About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' practical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strains and anger. Iwona also supports people facing parenting stresses, trauma and difficulties with sleep and eating.
She holds an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Alongside private practice she provides bereavement counselling for a charity and works as a mental health support worker. That mix of roles has given her regular exposure to a wide range of emotional and practical difficulties.
Iwona describes her work as collaborative and client-centred. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most urgent, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and finding practical steps to try between meetings. She draws on approaches that help with attachment, thinking patterns, present-moment awareness and solution-focused planning.
Her background includes supporting children and young people in school settings, which informs how she sees the effects of early experiences on adult wellbeing. She also works with people dealing with bereavement, compassion fatigue and major life transitions.
Sessions can be conducted in English or Polish. International clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and practical arrangements via the See online therapy options button and the matching questionnaire.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. It can help when anger or resentment links back to past hurts or attachment difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, using listening and reflection to clarify what the client wants to change and how they feel about that.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behaviour changes, which can be useful for managing anger, anxiety or low mood. These approaches can be mixed so sessions feel practical and relevant to what the individual needs.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree on a way forward together. That shared planning can include brief exercises, between-session tasks or focused conversations depending on the person's priorities.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adjust pace and tools to suit remote work and everyday routines.
