Izabela Burge

Izabela Burge offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, stress or other difficult emotions. She aims to make sessions easy to fit into a busy life and to help clients feel heard and understood from the first meeting. Izabela uses a warm, conversational style and focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions.

Izabela is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society - NCPS. She has a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations, and training as a certified hypnotherapist. Her background also includes roles supporting wellbeing and bereavement in community and charity settings.

Her approach is flexible and centred on each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred work to keep the conversation focused on what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments that change feelings and behaviour.

Izabela also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas where useful, and hypnotherapy when a client and therapist agree it may help. She regularly checks in with clients so they stay involved in choosing the direction of therapy.

She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, ADHD and anger. Izabela welcomes people seeking support for life changes, career questions, parenting strain, or longer standing patterns such as attachment and abandonment issues.

Approaches used in online counselling and how they can help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and pace, offering a space to talk without being led by a script. It helps when someone needs a supportive listener to make sense of strong feelings and to decide what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete techniques to adjust them. It is useful for anger, anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep returning.

Hypnotherapy can be used as an adjunct to talk work to help people access focused relaxation and change habitual responses. It is offered when the client and therapist agree it may be helpful for issues like stress, sleep or strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and will check in regularly to adapt the plan. This is a collaborative process that values the client’s experience and choices.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options with the therapist before booking. The practical benefits of online work can include greater ease in fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and the ability to continue work with a single therapist across different locations. Ask about session length and scheduling to see how therapy can fit into your everyday routine.
