I had a great experience with Zsuzsanna, she helped me so much with my anxiety and my self confidence. Which in turn has helped my marriage.

Zsuzsanna is an experienced therapist who respects me, my past, my current struggles, and understands me and my behavior well. She has great communication skills, and has very accurate pictures about the issues and the underlying feelings of mine - sometimes I don't even have to tell her how I am feeling, she can already see it on me. She always emphasizes that she only tells me recommendations of what we can de in a session, and never forces me to do anything throughout the therapy, that I do not want to. And I must say that she has a great tool set that is really helpful and non-trivial.
I can only recommend her to anyone who needs therapy.

Zsuzsanna is very caring and considerate, and she has such a calming presence. I have only had a few sessions with her, but I am looking forward to continuing with her and very much recommend her as a therapist.
