Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It explores attachment styles and helps people address relationship difficulties, trust issues, and the emotional impact of early loss or separation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, unhelpful thinking, and symptoms that interfere with daily life. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client’s own experience, offering a supportive, non-directive environment where individuals can explore feelings, build self-awareness, and develop greater self-acceptance.

Iwona Dreksler works collaboratively with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. Choosing the right therapeutic style is treated as part of the process, with adjustments made as therapy progresses so clients feel involved and supported in decisions about their care.

Online therapy with Iwona is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, accommodate busy lives, and allow continuity of care for international clients and those who may find in-person visits difficult.
