About Iwona
Iwona Dreksler creates a warm, non-judgemental space for people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to turn. She is named as a counsellor in the first paragraph so visitors immediately know who they will read about. Iwona explains things simply and offers gentle, practical support for everyday struggles.

Background and approach
Over six years she has worked in both independent practice and in charitable bereavement services. Her background also includes supporting people as a mental health support worker and time spent working with children and young people in school settings. Iwona uses a mix of approaches that are guided by the person in front of her.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to help understand relationship patterns and on client-centred listening to make sure conversations follow what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises are offered when they fit the presenting concerns. Areas she commonly addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties, plus issues around self-esteem, sleep, eating and parenting strain.
She also has experience with trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD and identity issues including LGBT concerns. Sessions are available in English and Polish and are offered online for international clients. Appointments can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Online support
Client-centred counselling puts the person's agenda first. In practice this means the counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the issues the person brings. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to think things through.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will talk with each person about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest a way forward. Decisions about techniques and focus are made together, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls work well for a full session with face-to-face contact. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging provide a shorter check-in or a way to reflect between appointments. These options make it easier to access support from different time zones since international clients are accepted and sessions can be scheduled to suit individual routines.
