Zuzanna Horowska, BACP

Zuzanna Horowska is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on four years of professional practice to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or painful life changes. Her style is relational and down-to-earth. She focuses on how past experiences shape present relationships and feelings.

Zuzanna works in a humanistic, integrative way, blending different methods to suit each person. She pays attention to thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions. The therapeutic relationship is central to her work and she aims to offer a warm, non-judgemental space to talk.

She uses Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside other approaches when appropriate. EMDR can help people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of painful reactions. Zuzanna also draws on psychodynamic ideas and practical exercises to help people change unhelpful patterns.

Many people come to her for help with relationships, low self-esteem, trauma or coping with major life events. She also supports those facing cancer, caregiver stress, panic attacks and feelings of isolation. Sessions may include discussion, simple exercises or short tasks to try between meetings.

Before her private work she provided counselling through charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Woman & Health and EACH. These roles gave her experience with a wide range of concerns and backgrounds. People who want practical support and a collaborative approach often find her straightforward and attentive.

EMDR and integrative approaches for online support

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, is a method Zuzanna uses to help people process distressing memories. It involves focused attention paired with bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of painful reactions and intrusive memories.

Alongside EMDR she blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour and include talking, reflection and simple experiential exercises to build insight and change patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Zuzanna will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then tailor sessions to the person's needs. This collaborative process helps decide whether EMDR, reflective work or practical exercises are the best route.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or need short, accessible ways to stay in touch between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
