She trained in psychology at degree level and has completed hypnotherapy certification. Her background includes work in bereavement services, schools and community mental health settings.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Izabela commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques in her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so sessions reflect what matters most to the person. This approach can help when someone needs a steady, non-directive space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep issues and managing stress. She may also use mindfulness methods to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce rumination and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with the client and agree what to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.
The biography notes she offers online, telephone and messaging counselling, so please confirm exact session formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - keeping appointments on a lunch break, having a shorter check-in after work, or avoiding travel time. Telephone or messaging options can be useful if you prefer not to use video or need a quicker way to connect.
