  • Zsuzanna is beautiful soul who is a shining light that heals all those who are in her presence. I have had two sessions of transformational self love therapy, it has blown my mind, it is revolutionary.
    Maggie Martin
  • I have known Zsuzsanna since 2012 and I completed my training with her. As a fellow student I can recommend Zsuzsi to clients. She has a caring, natural empathy with others and is able to quickly identify the needs of her client.
    John Earl
  • I have known Zsuzsi for the past 4 years. During that time we were both developing professionally in our different but respected therapeutic fields and growing our families. During this time of uncharted waters for us both Zsuzsi was a shining star of warmth, humour, love, realness and joy. The sleep deprivation, pressures of juggling and sharing in our introspections was a blessing to have Zsuzsi to share this with. A privilege in anyone’s life, personally or professionally.  Her love for people and life, sense of humour, openness and inquisitive way is just incredible and a joy to be around. Her professionalism and commitment is inspiring. Zsuzsi’s tender honesty and openness is invigorating and ground breaking in the therapy world.  Zsuzsi’s power is all of these qualities and a huge amount of love which I have had the good fortune to basket in and see grow over time. If anyone has the chance to work with Zsuzsi, my advice would be to grab it with both hands now as I have a feeling that Zsuzsi will be sharing her therapy world wide in the not too distant future.
    Martha Mullings
  • The natural care for people, the positivity, the wanting to help and the professionality simply radiates from Zsuzsi. Everyone who choose to seek her help will surely be in great hands, I cannot but recommend her, she is one of the few I look up to.
    Tatorján Írisz
  • I trained with Zsuzsi and would not hesitate to recommend her as a counsellor.  She is warm, creative and utterly without judgement.
    Karen Macmillan
  • I went to Zsuzsanna’s Playgroup Therapy and it was great fun. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and her funny and engaging games were quick to put everyone at ease.
    Highly recommended
    Zsu Tube
  • “Zsuzsi is a well-prepared and fair professional. After the first consultation, I knew that I would be in good hands. She is a very kind, open personality, and love flows from her. During the consultations with her, I managed to reshape my thoughts and understand myself, what and why I do and accept this, as a result I managed to raise my quality of life to a higher level, I became a much more confident and balanced person. He also introduced me to the usefulness of meditation, for which I am very grateful. All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.”
    Anita
  • I met Zsuzsi during a very difficult period of my life. During his therapy, I was part of a very safe and accepting atmosphere. I am very grateful for what he did for me during therapy and for helping me in my spiritual healing. I can only recommend ❣️❣️❣️
    Erika Balazs
  • I recently had the pleasure of working with Zsuzsanna Purnell for just two sessions of her transformational self-love therapy, and I can honestly say that those two sessions were all I needed to experience a significant shift in my mindset.

    Zsuzsi created a warm and welcoming environment from the moment I stepped into her office. She listened attentively to my concerns and provided me with practical tools and techniques that I could implement immediately to improve my self-talk and boost my self-confidence.

    Zsuzsi has a unique ability to ask the right questions and guide me to explore my emotions and beliefs in a way that felt safe and non-judgmental. I felt truly seen and heard, and I left each session with a renewed sense of self-awareness and empowerment.

    Thanks to Zsuzsi, I now have a better understanding of myself and a more positive and loving relationship with myself. I highly recommend her transformational self-love therapy to anyone who wants to improve their self-esteem, self-acceptance, and overall well-being. Zsuzsanna is a skilled and compassionate therapist who can help you achieve significant transformation in just a few sessions.
    Elsie
  • Zsuzsi is an amazing person with a very special gift. During her sessions, she will get you feeling very calm and relaxed, which can take you into some very deep and unexpected places. I have noticed a massive transformation in my life since starting this process with Zsuzsi. My ability to cope with guilt, anxiety and addiction has improved massively, and ultimately finding self-love.
    Paul C.
  • I had effects of severe trauma (due to early-life incidents and home environment)- Depression, Low self-esteem, Unable to trust other people, and difficulty forming close relationships. At the root of my problems lay an inability to like or love myself. I guess that I wanted to rid myself of the deep-seated effects of the many difficult and traumatic experiences that I have endured in my life, especially in my teenage years. As a result of our sessions together, I have come to the conclusion that I am actually a rather nice guy. I have finally learned to like myself and feel that I am at the early stages of beginning to love and respect myself. In the process, I have learned to be more trusting of other people.
