Counselling in Paphos & online across Cyprus

Counselling for when you feel stuck, overwhelmed or not quite yourself

Perhaps your mind rarely switches off. You find yourself overthinking, struggling with relationships, questioning your worth or wondering why the same patterns keep showing up in your life.

You might know something needs to change without knowing where to begin. Or perhaps you simply need somewhere to talk, without having to explain everything perfectly.

I offer warm, collaborative counselling in English or Polish, face to face near Paphos or online anywhere in Cyprus.

You don’t need to have all the answers before starting. We can begin wherever you are.

About me

Hello, I’m Izabela

Born in Poland, educated in the United States and trained in the UK, I know what it is to build a life far from where you began. Many of my clients are expats in Cyprus, and I understand how moving abroad can bring freedom, but also loneliness, identity questions and pressure on relationships.

I am a pluralistic counsellor: I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Drawing on person-centred, cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic approaches, and hypnotherapy where it helps, we shape the work around you, your pace and what feels right.

You will be met with warmth, honesty and without judgement. I’m a fully qualified Level 5 Pluralistic Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Psychology. I am also DBS checked.

What you can expect

  • A safe, confidential and non-judgemental space
  • Sessions in English or Polish
  • Evening and weekend availability
  • Short-, medium- or long-term support, whatever you need

How it works

Simple, supportive and shaped around you

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. Here is how we make it a gentle one.

  1. Book a free consultation

    A relaxed 20-minute conversation with no pressure and no cost. You tell me what brings you here and we see whether we are a good fit.

  2. Choose how we meet

    Face to face in the Paphos area (close to the airport at Mandria), or online by secure video call wherever you are in Cyprus.

  3. Begin at your pace

    Sessions last 50 minutes. We explore what you are experiencing, make sense of patterns that keep you stuck, and build practical tools that work for you.

  4. Review and adapt

    We check in regularly. If something isn’t helping, we change it. You stay in the driving seat.

My therapeutic approaches

Pluralistic

Different people need different things. We collaborate, try what suits you, and adapt if an approach isn’t working.

Person-centred

Empathy, acceptance and authenticity, so you feel heard and free to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Cognitive behavioural (CBT)

Practical, evidence-based work on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, building skills like stress management and problem-solving.

Psychodynamic & hypnotherapy

Gently exploring earlier experiences and deeper patterns, with hypnotherapy available where it can support the work.

Reaching out is often the hardest part. If life in Cyprus has left you feeling anxious, low, lonely or simply not yourself, you don’t have to work it out alone.

This is a friendly, no-obligation conversation. You can ask anything you like, tell me as much or as little as you wish, and decide afterwards whether we continue.
