About Iwona
BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Six years' experience. Iwona Dreksler works with adults and adolescents on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties. She describes her way of working as collaborative and person-centred, using approaches that include attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural, mindfulness and solution-focused methods.
Iwona also works as a bereavement counsellor for a charity and as a mental health support worker. That practical work has involved supporting people with a wide range of emotional difficulties and has informed her counselling with real-world experience. She has worked in school settings with children and young people, which shapes her view of how early experience affects later emotional health.
In sessions she aims to help people talk through stress, low self-esteem, burnout and major life changes. She also works with concerns around intimacy, eating and sleeping, parenting challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue. The focus is on what is happening now and what might be changed through practical conversation and reflection.
The clinical approaches she uses include attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns, client-centred dialogue to follow the client's priorities, and cognitive behavioural techniques for clearer thinking and behaviour change. Mindfulness and solution-focused methods are used when helpful to develop coping skills and small, achievable goals.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and Iwona accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Iwona uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when difficulties repeat in close relationships or when trust and closeness are a concern.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problem-solving day-to-day difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the counselling process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then work together to choose methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments as things change.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, because the biography does not list specific formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, education and family commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and offer options when quieter surroundings or reduced video are preferable. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors vary in how they run sessions, so check the current session options when you arrange your first appointment.
