Izabela Burge helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. She meets clients with calm, practical support and focuses on what’s most pressing for them. Izabela is based in the United Kingdom and works online in English for people inside and outside the UK.

She uses a flexible, client-centred style that adapts to each person. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now, spotting patterns that keep problems going, and trying simple steps to test change.

Background and approach

Izabela blends approaches so practical coping skills sit alongside deeper work on past experiences and beliefs. Izabela holds a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She also trained in hypnotherapy and has a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations.

Her background includes counselling roles with Mind South Kent and volunteering for bereavement and school-based support services. Typical concerns she helps with include anxiety, stress, depression, grief, self-esteem worries, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, addictions, and ADHD-related difficulties. She also works on attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and pain, guilt and shame, and life-purpose questions.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect to set small goals, try techniques between sessions, and review progress together. The overall aim is to help people regain a sense of control, reduce distress, and find clearer ways forward that fit their daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Izabela commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help people facing everyday struggles. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's pace so people feel heard and guided rather than directed. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood.

She also draws on hypnotherapy when it fits a client's goals, using guided relaxation and suggestion to address habits, anxiety and some sleep concerns. These methods are chosen together with the client, so the plan reflects personal needs and what feels manageable for them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Izabela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That partnership helps people feel in control of their therapy and able to test new ways of coping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer audio only or have lower bandwidth, live chat provides a short real-time check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
