Izabela Burge , NCPS

Izabela Burge is a UK-based counsellor who offers flexible online, telephone, and messaging counselling via the betterhelp platform, making it possible to fit therapy around work, family, and daily commitments. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, addiction, sleep problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

Izabela is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), a professional register that indicates she meets recognised standards for training and ethical practice. Her formal training includes a Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, a BSc in Psychology and Public Relations, and certification as a hypnotherapist, giving her a blend of psychotherapy education and specialist skills.

Her practice is informed by a client-centred philosophy, which means she works to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly and feel heard. She adapts her methods to each person rather than following a rigid script, drawing on tools from cognitive behavioural approaches, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness where appropriate. Clients often say they feel comfortable with her right away, a response she attributes to a warm, empathetic manner and regular check-ins about progress.

Izabela accepts international clients and aims to help people discover practical strategies for coping with life changes, resolving relationship and family issues, and rebuilding a sense of purpose and wellbeing. If someone feels ready to take the next step, she offers approachable, tailored support to begin that work together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Izabela uses client-centred therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s priorities guide each session; this approach is helpful for people working through grief, self-esteem concerns, relationship and family issues, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another approach she draws on - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, stress, depression, sleep problems, and coping strategies. As a certified hypnotherapist, she can also offer hypnotherapy techniques that support relaxation, habit change, and managing symptoms linked to stress and certain behavioural issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Izabela works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust methods as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and client-focused.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and live chat or text-based messaging provide additional ways to stay connected between scheduled talks. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and other commitments while working with a licensed professional toward meaningful change.
