About Izabela
Izabela Burge offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed. She aims to help clients feel heard and understood. Sessions are presented as a place to talk through anxiety, grief, stress, relationship worries, or identity questions including LGBT concerns.
Izabela works in a flexible, person-focused way. She uses methods drawn from client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural ideas, and also offers hypnotherapy and mindfulness tools where appropriate. Sessions begin with listening to the client’s story and agreeing what would help most in the short term.
Background and approach
Her background includes a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and registration with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She also has a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations and training in hypnotherapy. Professional roles have included work with Mind South Kent, Cruse Bereavement and school-based counselling volunteering.
In sessions Izabela adapts to each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. She will check in regularly so the client stays in control of the process. Practical coping strategies, thought work, and reflective conversation are offered alongside relaxation or hypnotherapy exercises when useful.
People may come for help with mood, sleep, stress, addictions, parenting strain, anger, or struggles with self-esteem and body image. Izabela welcomes international clients and conducts work in English, arranging sessions to fit around busy lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist offers a warm, accepting space and follows the client’s pace to help them talk through their concerns and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help with habits, stress and some aspects of pain or sleep difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try first. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, so the plan is collaborative and reviewed regularly.
The biography lists online, telephone and messaging counselling; please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone sessions can be useful when quieter surroundings are preferred, and messaging can suit people who need flexible, text-based contact. Discussing practical arrangements at the first session helps match the method to day-to-day life.
