About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler offers calm, practical support for people facing stress and anxiety. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk openly and make sense of difficult feelings. Conversations are paced to each person, with an emphasis on clarity and small, manageable steps forward.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Iwona brings six years of practice experience, working in both independent practice and charity settings as a bereavement counsellor and mental health support worker.
Background and approach
This background means she is used to helping people through intense life moments and longer-term struggles. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family-related stress, eating and sleeping problems, and ADHD. She also addresses issues such as low self-esteem, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Iwona has experience supporting young people in schools, which informs how she understands early life impacts on later wellbeing. Therapy sessions are collaborative and tailored to what each person needs. Iwona uses a mix of client-centred listening, attachment-informed reflection, mindfulness exercises, solution-focused planning, and cognitive behavioural ideas when helpful.
The focus is on what will make a practical difference in day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and she sees international clients. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current feelings and reactions. Online sessions use reflective conversation to identify those patterns and explore new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve trust.Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s pace. This approach suits people who want a safe space to make sense of their emotions and build confidence over time.
Iwona also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to help with anxious thoughts and practical habits. That can include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behaviour changes between sessions to test what works in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose techniques that feel helpful. This collaborative process can be adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities or travel, while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
