About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler offers a warm, non-judgemental counselling style that focuses on building a trusting relationship. She works with adults and adolescents and aims to provide a calm space where people can talk openly and feel heard. She combines attachment-based and client-centred ideas to help clients understand patterns that came from early relationships.
Iwona also uses cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness practices to address anxiety, low mood, and stress. Sessions are adapted to each person's needs rather than following one fixed method.
Background and approach
Her background includes an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and registration with 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 exposed her to many forms of emotional distress and coping challenges.
Over six years she has supported people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship issues, low self-esteem, burnout, and major life changes. Work with children and young people in schools has informed her understanding of how early experiences shape later feelings and behaviour. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person.
Iwona aims to help clients gain clarity, build coping skills, and make practical changes. She offers appointments in English and Polish and accepts international clients for online work.

How approaches like attachment work online
Iwona uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions; this helps when anxiety, relationship issues or low self-esteem are present. Client-centred therapy underpins sessions too, meaning the focus stays on the client's experience and priorities rather than a set agenda. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used where helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps to shift mood and behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning allows approaches to be mixed or adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives or who live far from services. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when internet quality is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options let therapy fit around work, family or travel and make it easier to keep consistent appointments with registered or accredited professionals.
