About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has six years of experience. She works with adults on common early-adult concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationships, grief and life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients.
Iwona uses approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage day-to-day symptoms and on understanding how early experiences shape current patterns. Her background includes bereavement counselling for a charity and work as a mental health support worker, so she is familiar with trauma, PTSD, burnout and long-term stress.
She has experience supporting people with relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD. Iwona also works with concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism, codependency and body image problems.
In sessions she listens without judgement and helps clients spot patterns they want to change. Practical tools from solution-focused and mindfulness approaches are offered alongside conversations that clarify goals. Work may include short exercises, behaviour changes and thought-awareness techniques drawn from CBT.
People commonly use her sessions to cope with transitions - leaving home, starting work or study, and changes in relationships. The overall aim is clearer thinking and manageable steps forward rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's online options.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
The therapist draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps when intimacy, abandonment or attachment issues affect how someone connects with others.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting what a person says. This helps people clarify their thoughts and priorities without pressure. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to find what suits the person best. That conversation is part of the early sessions rather than a one-off decision.
The practical benefits of online working include fitting sessions around study and work, shorter check-ins when needed, and being able to connect from different locations. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, since the biography does not list them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the approaches above to suit online meetings and everyday routines.
