Zuzanna Horowska, BACP

Zuzanna Horowska is a humanistic integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She offers a personalized, relational approach that draws on a range of traditions so each person receives the methods that best fit their needs. Her work brings together psychodynamic, object-relations and transactional analysis perspectives, enriched by Gestalt and some body-oriented exercises, and she applies cognitive behavioural techniques when appropriate. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy often used for processing traumatic memories.

Her practice places particular emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and on attending to thinking, sensing, intuiting and feeling as interconnected parts of a person’s experience. She pays attention to unconscious processes and what may be held in the body, helping people increase self-understanding and recognise patterns of relating that may limit intimacy and wellbeing. Typical aims in her work include improving communication of feelings and needs, building confidence and self-esteem, gaining perspective on how the past influences the present, and reducing emotional distress such as anxiety and panic.

Zuzanna has worked with people facing a wide range of issues, including cancer, abuse and trauma, panic attacks, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties and work-related problems. Alongside her private practice she has experience at Macmillan Cancer Support, Woman & Health – a charity delivering NHS IAPT services – and EACH, a charity providing counselling for people with drug and alcohol problems. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and is committed to a warm, empathetic and nonjudgmental style of working.

She is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients.
