Zsuzsanna Purnell, BACP

Zsuzsanna Purnell is a counsellor with ten years' experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, addiction and self-doubt. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works in the United Kingdom. Zsuzsanna aims to help clients build emotional resilience and reconnect with their sense of self-worth.

She uses practical tools alongside reflective conversation. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Zsuzsanna also works on rebuilding confidence and improving close relationships through focused emotional work.

Many people come for help with stress, trauma and grief. She also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, addictions, intimacy concerns and parenting strain. Additional areas of focus include divorce and separation, immigration issues, postpartum depression and processes such as porn or gambling addiction.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. That combination allows practical coping strategies, skills for emotion regulation, and attention to how relationships shape feelings. Zsuzsanna adapts techniques to what each person needs in the moment.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Conversations can be brief check-ins or longer therapy sessions depending on what the client wants. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Zsuzsanna holds sessions in English and Hungarian and does not accept international clients.

Therapeutic methods and online sessions that fit your life

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviours that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday difficulties because it gives clear steps and practical exercises to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It offers tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and better communication, which can help people struggling with anger, impulsive behaviours or addictive patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, pays attention to how feelings show up in close relationships. It helps people understand emotional responses and change unhelpful interaction patterns to build stronger connections and greater emotional safety.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Treatments can mix approaches and adapt over time so the plan matches what the person needs at each stage.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial expression and body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter option, while live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These choices offer flexibility and help people keep continuity of care when work, family or travel make in-person sessions difficult.
