About Izabela

Izabela Burge is a counsellor who aims to help people feel heard, understood and supported. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life transitions. Izabela also addresses concerns such as addiction, sleeping problems, relationship and intimacy questions, and issues related to ADHD. She uses a calm, flexible approach so people can talk about what matters to them.

Izabela tailors sessions to each person rather than following a strict script. She checks in regularly so clients stay in control of the process. Her practice draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of thinking and behaving.

She also offers mindfulness techniques to manage stress and improve focus, and hypnotherapy for people who may benefit from guided relaxation and focused suggestion. Psychodynamic ideas inform longer-term exploration of patterns that repeat in relationships and choices.

Izabela trained in counselling and holds a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. She is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Her background includes roles supporting wellbeing and bereavement, and work in community and clinical settings.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits around work or family life. Izabela aims to help people recognise strengths, practise new skills and find clearer direction through practical, collaborative work.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centred work puts the person’s priorities first and creates space to talk about what matters right now. It helps with feeling overwhelmed, decision-making and finding clearer direction by treating the client as the expert on their life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and testing practical alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems because it gives concrete strategies to try between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It can be added alongside other work to help with stress, focus and managing difficult feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy can make fitting counselling into a busy life easier, for example by allowing sessions around work breaks or from different locations. Video or telephone work can support fuller conversation, while messaging can suit short check-ins or when less time is available. Confirm the current session options before booking so the format fits practical needs and daily routines.
