Background and approach

She also practises hypnotherapy and draws on several talking therapies in her work. Izabela keeps sessions simple and practical. She listens first, then helps clients spot patterns that make them feel stuck.

Together they try out small changes and coping tools that can be used in everyday life. She checks in often to make sure the approach still fits the client's needs. Her background includes roles as a wellbeing coordinator and counsellor, and volunteer posts supporting bereavement and school-based counselling.

She has also worked in cognitive rehabilitation and community mental health settings, which inform her practical mindset. People see her when they struggle with sleep, confidence, controlling anger, addiction or relationship strain. She also supports those managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, life transitions and questions of purpose.

Izabela aims to help people notice strengths and build steady ways to cope. She welcomes international clients and uses flexible session formats. Starting is straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that suit your timetable.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The counsellor creates space for clients to talk and helps them decide which changes feel right. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety and improve daily habits. Hypnotherapy works with relaxed attention to access underlying thoughts and behaviours; it can be useful for sleep problems, anxiety and habit change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with clients to identify goals, test different techniques and adapt what is used as therapy progresses. This collaborative way helps find what fits each person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people talk face to face, while phone sessions can be shorter and easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
