best to confirm current options before booking. Many people find that shorter check-ins, or choosing whether to be on camera, helps sessions fit into a lunch break or a quieter moment at home. Registered or accredited professionals can work with the same therapeutic tools online as in person, while keeping the focus on what makes sense for each client.
