Zuzanna Horowska

Zuzanna Horowska is a qualified Humanistic Integrative Counsellor with four years of experience, practising in the United Kingdom. She works flexibly across therapeutic methods to suit each person’s needs, paying particular attention to unconscious processes and experiences held in the body. The relationship between therapist and client is central to her practice, and she values thinking, sensing, intuiting and feeling equally within the work.

She aims to create a warm, safe and empathetic space where clients can explore their concerns without judgement or criticism. Therapy with her can deepen self-understanding to gently heal patterns of relating that block desired intimacy, improve the ability to communicate feelings and needs, increase awareness of how the past influences the present, build confidence and self-esteem, broaden perspective, relieve emotional pain, work through fear and anxiety, and support a more balanced, peaceful life.

Zuzanna offers a relational approach drawing mainly on Psychodynamic, Object-relations and Transactional Analysis, while integrating Gestalt and using some bodywork exercises where helpful. She is also trained in CBT and applies specific techniques when appropriate. For her, counselling involves more than listening to stories - it is helping people to tolerate and process feelings and experiences, often using creative methods, therapeutic tools and occasional homework.

She has worked with people from diverse backgrounds presenting a wide range of issues, including cancer, abuse, trauma, panic attacks, stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties and work-related problems. Alongside private practice, Zuzanna has experience with Macmillan Cancer Support, Woman & Health (a charity delivering NHS IAPT services) and EACH (a charity providing counselling to people with drug and alcohol problems). Zuzanna is a female, older, non-religious and liberal therapist.
