Iwona Dreksler, BACP

Iwona Dreksler offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people who need support with emotional strain and life changes. She introduces herself simply and invites honest conversation so clients can say what matters to them. Her manner is warm and focused on helping people feel heard and understood.

She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over six years she has worked in private practice and alongside charity and mental health support roles. That work includes bereavement counselling and support for people with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD and grief.

Her experience also covers issues such as stress, burnout, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Work with children and young people in schools has informed how she links early experiences to emotional responses in adulthood. She also supports people with neurodiversity, chronic illness and body image difficulties.

Iwona uses an approach that adapts to each person. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions aim to identify practical steps and new ways of relating to problems while keeping the client’s pace in mind.

She offers sessions in English and Polish and accepts international clients. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this can mean talking about trust, closeness and boundaries, and tracing how those habits affect daily life and relationships. Client-centred therapy centres the person’s experience, giving space for them to tell their story and feel listened to without judgment. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes in thinking and action; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the person’s needs. If something doesn’t feel helpful, she will review and adjust the plan with the client.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or travel, and it can reduce commuting time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that avoid being on camera when that helps someone focus. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools such as mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets and attachment-focused conversation to an online setting so therapy remains practical and focused on real-life change.
