About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler offers a calm, person-centred approach that helps men and others talk through difficult feelings. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be honest and gradually make sense of what they are facing. Iwona works in English and Polish and draws on six years of practical experience supporting adults and adolescents.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background includes charity-based bereavement counselling and work as a mental health support worker, which means she has regular contact with people managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and major life transitions.
Iwona uses approaches that focus on relationships, personal strengths and practical steps. She blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and solution-focused planning. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques and mindfulness also feature in sessions when they suit a person’s goals.
Clients commonly bring stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD challenges, or the lasting effects of abuse and trauma. She also works with issues such as compassion fatigue, body image, blended family concerns and communication problems.
Iwona aims for short, clear goals alongside deeper emotional work when needed. She stresses collaboration - the person sets the pace and priorities. To start, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Approach-led online therapy that fits your life
Iwona draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can be useful for working through trust, intimacy and abandonment concerns.She also uses client-centred counselling, which prioritises listening and the person’s own goals so sessions follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when practical changes in thinking and behaviour are helpful for issues like anxiety, sleep or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will explore needs, goals and preferences together and adjust methods as the sessions progress. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel relevant and workable for everyday life.
Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Iwona aims to plan appointments that work around work, family and daily routines so therapy is easier to keep up with.
