Zsuzsanna Purnell, BACP

Zsuzsanna Purnell helps people move beyond anxiety, depression, addiction, and persistent self-doubt toward a steadier, more confident life. She communicates a clear message - past experiences do not have to determine present worth - and she combines compassionate listening with practical techniques to rebuild self-respect and emotional resilience.

As a qualified therapist and Transformational Self-Love Coach, Zsuzsanna supports clients in finding inner calm, restoring confidence, and improving relationships. She has supported hundreds of clients in overcoming emotional pain and shifting out of survival mode into clearer, more intentional living. Her work focuses on helping people reconnect with their self-worth while developing sustainable coping strategies.

Zsuzsanna holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects recognised professional standards in counselling practice. She frames change as a step-by-step process and offers steady, empathetic guidance to help clients take the first steps toward lasting, meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow from them. It provides practical strategies to test and change thinking patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday difficulties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal skills. It offers structured tools to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive responses, which can help with anger, trauma-related reactions, and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Zsuzsanna works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Zsuzsanna is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to access support around work, family, or mobility constraints, while allowing consistent, ongoing work toward practical goals.
