About Zsuzsanna
Zsuzsanna Purnell is a BACP counsellor who helps people find steadier ground when stress, anxiety or addiction feel overwhelming. She presents a calm, straightforward manner and focuses on practical steps that can be used day to day. Her work emphasises rebuilding self-worth and managing intense emotions so life feels more manageable.
She draws on a decade of experience supporting people through depression, trauma, grief and relationship struggles. That experience includes helping clients cope with parenting pressures, career transitions and the confusion that follows separation or immigration.
Background and approach
Zsuzsanna also works with people facing process and sex addictions, compulsive behaviours and self-harm urges. In sessions she uses clear, teachable strategies from approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy, along with emotionally focused ideas to help with difficult relationships. Her style pairs practical techniques with conversations about values and self-compassion.
Clients can expect direct tools alongside space to make sense of feelings. She offers therapy in English and Hungarian to people located in the United Kingdom. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire via the Start Therapy button and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Zsuzsanna aims to help people move from survival to a calmer, more confident way of living.
How therapy approaches translate online
CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. Online CBT sessions often focus on simple exercises and short homework tasks to try between meetings, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time.DBT emphasises emotion regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication. Delivered online, DBT skills can be practised in real life and then reviewed in session to build steadier coping with strong emotions and impulses.
EFT looks at patterns that show up in close relationships and how emotions shape those patterns. In online sessions this can help people see and change repeating cycles in their partnerships or in how they relate to themselves.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and a quiet space are available. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in with less need for a camera. Live chat or text messaging can suit short updates, emotional support between sessions or people who prefer writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
