Izabela Burge

Izabela Burge offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or changes in life. She focuses on everyday problems like low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, body image, and work or career strain. Izabela welcomes conversations about addictions, ADHD, sleep difficulties and caregiver stress, and she aims to help people find clearer ways to cope.

Izabela uses a flexible, person-centred way of working. She listens first, then adapts techniques to what each person needs. This can involve practical problem solving, gentle reflection on patterns from the past, or learning new ways to manage distress in the moment.

She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). Izabela also holds qualifications in hypnotherapy and a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations. Her background includes roles in community and charity settings supporting wellbeing and bereavement.

Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve. Izabela checks in regularly to make sure the work feels helpful. She aims to help people notice strengths, build small changes, and reduce the daily burden of worry or pain.

If someone is unsure where to start, Izabela encourages a brief conversation to clarify goals and match on a plan that suits their life and schedule.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Izabela commonly blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and responding to what the person says, helping them feel understood and in control of the pace and focus of sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Izabela works collaboratively to decide which methods fit someone’s goals and preferences, and she revises the plan as progress is made. The first few sessions are used to understand needs and agree on a way forward together.

The original biography lists online, telephone and messaging counselling as options; please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Telephone or messaging sessions may be useful when video is not convenient, while online conversations can support focused skill learning and regular reflection.
