Zuzanna Horowska , BACP

Zuzanna Horowska is a BACP-qualified humanistic integrative counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She combines humanistic principles with integrative methods to tailor her work to each person's needs, paying attention to both unconscious processes and the ways emotional experience is held in the body. Zuzanna places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a central vehicle for change, and she values thinking, sensing, intuiting, and feeling equally within therapy.

Her approach is relational and draws on psychodynamic ideas, object-relations, transactional analysis, and elements of Gestalt, alongside selective cognitive-behavioural techniques and body-focused exercises when appropriate. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which can be used in work with trauma and distress. Zuzanna supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and life transitions, and she offers focused help for issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, panic attacks, and the emotional impact of serious illness.

Her background includes roles with Macmillan Cancer Support, Woman & Health, and EACH, bringing experience of working with diverse populations and complex presentations. The BACP credential refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

EMDR and Relational Methods for Online Support

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions. It typically involves guided attention and bilateral stimulation to support the brain in reprocessing painful experiences so they feel less overwhelming.

Psychodynamic-informed work explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape present feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people gain insight into recurring patterns, improve self-understanding, and shift how they relate to others. Gestalt-influenced techniques encourage present-moment awareness and integration of thoughts, sensations, and emotions to support fuller contact with oneself.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Zuzanna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She and the client review progress and adapt the plan as needed to ensure the work remains helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these options, helping clients maintain continuity of care and access approaches like EMDR and relational therapies in a way that fits their life.
