About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler offers counselling grounded in attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where adults and adolescents can talk honestly about what matters to them. Iwona is named up front so people know who they will be meeting.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Her background includes several roles outside private practice, such as bereavement counselling for a charity and work as a mental health support worker. That experience means she is used to supporting people through grief, trauma, and major life changes.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help shift unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused steps to build practical changes. Mindfulness tools are offered to help manage stress, sleep and anxiety.
Iwona has six years of practice experience and has worked with a broad range of difficulties. These include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, low self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, parenting concerns and adoption and foster care related issues. She has also supported children and young people in schools, which informs her understanding of developmental influences.
Therapy with her aims to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical techniques for coping, and ongoing encouragement as they try new ways of managing life.
How her approaches can work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to be heard without judgement. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, helping them make sense of feelings and find their own solutions for issues like low self-esteem or life changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and agree what feels most useful. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made. Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping regular contact when travel is difficult. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations and supports continuing therapy while life circumstances change.
