About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler offers a warm, supportive counselling style that aims to help people make sense of difficult experiences. She creates a calm space for honest conversation and practical steps. Iwona’s approach is gentle and collaborative, and she speaks English and Polish.
Iwona holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of experience working in independent practice and in charity and mental health support roles.
Background and approach
That work has included supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, low self-esteem, stress and burnout, and big life changes. Her background includes bereavement counselling for a charity and supporting people as a mental health support worker.
She has also worked with children and young people in school settings, which informs her view of how early experiences shape later emotional life. This experience helps her notice patterns that affect relationships and day-to-day coping. In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive-behavioural tools and mindfulness.
She aims to tailor the work to what each person needs, mixing practical strategies with time to reflect. Many people come for help with relationships, intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, or ADHD-related difficulties. Iwona is based in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients.
She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Therapy moves at the client’s pace, with support to build confidence and clearer ways to manage daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape how people feel and connect now. Online sessions use reflective listening and discussion to identify patterns and try new ways of relating when feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.Client-centred counselling places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist provides empathic listening and helps people set the pace, which works well in video or phone sessions where someone needs time to talk without interruption.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) gives practical tools to manage thoughts and behaviours that cause distress. In remote sessions this often includes short exercises between appointments and simple strategies to try in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit someone’s goals, needs and preferences. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls replicate in-person conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when one does not want to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
