About Izabela
Izabela Burge is a counsellor who focuses on helping people through stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. She aims to make sessions practical and easy to fit into a busy life. Izabela offers a calm listening space where clients can talk about what matters most to them and decide what to try next.
She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's own goals first. That means sessions are shaped around what feels most helpful, not a rigid plan.
Background and approach
Izabela also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try new coping steps between sessions. Her background includes a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and registration with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. She has worked in wellbeing roles and volunteer counselling for organisations including Mind South Kent and Cruse Bereavement.
This mix gives experience with loss, stress and emotional support in different settings. Izabela uses simple tools from mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the issue. She explains techniques clearly and checks in regularly to see what’s helping.
Clients can expect a gentle, practical approach with some homework options if they want them. Sessions are offered online by video, by phone and through messaging formats. She works in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
If a parent needs help with juggling emotions, setting boundaries, or managing sleep and stress, Izabela focuses on realistic steps that can be tried between meetings.

Approaches that suit online parenting support
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist offers an accepting stance and helps people set their own goals, which can be useful for sorting parenting stresses or life changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It offers clear, short exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful patterns in relationships.
Hypnotherapy can be used alongside talking work to support habit change and relaxation. It may help with sleep, anxiety and managing strong emotional reactions when combined with other approaches.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the person's needs, goals and preferred pace. This is a collaborative process and choices are reviewed as progress is made.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing, want brief reflections during the day, or need asynchronous contact between calls.
