About Iwona

Iwona Dreksler offers a compassionate, client-centred approach that helps people talk through difficult feelings and rebuild balance. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can be open and work at their own pace. Iwona draws on practical methods to help with everyday struggles like stress, anxiety and relationship concerns.

She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Iwona has six years of experience, and she combines her independent practice work with roles supporting bereavement services and mental health work. That mix gives her a broad view of how grief, trauma and life transitions affect people.

In sessions she uses attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness skills. She keeps the work collaborative and focused on what a client needs right now. Practical tools and short-term goals often sit alongside deeper reflection when that feels helpful.

Her background includes work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, parenting and family-related concerns, eating and sleep issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Iwona has also supported young people in schools and understands how early experiences can shape later feelings and relationships.

Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and the service subscription model in use, and that subscription can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Iwona commonly draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence present emotions and trust, which can help with jealousy, intimacy and relationship worries. Client-centred counselling focuses on being heard and understood, offering a steady, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thinking and develop small changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a client’s needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying shorter, practical approaches first, then moving to deeper relational themes if useful. Clients are invited to shape the work and set the pace.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can still make therapy fit into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow quicker check-ins, and make scheduling around work or family easier. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients use these practical benefits to keep progress steady while addressing issues such as stress, grief, relationship concerns and ADHD.
