About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship stress and parenting challenges.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In addition to private practice, she provides bereavement counselling for a charity and works as a mental health support worker.
Her work often focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anxious thoughts. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centred approaches to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to build brief, manageable steps for change.
She has experience supporting people after trauma, with low self-esteem, and those facing major life transitions. She has also supported children and young people in school settings, which informs her sense of how early experiences shape later feelings and relationships.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with different responses, which suits practical problem-solving and short-term goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships affect current feelings and ways of connecting. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can explore their thoughts and decide what matters most.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree on methods to try. That collaborative process means the approach can change as needs become clearer.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep a visual focus with video or use phone calls if a quieter audio-only option is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals generally help clients find the practical setup that fits their life and goals.
