About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler is a BACP registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults and adolescents on common issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship difficulties and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In addition to private practice she works as a bereavement counsellor for a charity and as a mental health support worker, which has exposed her to a wide range of emotional difficulties and practical needs.
Iwona uses approaches that aim to make things easier to talk about. She draws on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships can shape current patterns in close relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques are used when people want practical tools and short-term strategies. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with stress, sleep problems and managing strong feelings such as anger.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She supports people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or low in confidence, and those coping with life transitions, parenting challenges, or trauma-related concerns.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current ways of relating. Online sessions can be used to talk through patterns in close relationships and to practise new responses in day-to-day life. Client-centred work emphasises listening, reflection and the client's priorities. In a remote session this means the counsellor follows what matters to the client and helps organise thoughts clearly. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical exercises and short-term strategies for anxiety, anger and sleep problems. CBT work online often includes setting small tasks between sessions and reviewing their impact.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what the client wants to change, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan if something is not helpful. This makes online work flexible and focused on what actually helps the person manage stronger feelings and everyday stressors.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to work with a counsellor who speaks English or Polish across different locations.
