About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler offers a warm and non-judgemental therapeutic space for people seeking support. She is a BACP registered counsellor with six years of experience and works with adults and adolescents. Iwona aims to help clients talk through difficult feelings and find practical ways to cope.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and uses a compassionate, collaborative style. In sessions she listens, helps people make sense of their experiences, and works with them to set achievable goals. Her practice combines listening with practical techniques so clients can try things between meetings.
Iwona has experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, stress and burnout. She also supports those facing major life transitions and those seeking help with sleep and rest concerns.
Alongside private practice she works as a bereavement counsellor for a charity and as a mental health support worker. She has also supported children and young people in school settings, which informs her view of how early experiences can shape later emotional life.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Iwona speaks English and Polish and accepts international clients. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online working together
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It looks at connection, trust and how past losses or disruptions can influence sleep, relationships and emotional reactions. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and past experiences and jointly decide which methods to try. This means sessions can shift over time, blending listening, practical exercises and short-term strategies to match what actually helps.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work during moves or when living abroad, while the therapist and client agree on a plan that suits their schedules and needs.
