About Zsuzsanna
Zsuzsanna Purnell is a therapist with ten years of experience who focuses on helping people find calmer, more confident lives. She holds BACP accreditation and combines practical tools with compassionate support to address issues that drain energy and self-worth. Zsuzsanna aims to help clients move from survival mode into clearer, more purposeful ways of living.
She works with common challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions. Relationship strain, intimacy issues and parenting concerns are also within her scope.
Background and approach
Other areas she supports include grief, anger, self-esteem, career transitions and coping with life changes. Zsuzsanna uses straightforward, action-oriented methods that make sense day to day. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to offer practical skills and emotional understanding.
Sessions focus on small, achievable steps and on rebuilding self-respect. Her approach mixes compassionate listening with techniques clients can practise between meetings. She helps people recognise old patterns and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
Work often includes building emotional resilience and clearer personal boundaries. Sessions are available in English and Hungarian and are offered across the United Kingdom. Zsuzsanna also addresses specific concerns such as postpartum depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, immigration issues, and process addictions.
She supports people through divorce, guilt, shame and feelings of isolation. Practical change is a key aim. People who want honest, steady support while learning tools to manage emotions and behaviour may find her style helpful.
The process begins with one clear step towards better day-to-day coping.

How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.DBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, emphasises emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It offers clear skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships and reducing impulsive behaviours.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships. It helps people build stronger emotional connections and resolve recurring patterns that cause pain.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Adaptations and small experiments help find what feels most useful.
Online sessions can be delivered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing notes or a flexible schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping a steady therapeutic rhythm.
