About Izabela

Izabela Burge offers a calm, straightforward space for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She introduces simple ways to manage strong feelings and practical steps to cope with life changes. Sessions are online, by phone or through messaging so therapy can fit around work and family rhythms.

Izabela works from a client-centred standpoint, adapting the session to what the individual needs that day. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful patterns and try small changes that can make a big difference.

How Izabela works

Hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools are available when they suit the person’s goals. Her background includes roles supporting wellbeing, bereavement and rehabilitation work. Izabela holds a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society - NCPS.

She also has training in hypnotherapy and a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations. In practical terms she focuses on common, everyday struggles: managing anger, sleep problems, parenting strain, career worries, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving. She also addresses concerns such as impuslivity, abandonment and attachment worries, body image and isolation.

Sessions aim to help people find clearer thinking and steadier coping. Izabela checks in regularly so the work stays relevant and grounded in real life. She accepts English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and adapts session style to each person’s needs.

Online support options

Approaches that can be used in online therapy

Izabela often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and able to set the pace of the work. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and suggests small practical changes to reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

She also draws on hypnotherapy and mindfulness where these fit someone’s goals. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support changes in habit or response, and mindfulness helps people notice patterns of thinking and bodily tension with less judgement.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed regularly so techniques are adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats make it easier to fit counselling around a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options increase flexibility, letting people access support from different locations and schedules without needing to travel.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
