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 ☺️

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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!
