Contact Zsuzsanna Purnell For Therapy In Shoreham-by-Sea
You do not need to be in crisis to ask for support.
You may simply know that something does not feel right. Perhaps anxiety keeps returning, a relationship feels difficult, you feel emotionally exhausted, or you are repeating patterns you no longer want to live with.
I offer therapy, counselling and life coaching in Shoreham-by-Sea for individuals and couples who want a compassionate space to understand what is happening beneath the surface and create meaningful change.
Not sure which type of support you need? That is completely okay.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation and we can talk through what is bringing you here, answer your questions and explore which approach may suit you best.

A Simple First Step
Starting therapy can feel uncertain, particularly when you are not sure what kind of help you need.
You do not need to work that out before contacting me.
1. Book a free consultation
We begin with a relaxed 15-minute conversation about what you are experiencing and what you would like support with.
2. Choose the right type of support
Together, we can consider whether therapy, counselling or life coaching feels most appropriate.
3. Begin at a pace that feels manageable
There is no need to commit to a long programme before you have experienced the work. Your support can develop around your needs.
Not Sure Which One To Choose?
You do not need to choose alone.
A simple way to think about the different approaches is:
For deeper or recurring emotional patterns and experiences you want to understand and transform.
For supportive space to process current emotions, challenges and life circumstances.
For future-focused clarity, goals, confidence and practical change.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which session is right for me?
You do not need to know before getting in touch. The free consultation is an opportunity to explain what is happening and discuss which type of support may be most appropriate.
What is the difference between counselling and Transformational Self-Love Therapy?
Counselling generally provides supportive space to explore your current emotions and circumstances.
Transformational Self-Love Therapy offers deeper exploration of recurring emotional, relational and embodied patterns and may suit people looking for a more intensive therapeutic approach.
Do I have to commit to several sessions?
No. You can begin with one session and decide what feels right from there.
Are sessions confidential?
Yes. Sessions are confidential within normal professional, ethical and legal limits, which can be explained before you begin.
Are online sessions available?
Yes. Online sessions are available where appropriate.
What if I feel nervous about starting?
