About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler is a therapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with adults and adolescents on concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship problems and codependency-related patterns.
Iwona holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and also carries enhanced DBS clearance. She combines private practice work with roles as a bereavement counsellor for a charity and as a mental health support worker. Those roles mean she has day-to-day experience supporting people with trauma, PTSD, low self-esteem and burnout.
Her in-session style centres on listening without judgement and following what each person brings. She uses client-centred methods to help people talk through how they feel and what matters most to them. Attachment-based ideas help when early relationships affect current patterns.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes. Solution-focused steps and mindfulness tools can be offered for managing stress, sleep and day-to-day coping. These are described and chosen together in sessions.
She has worked with children and young people in schools, which informs how she talks about development and family patterns. Sessions can explore things like people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, codependency concerns, and coping with life changes.
Iwona offers work in English and Polish and accepts international clients. Booking starts by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Iwona’s approaches translate to online work
Iwona draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and she uses client-centred practice to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person. Attachment-based work helps when patterns like people-pleasing or difficulty trusting others are present. Client-centred practice means the person leads the conversation while the counsellor listens and reflects.She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep problems by practising small, practical changes between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and agree an approach based on the person’s goals, preferences and situation. This is a collaborative decision and can change as the work progresses.
The original biography does not list exact online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to what suits the person’s daily routine.
