Iwona Dreksler, BACP

Iwona Dreksler offers a warm, person-centred approach to counselling. She creates a calm space where adults and adolescents can talk openly about what matters. Her style is supportive and non-judgemental, and she aims to help people find clarity and move forward at their own pace.

She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Iwona also has enhanced DBS clearance. Her professional work includes a private practice, bereavement counselling for a charity, and work as a mental health support worker.

Over six years she has supported people through anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief and loss, low self-esteem, stress and burnout. She has experience helping with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stresses, sleep and eating issues, and life transitions such as ageing and adoption and foster care adjustments.

Iwona uses a blend of approaches tailored to the person in front of her. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early patterns, client-centred listening to follow what a person needs, and practical techniques from cognitive behavioural and solution-focused methods when useful. Mindfulness practices are also offered to build present-moment skills.

She works in English and Polish and accepts international clients. If you are dealing with midlife decisions, grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges or other stresses, she offers steady support and practical steps to cope and adapt.

How therapeutic approaches shape online counselling

Iwona combines attachment-based work and client-centred listening to create a grounded online counselling experience. Attachment-based ideas help look at how early relationships influence current patterns, which can be useful for relationship, abandonment and attachment concerns. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the person, helping someone feel heard and understood as they reflect on life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when practical steps are needed to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thought patterns, and solution-focused moves to set small, achievable goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options with the client and agree what feels most helpful for their goals and situation.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to see a therapist from another country. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like mindfulness exercises, cognitive tools and attachment conversations to an online setting to support progress and practical coping.
