About Iwona

She also helps with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, burnout, big life changes, and issues connected to parenting and sleep. Codependency is listed among her additional focus areas.
Iwona draws on approaches that centre the person and their relationships. She works collaboratively to help clients understand patterns that cause distress, and to find practical ways to cope. Sessions aim to be straightforward and paced to the individual.
She has experience supporting children and young people within schools, which informs how she understands early experiences and emotional wellbeing across the lifespan. Sessions are offered in English and Polish, and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients follow the platform Start Therapy process and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Working online with attachment and practical therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape feelings and trust in relationships today. It helps people notice patterns in their close relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions and offers a caring, non-judgemental space to talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and offers simple strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Iwona will discuss different methods and decide together which ones match the person's needs and goals. She aims to tailor sessions so they feel relevant and useful rather than following a fixed script.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue therapy while living abroad, since international clients are accepted. If you want to explore how remote sessions could fit your routine, mention this when completing the Start Therapy questionnaire.
