About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler is a counsellor who offers a calm and accepting space for people to talk through difficult feelings. She greets new clients with a warm, non-judgemental attitude and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Iwona works in English and Polish and has six years of experience supporting adults and adolescents across a range of concerns.
She uses an approach built around attachment and client-centred principles.
Background and approach
That means she pays attention to how early relationships affect current feelings and focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped by the client's goals and paced to their comfort. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical new behaviours.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, anxiety and sleep. Solution-focused work supports people who want brief, goal-oriented change. Iwona has an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She also has experience as a bereavement counsellor for a charity and as a mental health support worker, which informs her practical approach to grief and trauma-related issues. She has supported people with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns, and works with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Iwona accepts international clients and offers a range of online session formats to fit different needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and reactions. In practice this means noticing patterns in close relationships and gently testing new ways of relating to others and to oneself, which can help with anxiety, trust and intimacy issues.Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is shared and helps the client find their own solutions, which suits people wanting a supportive space to understand themselves better.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try ideas and adapt methods to what works best for the individual. This shared way of working helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to the client's needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments, while keeping the focus on clear, practical tools and emotional support.
