About Zsuzsanna
Zsuzsanna Purnell is a counsellor with ten years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and addiction. She works with individuals who feel stuck by low self-esteem, grief, difficult relationships, or the fallout of trauma and abuse. Zsuzsanna also supports people facing parenting strain, career change, separation and other life transitions.
She uses straightforward, practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps that build emotional resilience over time.
Background and approach
Zsuzsanna aims to help clients find more calm, clearer thinking and firmer boundaries in everyday life. Zsuzsanna is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That background informs how she plans sessions and keeps professional standards in mind.
She offers help in English and Hungarian for people located in the United Kingdom. Her approach draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. This mix is used to reduce overwhelming thoughts, manage strong emotions and repair strained connections with others.
Zsuzsanna tailors these methods to each person's needs rather than using a fixed formula. Practical matters such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging are available. Fees vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Online support
DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. In remote sessions those skills are practised and rehearsed with coaching so people can use them in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and daily realities and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when internet is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel and allow continuity when life gets busy.
