About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler uses a compassionate, collaborative approach to help people find clearer ways of coping. She greets clients with a calm, non-judgemental manner and a focus on what matters most to them. Her practice is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel manageable.
Iwona holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has six years of experience working in different settings, including charity bereavement services and as a mental health support worker.
Background and approach
This practical background shapes how she responds to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and major life transitions. Her work often centres on building understanding of early experiences and how they affect feelings now. She uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to create a steady, trusting space.
Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools are offered when they suit the client’s goals. People come to Iwona for many concerns such as stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she is able to work with international clients. Therapy is tailored to each person and paced to feel manageable, whether the focus is short-term problem solving or deeper exploration of past experiences.

Online support
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques when helpful, such as spotting unhelpful thinking and practising small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness strategies may be suggested to help with stress, sleep and emotional regulation. Together these approaches offer both short-term tools and deeper understanding depending on what someone needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and she will collaborate with each person to decide what fits best. That decision takes into account goals, how someone prefers to work, and practical factors like session length and frequency.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for longer conversations and visual connection, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth situations, and messaging offers flexible, ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments.
