About Iwona

Iwona Dreksler works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and relationship concerns using a mix of client-centred and practical approaches that focus on how early experiences shape current feelings and behaviour. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years' experience in therapeutic work.

Iwona holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, which she uses alongside work in bereavement support and as a mental health support worker. That combination means she often draws on practical techniques while paying attention to attachment patterns and personal history.

In sessions she aims to listen without judgement and to help people identify manageable steps forward. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also offers cognitive behavioural strategies and solution-focused ideas when those fit the issue at hand.

Her experience includes supporting people with trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, parenting challenges and compassion fatigue. She has worked with adolescents in schools, which has informed her understanding of how early relationships affect later emotional responses.

Iwona speaks English and Polish and accepts international clients. Practical arrangements such as session formats and fees vary by location and with the subscription model used; the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are organised

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and response. It can help when relationship difficulties, attachment issues or past abandonment affect present wellbeing.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s concerns at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens and reflects to help the person clarify feelings and priorities without imposing direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain difficulties and introduces practical steps to change them. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.

The therapist accepts international clients and offers sessions under a subscription model; specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so please confirm which formats are available before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
