About Zuzanna
Zuzanna Horowska is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and caregiver stress.
Zuzanna uses a relational, humanistic integrative approach. She pays attention to thinking, sensing, intuiting and feeling in sessions. The therapeutic relationship is central for her. She notices how patterns from the past shape present relationships and day-to-day responses.
Her work draws on psychodynamic and object-relations thinking alongside transactional analysis and Gestalt ideas. She can include simple body-awareness exercises and practical tools in sessions. She also offers elements of cognitive behavioural techniques when they suit a client's needs.
Zuzanna asks clients to talk through their current difficulties and how they affect everyday life. She looks for repetitive patterns that leave people putting others first or feeling empty. Sessions can include reflection, noticing bodily reactions, and short exercises to try between meetings.
Her background includes roles with Macmillan Cancer Support, Woman & Health delivering NHS IAPT services, and EACH, a counselling charity for people with drug and alcohol problems. That experience informs her work with people dealing with illness, addiction-related strain and major life transitions.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing involves guided attention shifts while recalling distressing memories. It is often used for trauma-related symptoms and for reducing the intensity of painful memories.Relational and psychodynamic ideas - these approaches focus on patterns in relationships and how past experiences shape current behaviour. Online sessions can be a space to notice those patterns and talk about recurrent ways of relating.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which approaches to try based on needs, goals and personal preference. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. They also allow work to continue when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as EMDR and relational work to an online setting, while checking what feels doable for each person.
