Background and approach

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - EMDR - is part of her toolkit for working with traumatic memories. Consultations focus on the relationship in the room and on understanding how past experiences shape current reactions. Conversations are gentle but focused, and practical tasks or short exercises may be suggested between sessions.

The aim is to build clearer self-understanding and new patterns of relating to others. Zuzanna has experience supporting people dealing with relationship problems, codependency, panic attacks, caregiver stress, bereavement, cancer-related concerns and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She draws on charity and NHS-linked work alongside independent practice to inform her approach.

Sessions are offered in English and are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How EMDR and relational approaches work online

EMDR involves guided attention to distressing memories while tracking eye movements or other bilateral stimulation. It can help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the strong emotions tied to them. In online sessions EMDR can be adapted with guided eye movements or hand taps and careful preparation for each step.

Her broader relational and humanistic approaches focus on the therapeutic relationship and on noticing feelings in the body as well as thoughts. These methods help people see how past experiences influence current patterns and build new ways of relating. The therapist will discuss which methods feel most helpful and adjust the plan together based on needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for people who prefer writing or want brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into busy lives and different routines.
