Izabela Burge , NCPS

Izabela Burge is a UK-based counsellor who creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, and other life changes. She offers flexible online, telephone, and messaging counselling so that therapy can fit around work, parenting, and everyday commitments rather than the other way around.

She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations, and she is a Certified Hypnotherapist. Izabela is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), which reflects her commitment to established professional and ethical standards in practice. Drawing on a client-centered philosophy, she adapts techniques to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid script, and she combines approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods and hypnotherapy when appropriate.

Izabela has experience in community and clinical roles including work with Mind South Kent, Place2Be, Cruse Bereavement, Kent Community NHS Foundation Trust, and other wellbeing services. She places emphasis on collaboration - checking in regularly to ensure sessions remain useful and aligned with each client’s goals. Many who meet her report feeling comfortable early in the process, and she aims to help clients identify strengths, build coping strategies, and move forward at a manageable pace.

Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Izabela works from a client-centered approach that prioritizes the person’s experience and choices, creating space for clients to direct the pace and focus of therapy while she offers support and guidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Hypnotherapy is offered as an adjunctive tool to support relaxation, focus, and habit change, which some people find helpful for issues like sleep, stress responses, and certain behavioural patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Izabela collaborates with each client to find what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives and to access support across different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow people to continue work with licensed professionals and therapists from home, work, or while travelling.
