About Izabela

Izabela Burge helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and life changes using approaches she adapts to each person’s needs. She offers counselling informed by Client-Centred Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Izabela is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and has three years' professional experience.

She tends to begin by listening to what matters most and finding practical ways to make small changes. Sessions can include talking through recent events, learning ways to manage anxious thoughts, practising mindfulness exercises, or using hypnotherapy for specific concerns. Izabela checks in regularly to make sure the work feels useful and relevant.

Her background includes roles supporting wellbeing and mental health across charities and community services. Previous posts include wellbeing coordinator and assistant therapist roles, and experience providing bereavement support and rehabilitation work. She also holds a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations.

Izabela uses a mix of short-term strategies and longer-term reflection. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to address unhelpful thinking and behaviours, while psychodynamic ideas help look at patterns that repeat over time. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness are offered where they fit the client's needs and preferences.

People who turn to her often need help with relationships, self-esteem, addiction-related concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, or coping with chronic illness and pain. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, guilt and shame, midlife questions and career concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set the pace of their counselling; it is useful for people who want to talk through difficult feelings and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to work on specific issues such as habit change or managing distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and try different methods to see what helps most. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the sessions progress.

The biography states she offers online, telephone and messaging counselling, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online and telephone sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or travel, and messaging can be used for short check-ins or reflective notes between appointments. These formats can allow shorter appointments, flexible scheduling and less need to travel, which helps therapy fit into everyday life.
