Recent reviews
Iwona has a very down to earth side, positive personality and caring manner which helped it really easy to open up to her. Apart from all these personal traits she is really good at her job. As a psychologist myself I found her way of work very beneficial. She is a great listener and helped me through a lot on a short period of time that I met her. I strongly recommend Iwona ☺️

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I have enjoyed very much my sessions with Iwona. I really clicked with her and I appreciate that she remembers details of things I’ve said in other sessions, she’s shows interest in every word I say and is very compassionate.
Iwona has been amazing helping me move forward from a break up. From setting boundaries, to finding myself, to helping me see my self worth, she has helped me in the most kind and compassionate manner. I leave every session feeling better, and happy that I have something to work on.
Not pushy very relaxed helps you move at your pace. Very good at understanding and finding paths of issues to look at and talk about
Iwona is an empathetic and kind listener. By reflecting back what I am saying she has helped me to see myself more clearly.
Amazing woman and specialist. I enjoy our sessions. She is a big professional. She helps me to understand myself better, my strengths, how to cope with different situations. She makes my life better and easier. Thanks her a lot for this experience)
Patient, understanding and helps bring out words you're struggling to express. Also very comforting, positive and really lifts the mood after every session :)
Iwona is extremely professional with a warm and caring approach. She understands my rollercoaster of emotions even if I don't. She is giving me the tools I need to overcome the situation I find myself in.
Iwona is a great, open-minded specialist, who showed me a lot of compassion and understanding. During sessions I felt comfortable and never judged. I strongly recommend this therapist!
